Facebook on Thursday launched its long-awaited Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses that let users snap photos and videos, listen to music and take phone calls. The high-tech specs, which were built in partnership with France-based Ray-Ban parent company EssilorLuxottica, start at $299 and are available for purchase online and in stores in the US, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and the UK, Facebook said. Users can take photos and up to 30-second videos through the smart glasses with voice commands or by pressing a button on the right side of the glasses. An LED light flashes to let people know when a photo or video is being taken. The glasses also feature Bluetooth, small speakers and a built-in microphone — so wearers can pair the futuristic frames with their smartphone and listen to music or take phone calls.
