Margaret Marton, Social Media & Community Specialist

Welcome to another compilation of interesting facts from the socialmedia market.

This time from our “Socialmedia Artifacts” you will learn more about Ray-Ban Stories, Horizon Workrooms and music on InstaStories.

Smart glasses from Ray-Ban

Facebook, together with the iconic Ray-Ban brand, has launched Ray-Ban Stories, smart glasses that allow you to quickly and conveniently record special moments without a smartphone. The glasses are equipped with, among other things. into cameras and are used to take photos, record 30-second video clips, listen to music and make voice calls. These gadgets seem ideal for people who like to share their daily life on social media on a regular basis, but time will tell if they will prove to be a hit. A similar solution (Spectacles) was introduced by Snapchat some time ago, but proved to be a misfire….

Horizon Workrooms – send your avatar to work

Horizon Workrooms is a Facebook-created solution that allows you to participate in online meetings with your team, but in a different way than is offered by well-known video chat tools such as Zoom or MS Teams. Horizon Workrooms is a virtual office where we meet as avatars. This solution should appeal to people who lack a sense of space and group membership when working remotely, and those who prefer to work in their pajamas 😉
