Rumors that Facebook would announce augmented reality glasses in

collaboration with Ray-Ban 

began to circulate very strongly this week.

This Thursday the images were leaked and it is already known what they would be like: sober, with just a few small cameras on the sides, true to the style of the company that makes one of the most famous glasses in the world.

The CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, had already advanced in June an agreement with Ray-Ban, for the development of smart glasses, which later in July he

confirmed as his next hardware launch

.

For its part, Ray-Ban indicated through a poster that there will be news about this product very soon.

Although many media speculate that the announcement scheduled for tomorrow

would be to confirm the final release date

.

This Thursday, a Twitter account released the images of the glasses:

Facebook has already revealed some details about these lenses that seem to be one more accessory

to complement with the smartphone

and will include functions very similar to the Spectacles of Snapchat or the glasses of Huawei and Gentle Monster.

How would they be

The glasses from Facebook and Ray-Ban would not have an integrated screen.

However, they will include the ability to answer and make calls, possibly with the help of

a microphone built into the mount

.

The Zuckerberg firm has already made it clear that it is not an augmented reality device, despite the fact that it announced them in the context of the virtual environment that the company wants to create in the long term, the metaverse, in which social experiences will be important. based on virtual or augmented reality.

The accessory, in addition, may be able to

capture video in a more than decent quality

, as Andrew Bosworth, vice president of augmented reality and virtual reality at Facebook, has shown on his Twitter profile, 

Boz himself shared several clips in which they show their respective points of view and where

In addition, he confirmed that they would arrive with an "iconic form factor", referring

to the classic look of the lenses

of the American manufacturer.

Everything suggests that they will be sunglasses, since the functions are designed to be used outside the home.

However, it is unknown

whether Ray-Ban will allow the lenses to be graduated

.

The collaboration with Ray-Ban has a clear aesthetic objective and to mark distance with the bulky Oculus Quest 2. Facebook aims to show that it can also offer products for everyday use with some technical adjustments.

In August, Facebook announced its new Horizon Workrooms platform, a service that allows work meetings to be held in digital environments through the use of its Oculus Quest 2 virtual reality headsets, being possible to

interact with other people through their avatars.

Horizon Workrooms is regarded as the first step for Mark Zuckerberg's company

into the metaverse

.

It will be a free software that aims to convey the experiences of face-to-face meetings to Oculus Quest 2 users.

Zuckerberg and his team see this initiative as the future of the home office, not in the near future,

but before the end of the year

.

They also see it as an addition to video chat - a way to brainstorm, chat, and collaborate.

The intention of Facebook is that its virtual reality headsets provide

a complete immersive experience

and go beyond games and can be used in meetings in virtual offices.
