The next-generation smart glasses also allow users to edit the taken clips via an app called Facebook View. Any taken photos can be shared to other apps on your smartphone, and not just the ones owned by Facebook.
Also, users will be able to listen to music, make a phone call while wearing the glasses.
Just like the leaks that Albawaba published earlier today, the design of the smart glasses looks like any other normal classic Ray-Ban glasses.
Equipped with voice control settings, the smart glasses wakes up when users say “Hey Facebook”.
