The first fruits of collaboration between Facebook and Ray-Ban is closer to come true. The CEO of the social network, Mark Zuckerberg, said in the presentation of the financial results of the second quarter that the next product of the company will be an intelligent glasses.
"The glasses have their factor iconically and allow you to do some very interesting things," said Facebook co-founder. "So I'm excited to put them in the hands of people and keep moving on the way to the graduated reality glasses in the future," he added, although it did not require product launch dates.
Little more Official information is known about future intelligent Facebook glasses. It is not known exactly what it means with "interesting things", although the company said earlier that the device will not have an integrated screen. That is, they will be devices that will prepare the road to augmented reality glasses.
Previous rumors ensure that the smart glasses of Facebook will allow you to make and receive calls, as well as video and live audio transmissions. However, the ability to interact with the real world through images would not be available in this first version.
that yes, the smart glasses will be responsible for preparing the way for the "metaveso" that aims to build Facebook, according to Engadget. Is that the social network does not want to stay behind in the current interconnected and vertiginous world dynamics where "traditional" interaction platforms are losing strength.
While Facebook is still the most used social network in the world, It is far from being the only one. To keep the leadership of him alive, Zuckerberg wants to create a virtual world in which users can interact with others from any part of the planet and acquire intangible goods. Likewise, the firm wishes to have a strong virtual advertising presence.
The company knows that the development of its "metaverse" is not a matter of days or months, but rather years. In this sense, he understands that hardware is a fundamental part for people to enter it. At present, under its orbit is Oculus, its division specialized in virtual reality that sells the well-known Oculus Quest 2.
