The advancement of technology and its endless potential never cease to amaze. And, one name responsible for this is Facebook. Now, in a bid to ensure that tech-lovers have something new to obsess over, the social media giant has looked to Ray-Ban to help them craft the next generation of smart glasses, Ray-Ban Stories.

Boasting all of the sleek sensibilities and classic colours synonymous with the infamous eyewear name, shoppers will be able to enjoy the latest in technology whilst remaining undeniably suave in the 50s-style Wayfarer and Wayfarer Large frames. But, while style remains at the forefront of the collaboration, the innovative technology invented by the minds of Facebook still land a starring role in the creations. Whether it is the memory-capturing dual integrated 5MP camera or triple mic feature, the new accessories make living in the moment, whilst also navigating the joys of the digital age, undeniably hassle-free. And, when your adventures are over, the pair have ensured that reliving your fondest memories is made easy as they unveil the accompanying app, making importing, editing, and sharing content seamless.

“Ray-Ban Stories is designed to help people live in the moment and stay connected to the people they are with and the people they wish they were with,” explains Vice President of Facebook RealityLabs, Andrew Bosworth. “EssilorLuxottica has been nothing short of stellar in this partnership, and through their commitment to excellence we were able to deliver on both style and substance in a way that will redefine the expectations of smart glasses. We’re introducing an entirely new way for people to stay connected to the world around them and truly be present in life’s most important moments, and to look good while doing it.”
