I must admit that I am one of those people who wanted the much-criticized Google Glass smart glasses.

Facebook's Ray-Ban Stories Smart Glasses: Cool or Creepy?

The Google Glass project went down in flames, but Facebook is reviving the idea with its first pair of smart glasses made in collaboration with Ray-Ban, called Ray-Ban Stories. I hope to get my hands on Stories, and I'm hopeful that I won't even look like a "glasshole."

The new Stories are currently available for $299. The frames have dual cameras on the front for shooting video and photos. There’s a physical button on the frames for recording, or you can say, “Hey Facebook, take a video” to control them hands-free.

The best thing about the new Stories is that they don’t look like smart glasses. They look like a typical pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses, if you ignore the camera lenses on either side of the frame.
