Facebook and Ray-Ban were preparing something very interesting for today. However, as is the case with eagerly awaited products, someone could not withstand the tension (quite possibly the marketing department, because no one believes in coincidences in big business) and the information came to light a few hours earlier than planned for global social networks and news. servers burst.
A lot of product photos and information were lost by Evan Blass, who specializes in publishing similar classified items on his Twitter profile Ev. Two hours ago, photos of smart glasses appeared on his Twitter, which he intends to present to Facebook in cooperation with Ray-Ban in the next few hours.

If the “leak” proves to be a reality, then it will be Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses (the logo and the name of Facebook do not appear on them yet). And they should come in several different shapes: Wayfarer, Round and Meteor. They look like quite classic raybans, except that they have one small camera in each corner.
No one knows exactly what glasses will actually be able to do (we’ll find out this afternoon), but Mark Zuckerberg, the sovereign boss and ruler of Facebook, has said that smart glasses created in collaboration with Ray-Ban are an important step for Facebook on the road to “glasses equipped with the augmented reality of the future “.
So Ray-Ban Stories probably won’t offer augmented reality yet. It is much more likely that this will be the obsolete principle of the Spectacles glasses introduced by Snapchat a few years ago. Given that Facebook copied what was possible from Snapchat, it can be assumed that it will not be different with glasses.
But maybe Facebook will surprise us.
Afternoon update (inappropriate will be crossed out): Surprised / Not surprised.
