Facebook has launched its first pair of smart glasses, which house speakers and cameras, built with eyewear firm Ray-Ban. The glasses, which are available in a range of colours and styles, are priced at £299 and will be available from September 13.

Called Ray-Ban Stories, the glasses feature two five-megapixel cameras to take photos and videos, as well as built-in microphones and speakers enabling users to make calls and listen to audio. The glasses also come with built-in LED lights to let people nearby know when the wearer is taking a photo or video and pair with the new Facebook View app, which enables users to share content from the glasses to their social media accounts.

Announcing the new hardware, Facebook acknowledged that privacy was a key issue it had looked to address when creating the new device. “As with any new device, we have a big responsibility to help people feel comfortable and provide peace of mind, and that goes not only for device owners but the people around them, too,” the social network said in a blog post.

Facebook said it would also offer guidance to users on how to safely use the glasses with regard to others. “We’ve developed guidelines for what is and isn’t an appropriate use of the glasses, some of which are surfaced right in the app during on boarding, and which are available in full online on our dedicated privacy microsite for Ray-Ban Stories.”

“These tips include respecting people’s preferences if they ask you to stop recording or don’t want to be in a photo or video, not capturing photos and videos while driving, and turning off the glasses in private areas like places of worship, a doctor’s office, or locker rooms.”
