Strictly from a design perspective, I don't see Facebook's new RayBan sunglasses as an improvement on Google Glass. And I imagine people will have a similar experience, being unable to avoid fixating on the unwavering video cameras staring them in the face. " Unlike Google Glass or Facebook's experimental Project Aria glasses, Ray-Ban Stories do not feature any built-in displays or crazy AR software. They won't replace your phone, though they will help you shoot hands-free video using two discreet 5MP cameras and three microphones. The frames also pack two personal speakers for taking calls or listening to music." So I'm not really seeing much value there, though as usual marketing could change everything.
