Smart glasses have left the world of sci-fi fantasy and are now slowly becoming an everyday reality. One of the first significant steps forward is the futuristic Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses – and if you want a taste of what’s possible with the tech then you can now get a pair for 20% off when buying directly from Ray-Ban (opens in new tab).
For those in the US, that means a pair now falls from $299 to $239.20. Meanwhile, those in the UK can also pay £239.20 instead of the usual price of £299. Different styles and lenses cost slightly more.
The Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses are made in collaboration with Meta, so the clear emphasis so far is on social media and courting that influencer lifestyle. In our four-star review, we found them to be a sleek intro to the tech and a competent stepping stone toward more ambitious AR glasses.
Features include a dual 5MP camera that can be used to take photos and capture video all from a first-person perspective. Touch and voice controls allow you to do this with ease, as well as make calls, send messages, pause music, and more. While the open-ear speakers allow you to listen to tracks or chat with those around you without the need to remove the glasses.
Ray-Ban’s involvement means you can choose between three different design styles – including Wayfarer, Round, and Meteor – as well as multiple different lenses. All of them currently have that 20% discount until January 8 – plus you get free shipping for a limited time.
