The FBI says Shamsud-Din Jabbar recorded video with the glasses as he cycled through the French Quarter and plotted the attack.

Jabbar also wore the glasses, which are capable of livestreaming, during the attack, but did not activate them.

The glasses, made in partnership with Ray-Ban , are frames with a built-in camera, speakers and artificial intelligence.
