At the end of the day, making products and wearable technology that feel normal and not challenging are the wearable technologies that will be successful. I feel like Ray-Bans and Facebook did just that with these smart glasses. More About Ray-Ban Stories Want to know even more about the ...
Instead, it looks exactly like regular Ray-Bans, albeit one that discreetly integrates a number of tech elements right into the frame.The Ray-Ban Stories are equipped with two front-facing 5.0-megapixel cameras, one on either side of the frame, which allow you take 30-second video clips (...
