Meta is integrating Messenger into the Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses it introduced with EssilorLuxottica in September.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a Facebook post that Ray-Ban Stories users can now send messages, hear message readouts and make calls, all hands-free and all via Messenger.

Voice commands also enable people to control volume and pause or resume audio, and Zuckerberg said more updates will come next year.

Buyers can opt for Ray-Ban’s Meteor, Round or Wayfarer Frames. Ray-Ban Stories start at $299, with polarized lenses starting at $329, Transitions lenses at $379 and varied pricing for prescription lenses.
