Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses will allow sending WhatsApp messages in a future update. Directly with the voice, without touching the mobile, it will be possible to send messages to our contacts through the glasses.
We have already introduced Ray-Ban Stories glasses for Instagram and Facebook, which allow you to take photos and videos to upload directly to these social networks. Thanks to the integration of Facebook Assistant, it is possible to carry out other actions through voice commands , and that is where compatibility with WhatsApp would be implemented.
Hidden in the code of WhatsApp Beta for Android there are already lines of text that make it clear that Ray-Ban Stories will offer compatibility with the instant messaging platform.
For now, there are only references to linking Ray-Ban Stories to WhatsApp , and the necessary instructions for sending messages , as well as notices about the privacy and encryption of sent content.
Nothing is mentioned about the glasses reading our messages, making WhatsApp calls and other possible actions, which if they come true would be left for later, although they would certainly be well received.
At the moment, we do not know when the integration will take place , only that WhatsApp is already working on it. It is clear that the app will need an update, and it is possible that Ray-Ban Stories also require a new version of their internal software.
While futuristic concepts like the Oppo Air Glass rely on microprojectors to display images on the glasses, the Ray-Ban Stories are simpler and cheaper. They integrate cameras and microphones, leaving aside the ability to generate visual content.
Of course, sending WhatsApp messages from sunglasses is eye-catching , but let’s remember that the Ray-Ban Stories start at $299 / €329, so their sales potential is limited by their considerable price for an accessory of this type. .
