Link: Meta’s next smart glasses may be with Oakley

Meta is reportedly launching new Oakley-branded smart glasses, named "Supernova 2", aimed at athletes later this year.

The design will notably shift the camera to the center of the frame to appeal more to cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts.

These glasses are expected to feature enhancements suitable for sports, differing from the Ray-Ban Meta glasses which are designed for casual, everyday use.

Oakley, like Ray-Ban, operates under the eyewear conglomerate EssilorLuxottica, highlighting Meta's strategy to expand its tech through EssilorLuxottica's brand portfolio.

Challenges such as optimizing weight, sweat resistance, and battery life will need to be addressed to meet athletic demands.

Additionally, Meta is planning a high-end version of its Ray-Ban glasses that will include displays for notifications and running simple apps. #
