Meta Platforms’ (META) AI glasses efforts in partnership with EssilorLuxottica (ESLOY) have brought the company a lot of success. The emergence of generative AI has meant that what was once a capital-intensive experiment is now a commercially viable business. This much was clear when, in May, Alphabet’s (GOOG) (GOOGL) Google committed $150 million to Warby Parker (WRBY), a popular eyewear company. Investors could foresee what the search engine giant was trying to do, and if anyone was in any doubt, the recent announcement should help remove that.
Earlier this week, Google announced that it was set to launch its first AI glasses next year. It is collaborating with Samsung (SMSN.L.EB) and Gentle Monster, in addition to Warby Parker, as already mentioned above.
