Facebook and Ray-Ban are now prime players in the smart glasses space. How do their glasses compare to Spectacles 3? Let's take a closer look. The Facebook / Ray-Ban Stories smart glasses have a lot of folks talking, but how do they compare to the very similar Spectacles 3 from Snapchat? The concept of smart glasses is still relatively young in the consumer tech space, though it's a niche that's quietly growing larger and larger with each day that passes. Amazon has the Echo Frames, Xiaomi's working on its own pair, and there are rumors of Apple diving into the market as well. Among all of them, Facebook and Snapchat stand out as two of the most interesting players. Snapchat's been dabbling with smart glasses ever since 2016 when it launched the original Spectacles. It refined its smart glasses a couple of years later in 2018 with Spectacles 2, followed by the most recent Spectacles 3 which launched in August 2019. By comparison, Facebook and Ray-Ban's Stories smart glasses are one of the most recent players in the field (officially launching in September 2021). There's been a lot of anticipation around Facebooks' first foray into smart glasses, so how well do they really compare…

In late January, Elon Musk tweeted that he planned to give $100 million to promising carbon removal technologies, stirring the hopes of researchers and entrepreneurs. A few weeks later, Arin Crumley, a filmmaker who went on to develop electric skateboards, announced that a team was forming on Clubhouse, the audio app popular in Silicon Valley, to compete for a share of the Musk-funded XPrize. A group of artists, designers, and engineers assembled there and discussed a variety of possible natural and technical means of sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. As the conversations continued and a core team coalesced, they formed a company, Pull To Refresh, and eventually settled on growing giant bladder kelp in the ocean. So far, the venture’s main efforts include growing the seaweed in a tank and testing their control systems on a small fishing boat on a Northern California lake. But it’s already encouraging companies to “get in touch” if they’re interested in purchasing tons of sequestered CO2, as a way to balance out their greenhouse-gas emissions.  » Read More
