    It has better colors than some current smartphones

  14. Matthew Rumble

    Sounds dope! I can definately see this being used for moments when pulling out your phone isn’t right or isn’t possible because your hands are full. For people who say that its a privacy concern, smartphones nowadays don’t even alert people you are recording and have already got your data.

  15. TomoQuads

    for some reason you dont look smart wearing it but you more look like a pervert.

  18. Richard S

    September 9, 2021 at 11:52 pm

    Really don’t like the fact that the images are stored by Facebook and not locally on your phone. Also no mention of storage capacity or did I miss that?

  19. Khristian Willis

    September 9, 2021 at 11:54 pm

    Facebook is literally the worst company right after Amazon. I hope these flop.

    Does it mean Facebook finally enter the OS market for hardware vendors?

  24. Jamie Saunders

    September 10, 2021 at 12:57 am

    Seems too gimmicky for me, just use your phone, AR glasses should be cool though, as it helps free up your hands and stops people from looking down at their phones all the time

  25. Poncho

    No 180 VR video recording? I think it would have been the main selling point for Oculus Quest owners.

    I wouldn’t sit with someone who has a camera pointed at me all the time and looking directly to me while he is actually starring into a the abyss . it’s already enough with people starring at watches and phones. I need to hang out with normal people who actually look at me and have an actual conversation without scrolling down.

    September 10, 2021 at 5:53 pm

    Privacy invasion, plus people being filmed without consent or knowledge of being filmed is definitely going to create a lot of problems. Voyeurism next level.

    The only reason anyone would buy these smart glasses is for the inconspicuous cameras. If you see a hot person, you can take pictures or video of them without them noticing. Eventually smart glasses will be the standard for every pair that you buy so take advantage while you can.

  38. D

    September 10, 2021 at 7:53 pm

    Not cool

  39. Smile Friend

    Is the recording only 30 seconds?

  40. Denzel Reeves

    It won’t be that difficult to hide the leds imo

  41. Fykis

    No AR in the lens and I can’t go LIVE with them? I smell a flop

    September 10, 2021 at 8:55 pm

    Tf is this I was expecting way more from these. Hyped garbage for creeps who tf would a buy glasses to take pics when we already have phones in our pockets

    If these weren’t connected to Facebook I would consider getting them.

  46. Only The truth

    September 10, 2021 at 10:14 pm

    What is more creepy? The millions of security cameras watching us and our children, with praying stranger’s eyes, for the sake of security and fighting terrorism, my eyes .

    Each time a smart glass product using camera is release, someone have to bring the creepy side, when in fact even our phone cameras is creeping on us and our family.

    September 11, 2021 at 12:04 am

    The light for privacy is a joke! Anyone can put a small black tape on it and nobody would know you’re recording them. I’m sure pedos are gonna love this product. Congrats facebook! (sarcastic)

  49. Florence Mae

    And they are actually at the same price as regural Ray Bans. Now we can see how overpriced are regural sun glasses

    September 11, 2021 at 8:11 am

    Facebook selling a secret camera??? What a combination against privacy 😡

    I have seen this type technology in black mirror season and they have shown what are causes of this thing there will be no privacy. So many people will misuse this i can’t believe it means everything they shown in that season now its coming out as a product.

  60. d2020

    September 11, 2021 at 12:45 pm

    You want to use them for getting a different perpective than your phone. Or you will stick your phone to your head? Ive got the insta360 go and believe me, its awesome. The downside I see with this glasses is that it doesnt have an ultra wide camera.

    To confirm, in the Facebook view app, you can export the photos and videos and then send to other areas besides just facebook right?

    September 11, 2021 at 11:34 pm

    These will bring up some interesting situations I’m sure in business’s that doesn’t want you to record. That little light showing it’s recording I’m sure could be covered up with a tiny black speck of black tape. Probably in the long run we just gonna have to suffer more Karen videos on youtube lol

    facebook is hording lot of cash tax free in Europe as so many other american businesses as in slow motion this company is trying to bend privacy and privacy laws into something similar happening in the USA and the EU supports it both internet retail companies asserts to dominate commerce across the 2 continents involve slow integration such as the one here we can only rely on laws to be enforced on airports but i swear if anyone takes a photo of me while in Europe i will not hesitate to seize the product used in the illegal act to violate me, after living in the USA for 2 decades i have seen and experienced a lot of creepy things violated me psychically,so Zuckerberg needs to keep his distance from me or else…

    People are recorded almost everywhere they go and the cameras are managed by people they don’t see. A person with a camera on their glasses,creepy?

  74. Biggdaps

    Are there glasses with a built in screen?

  75. NileshR12

    September 12, 2021 at 6:19 am

    “Hey Facebook” is such a bad name for a summon phrase. “Hey glasses” or “Hey Ray Ban” would sound so much better

  76. M Richardson

    September 12, 2021 at 7:47 am

    What’s missing is the ability to stream from the glasses with a phone, and a usb c plug on the back for extra battery power if necessary

  79. SkyHeart

    September 12, 2021 at 10:44 am

    I’ll kick out by force anyone who comes into my store with these spy glasses. It’s basically turning people into facebook spying widgets and asks them to also pay $300.

    you realize if you use this product you are giving them control of your decisions. zuckerburg even says it in his commercial for them “you no longer have to choose to interact with your device or choose to interact with the world around you” Now you are under mind contrail with these AI gadgets, the fall oh being human is upon us.

    This is useful for women, they can use it everyday for safety. Only drawback is virus, hope this don’t get effected by virus. Solution = bigtechs can tie up with antivirus companies like kaspersky or McAfee and work together.

    Vuzix next-gen smart glasses will be better. Much more streamlined than their first pair, with the option for dual cameras, and dual in-lens waveguide displays.

  103. dsn

    Does it require to install the Facebook app in iPhone. Or it works independently.

  108. Marco Paden
