Facebook wants to put smart glasses on your face

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said Wednesday the social network plans to release its first pair of 

smart glasses next year.

The company has partnered with EssilorLuxottica, which owns eyewear brands including Ray-Ban, to

 support different designs and styles for the upcoming glasses. The glasses will bear the Ray-Ban brand.

"I can't go into full product details yet, but they're gonna be the next step on the road to augmented reality 

glasses, and they look pretty good too," Zuckerberg said at Facebook Connect, the company's virtual 

reality and augmented reality conference. The event used to be known as Oculus Connect.

Facebook also unveiled a new version of its Oculus Quest VR headset with an upgraded processor and

 higher-resolution display. The new headset, called the Oculus Quest 2, has a price tag of $299, which is 

$100 cheaper than its predecessor.
