(Pocket-lint) – In 2021, Meta revealed that it had teamed up with Ray-Ban to create smart glasses. Dubbed Ray-Ban Stories, these glasses were initially only available in the US, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and the UK.
The stylish smart glasses were clearly popular, with the company now announcing that it’s bringing Ray-Ban Stories to more countries in Europe, including Spain, Austria, Belgium and France. France has to wait until April 14, but other regions can now purchase Ray-Ban Stories directly online and through select stores.

If you don’t already know, Ray-Ban Stories are designed to help you capture the world around you and stay “present” at the same time while keeping your phone tucked away in your pocket.
These smart glasses have two built-in 5MP cameras plus an audio array with three microphones, allowing you to take hands-free photos and videos, as well as make and receive calls. According to Meta, people use Ray-Ban Stories for all kinds of things, including skydiving, capturing clips from music festivals, and sharing their travels.
Now, the company is not only making the glasses available to more people, but is also improving functionality.
For starters, you will now be able to take more videos. Previously, Ray-Ban stories were limited to recording 30 seconds of footage. In April, Meta says you’ll be able to record twice (60 seconds) by changing the settings of the Facebook View app.
At the same time, the updates will mean that users will also be able to use voice commands in French and Italian.
The April launch will also see an option for more color schemes. So you will have more options. This will include a circular glossy black with gray transitions, a circular glossy black with brown transitions, a matte Wayfarer black with gray transitions, and a metallic Wayfarer black with brown transitions. This will bring the total to 28 species to choose from.
