Inside Meta’s first smart glasses

What’s new:

Meta is sharing the inside story of how it developed the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses.

Why it matters:

Creating Ray-Ban Stories meant Meta’s engineers had to take on new challenges to build smart glasses that married complex engineering dynamics. How do you make something that features cameras, microphones, audio, and touch controls, all while fitting into a form factor similar to a standard pair of Ray-Ban glasses?

Meta’s engineers knew the final smart glasses product had to be fashionable, comfortable, technologically advanced, lightweight, and have a long battery life. The end result, Ray-Ban Stories, are an important stepping stone on Meta’s journey towards building augmented reality (AR) glasses.
