Meta and Ray-Ban could introduce a second pair of smart glasses later this year. Rumours suggest that they would come with improved cameras and battery life. But there could be some new interesting features, including one to make live interactions on Instagram and Facebook more interactive.
As per a report, internal documents indicate that the second-generation Ray-Ban Stories will enable users to stream videos directly to Facebook and Instagram and allow viewers to whisper into their ears.
Live streamers can communicate directly with their audience through glasses that relay comments via audio over built-in headphones. The device will feature improved battery life and better cameras to support live streaming.
It is unclear how Meta will determine which comments should be spoken in the user’s ear. Speculations are that influencers may grant the privilege to subscribers or approve comments monitored by a manager. The glasses will monitor ambient noise levels to raise the audio playback volume and prevent tampering with the recording LED indicator.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Meta’s Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses have seen over 90% of users abandon the platform. Only around 27,000 of the 300,000 units sold between September 2021 and February 2023 are still used monthly, as per the internal documents. The Journal noted that 13% of users had returned the device
The report states that the sunglasses have technical issues resulting in a poor user experience, including audio issues, voice command problems, poor battery life, and difficulty importing media from other devices.
Despite all these issues, Meta seems to be going ahead with second-gen Ray-Ban Stories, expected to hit the shelves this year’s fall. Meanwhile, the release date for the third generation of the glasses is expected to be released in 2025, which could bring in a small display, called the “viewfinder,” which will allow users to see incoming text messages and translate text. Meta’s first true AR glasses, codenamed Orion, are not scheduled for release until 2027.
