Meta and Oakley: New Smart Glasses

Meta is preparing to unveil smart glasses in partnership with Oakley on June 20.

Meta is likely to unveil smart glasses in partnership with Oakley on June 20. This is indicated by a teaser posted by Mark Zuckerberg on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories/zuck/

Like the current Ray-Ban Meta, the new glasses will utilize AI features, a camera, and a voice assistant. However, unlike Ray-Ban, they are aimed at athletes: the camera is centered, and the design is inspired by the Oakley Sphaera line. Bloomberg reported that Meta also plans a model with a display for notifications and apps.

Oakley and Ray-Ban are part of EssilorLuxottica, so the expansion of the lineup seems logical. Ray-Ban Meta has already sold 2 million units, and production is expected to increase to 10 million per year by 2026.
