After the Google Glass, THE Shows de Snapchat, Meta (the Facebook group), in partnership with Ray-Ban enters the world of glasses connected with the Stories. A range of intelligent solar which takes up three emblematic models of the brand: Wayfarer, round And Meteor. The accessory is a way to take videos and photos in a single gesture, in the idea of ​​being able to capture what the user “sees” on a daily basis. Height of chic, each pair is available in several different colors and colors of glasses. If aesthetics are there, what about technological prowess ?

First observation, the electronic equipment is discreet, only two small 5 megapixel cameras fixed on the frame suggest additional functionalities. The one on the right captures and records, while the one on the left takes care of capturing the depth of the image. The electronic system is hidden in the branches, slightly thicker than those of conventional models, without weighing down the frame.

Simplissime operation

Once activated thanks to the hidden ignition button inside the right branch, the Stories must be set up with a mobile phone, thanks to the application Facebook View. The smartphone must be at least under the Android 8 version.1 or more. On the side of Apple devices, the application is compatible from the 6S model and the iOS 13 version. Each stage of synchronization is explained step by step by a tutorial and takes on average a handful of minutes. For our part, the test carried out with an iPhone required to take it twice before establishing the connection. Be careful, even if it may seem to fall under the direction, it is necessary to have a Facebook or Instagram account beforehand to connect the glasses.

Once the connection has been established, the capture can start. Glasses on the nose, just press the button on the top of the right branch to start the video. A slight sound warns from the start of the recording. First limited to 30 seconds, the duration was extended to 60 seconds thanks to the last update. To take a photo, it’s the same gesture but by maintaining the pressure on the command. Last possible, activate the assistant with the sentence “Hey, Facebook, take a video/photo”, To start capture in hands -free mode.

From the outside, a white diode lights up above the right camera, to indicate to the around people that they are filmed or photographed. A way according to the manufacturer to avoid Stories to be used to film people without their knowledge, but it is clear that in reality light remains difficult to remotely identify.

A perfectible sound

But to share your most beautiful shots, the transfer of data stored in the glasses to the application Facebook View is a compulsory step. Nothing very rocket science, the application recognizes the number of files available for download in the memory of 4 GB of the solar pair. The user validates imports and in a few moments the files can be viewed on the smartphone. The software offers a few options to automatically or hand small montages, to be taken with a handful of filters that should be multiplied in a next update. Finally, your content can be shared on the meta group networks (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp) or downloadable from the internal memory of the phone.

The autonomy of 6 hours of the glasses in moderate use makes it possible not to be dependent on the battery throughout the day. If necessary, they are rechargeable thanks to the supplied case, in the manner of wireless headphones. THE Stories also allow you to enjoy the sound content thanks to two speakers at the rear of the branches. An option to book for listening to your messages received on Messenger and WhatsApp (functionality available in English) or even respond to short calls. Unfortunately, the sound lacks bass and ambient noises are not as attenuated as with in-ear headphones. To manage the volume and the controls, the dish of the right branch is tactile and reacts by tapping or shifts depending on the desired objective.

Ray-Ban/Meta

Absent features

If it must be recognized that the use of glasses is rather fluid as a whole, some faults are to be emphasized on the quality of the photos. The first, the absence of integrated stabilizer, you will have to keep your head stable to avoid a trembling video and beware of long hair that is very easily found in the frame. The second, the sound quality of the videos. It is satisfactory but below that of the last phones available on the market. Another bad point for connected glasses, they are not resistant to splashes, which considerably reduces their use as solar on a daily basis. Too bad for a pair whose prices start all the same at 329 euros and rise up to 409 euros for transitions glasses.

Overall, the Stories remain a fun gadget that mixes aesthetic and technology. The Meta group warns: these glasses are only the “first step” towards the metavese, an ultra immersive virtual universe that the group intends to continue to develop. Perhaps we will have to expect to see new generations of connected glasses in the coming years including a space towards this new still mysterious world.
