Meta and Ray-Ban Extend Partnership for Smart Glasses Development

The collaboration aims to create multi-generational smart eyewear products through a new long-term agreement.

Meta and EssilorLuxottica, Ray-Ban's parent company, have extended their partnership to continue developing smart glasses into the next decade.
The partnership, which began in 2019, has already produced two generations of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, with the latest version launched in late 2023.
The smart glasses enable users to make phone calls, capture photos and videos, listen to music, and livestream content to social media platforms.
Meta's CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized the potential to make glasses a major technology platform while maintaining their fashionable appeal.
The latest models feature enhanced AI capabilities, including real-time object recognition and translations, and have seen increased sales compared to earlier versions.
