Facebook Ray-Ban Stories: Specifications
The key highlight of Ray-Ban Stories has to be its cameras. You get dual integrated 5MP cameras to record videos from a first-person perspective with ease. You can use Ray-Ban Stories to take pictures and record up to 30-second videos with the capture button. Or, you can also use Facebook Assistant voice commands. Yeah, there’s a Facebook voice assistant onboard, and you can just say, “Hey Facebook, take a picture” or “Hey Facebook, take a video” to capture the shot. There is an LED light in the glasses (above the camera) to let people around you know that you are taking a photo or video.
For calls and media consumption, you get a three-microphone array and open-ear speakers in these glasses. Facebook says it has used a background noise suppression algorithm to reduce background noise and enhance the calling experience. Ray-Ban Stories syncs with the Facebook View companion app to help you import, edit, and share content you captured with the smart glass.
Ray-Ban is offering these glasses with a charging case for portable charging. A fully charged case promises an additional three days of usage. Completely charging the glasses takes an hour and you get almost six hours of moderate usage.
