And “Stories” because, you know, Instagram stories and Facebook stories and also Snapchat “story,” lol. And after days of trying them out, I still didn’t have the sense that I needs Ray-Ban Stories. But it’s going to be tough for Facebook to convince most people that they have to have a gadget clubmaster that can replicate a few of their phone’s features while sitting on their face — even one that looks this good. I spoke with Jeremy Greenberg, policy counsel at the Future of Privacy Forum and one of the people Facebook spoke with while developing Ray-Ban Stories, about my experience.

You won’t realize they’re special Ray-Bans unless you’re looking specifically for the two cameras on the corner of the device’s frames. The glasses were first reported by CNBC in 2019, but Facebook is hardly the first company to roll out a pair of smart glasses.

Even though this is a product collaboration between two globally recognizable brands, these are Facebook glasses. People using Ray-Ban Stories may also be subjected to additional surveillance. The View app states that a wearer’s voice commands could be recorded and shared with Facebook to “improve and personalize [the wearer’s] experience.” The user must opt out to avoid this.
The white recording light is also fairly dim, which could pose privacy concerns if people don’t realize the glasses are capturing photos or video. The companion View app is bare-bones, serving as a camera roll for the glasses with basic editing capabilities. You can favorite clips and do minor touch-ups before sending footage to any app of your choice. During initial setup, it walks you through the privacy policy that asks to let Facebook collect data about how you use the glasses. A Facebook account is required to use them, but the company isn’t analyzing what you record and save in the View app to personalize ads to you. As ambitious as they may seem, Ray-Ban Stories are also yet another example of how Facebook seemingly can’t help but imitate Snapchat, which has been dabbling in smart glasses since 2016.

The glasses will become a perpetual viewfinder, emphasizing each wearer’s perspective over the experience of being in any group. As a result, people wearing them may be more drawn to capturing scenes from their unique point of view than actually participating. Also, since more than one person at a time might be wearing the glasses in any given group, this effect could be magnified, and social cohesion could be further fragmented. The smart sunglasses come in three classic Ray-Ban styles, with a number of color and lens combinations. The glasses will start at $299, with polarized and transition lens options coming in at a higher price point. The perfect match of Ray-Ban’s legendary style and Essilor’s expertise in sight.
