Meta wears Prada? Why its next-gen AR glasses may be even more fashionable than Ray-Bans


Reports point to Meta launching two new pairs of smart glasses at its Meta Connect event on Sept. 17. And there may be another unexpected wearable device as well.

There are reports that Meta will also launch a new line of AR smart glasses that have a display and that it will partner with a different EssilorLuxotica brand: Prada. Meta reportedly acquired a 3% stake in EssilorLuxotica in June to officially extend and expand the partnership -- and presumably freeze out other tech brands from making similar deals with them. In fact, these might even be thicker than Ray-Bans, which would provide extra room for Meta to pack in the latest technologies needed to run cameras, speakers, AI-powered chips, and a color display.
