While VR/AR headsets have yet to enjoy their center-stage moment, Meta is already banking on smart glasses as another product bound for glory. It would seem that Google may think similarly, having shown interest in purchasing a stake in the Ray-Ban parent company Essilor Luxottica with a potential view to releasing a similar AI smart glasses product to Meta's, powered by its Gemini AI model.
However, as Laptop Mag exclusively revealed yesterday, one former department lead believes Google's smart glasses goals may not be so ambitious. That same can't be said about Meta, as a resurfaced Threads post from CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier in the year may have revealed the next step in its smart glasses journey.
