Earlier this week, luxury eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica announced that it would extend its partnership with Meta in a long-term agreement to collaborate on the development of "multi-generational smart eyewear products."
Both companies have previously worked together to develop 2019's Ray-Ban Stories and 2023's Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. These camera-equipped smart glasses have done much to promote this form of wearable in recent years, with the latter set of frames garnering impressive mainstream approval, which surprised even Meta — with CEO Mark Zuckerberg stating that they had performed “way better than I even hoped they would.”
