What we know about Facebook Smart Glasses and Ray-Ban e4s2b
Little has been revealed of the smart glasses of the Facebook until now, in addition to not using augmented reality for now and that their frame will follow the pattern found in other accessories made by Ray-Ban. However, there are plans for other models, with augmented reality, to reach the market in the future.
Smart glasses will most likely focus their technology on audio experiences, simulating audio chat rooms on the device, from new tools recently integrated into the social network, to compete with the Twitter and the Clubhouse. Furthermore, Insider of the industry say that the device will work very similarly to other products on the market, such as the Snapchat Spectacles and Amazon EchoFrames, that is, it will depend on a smartphone connection to work, only ing the information received by the cell phone without the having to take it out of their pocket.
In the future, our next release will be the first smart glasses partnered with Ray-Ban. The glasses will keep their iconic shape, and allow you to have great experiences. I'm excited to get these devices into the hands of the public and continue our journey towards augmented reality devices in the future.
Mark Zuckerberg, founder and CEO of Facebook.
The investor meeting also did not talk about a release date, but as well as the information that the devices will not feature augmented reality, which came from their announcement last year, the launch window for 2021 is known. If the launch is really this year, it gives space for the Facebook can test the products on the market without competition from Apple, which is reportedly developing augmented reality glasses but will not be released until 2023.
