Facebook is currently a relative newcomer to the field of consumer electronics development and production, but its ambitions appear to be very bold, despite some skepticism from both ordinary consumers and experts. The Reality Labs team currently has more than ten thousand employees, and it seems that Facebook intends to move even further. Among the current hardware products from Facebook's workshop are the product line of Portal devices, Oculus Quest VR headsets, and now also smart glasses that Facebook developed in cooperation with Ray-Ban. In addition, Facebook is reportedly developing another pair of glasses that should be equipped with displays for augmented reality, and a smartwatch should also emerge from Facebook's workshop.
