Multiple leaks and reports have already been released by industry leaders about Facebook’s upcoming products. According to a story from Mashable India, the new Ray-Ban smartglasses will not be a standalone device and will require an external device or monitor for it to run. The glasses are also going to have integrated displays just like other popular smart glasses such as Snapchat Spectacles and Amazon Echo spectacles. The company is currently working on the eyewear that will allow users to stay connected to the device without being distracted by the current environment. The makers are planning to collect a lot of information and data through this project for an upcoming project named Aria AR glasses. Facebook said that their "Ray-Ban glasses are completely separate from Project Aria. They will not share data." They promised to "release more information on capabilities and our data policies when we reveal the product." The Ray-Ban smart glasses are expected to get launched later this year. Apart from this, the features of the Facebook Smart Glasses and price are yet to be revealed.

Mark Zuckerberg recently spoke about Ray-Ban smartglasses during an earnings call.
