Not just a pretty frame
Would you buy Facebook smart glasses? The social media giant seems to be banking on it, with a new report by CNBC pointing to ambitious plans around AR wearables in the coming years.
Codenamed "Orion", the smart glasses are reportedly being poised as a replacement for smartphones. With functionality that includes taking and making calls, live-streaming footage to the internet, as well as using AR overlays to show information in the wearer's view, there's certainly a lot to keep a user occupied.
Given Ray-Ban's reputation for stylish sunglasses with a classic design, the collaboration could well be what saves the product from sinking at launch.

Looking smart
It's unsurprising that Facebook would need the help, given the usual complaints around design for commercial smart glasses – whether Google Glass, Microsoft Hololens 2, or even the rounded Snapchat Spectacles 2. Obviously, glasses are mainly for looking, but unless they look somewhat appealing too, AR glasses are unlikely to catch on in a mainstream market – which is why much of the chatter around the Magic Leap One AR headset has centered around its looks.
However, as with any in-development product, even reliable information could become redundant as Facebook's own internal plans change.
