Context
Ray-Ban Stories are the first-generation smart glasses made by Meta in collaboration with Ray-Ban. They feature built-in cameras, open-ear audio, and seamless social sharing. Meta also provides a companion app, Facebook View to help users set-up their glasses, import their captures and share their captures on Social Media. Currently, all users are required to use a Facebook account to sign into Facebook View app and setup their glasses.
At a high-level, a Meta account provides users with:
- More flexibility and control with managing their identity
- Better shared experiences across the Family of Apps
- Freedom to choose email & password to access Reality Lab devices
Benefit for Ray-Ban Stories Users
A Facebook account will not be required to use Ray-Ban Stories or Ray-Ban Stories v2
Facebook View will integrate into the Accounts Center ecosystem
Partnership with Virtual Reality Team
VR launched Meta Accounts in August 2022
Meta accounts are required for all users in the Oculus app
For our June launch, we agreed to allow the Meta Account experiences to diverge where appropriate
We will then unify the experiences post launch later in 2023
