(Reuters) -Facebook Inc launched its first smart glasses on Thursday in a step toward its aim of offering true augmented-reality spectacles. Facebook said the glasses line, called "Ray-Ban Stories," would start at $299. Snap, which unveiled its smart Spectacles in 2016, this year launched AR glasses but they are not for sale and are offered only to AR creators. Snap's CEO, Evan Spiegel, said in 2019 that he expected it would be a decade before consumers widely adopted AR smart glasses. The glasses include an optional virtual assistant so photos and videos can be captured hands-free through voice commands.
