FBI : Shamsud-Din Jabbar was wearing smart glasses that allowed him to take photos without using his hands.

"Everything he does with the glasses you could do with a cellphone, but it does give you cover," expert says.

The $ 300 Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses contain speakers that allow users to talk on the phone and communicate with their phone's voice-activated digital assistant, such as Siri for iPhones .

Meta glasses can provide law enforcement with a wealth of information in investigating crimes such as the New Orleans attack, experts say.

The FBI has likely already served Meta with a communications data warrant, expert says.

"It will be used by bad guys without a doubt," expert John Lucich says.
