Meta's Ray-Ban Stories which were launched nearly two years ago sold decently well, but those who did purchase the smart glasses apparently aren't really using them.
Facebook-owner Meta today released its first annual human rights report which highlighted "salient risks" associated with its Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses which includes problems such as "informed consent from bystanders."
Facebook has announced that it will be doubling the video recording limits of the Facebook Ray-Ban Stories sunglasses from 30 seconds up to a minute. The glasses are also launching in Spain, Austria, Belgium, and France.
Regulators in Europe have expressed concerns to Facebook that its new Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses have not been well tested in the field and that the light that indicates the glasses are recording may not be sufficient to assure privacy.
Facebook and Ray-Ban have partnered to release a pair of smart glasses with integrated cameras. Called Ray-Ban Stories, they appear to be Facebook's answer to Snapchat Spectacles.
