Meta and Oakley tease a smart glasses announcement for June 20

Meta and Oakley are collaborating on new smart glasses, with an announcement expected this Friday. A new Instagram account, @oakleymeta, has launched, teasing the upcoming reveal. The teaser video features both the Oakley and Meta logos, hinting at a partnership akin to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Meta's website also promotes the announcement with similar wording. This collaboration follows reports of Meta working with Oakley on smart glasses earlier this year. The new glasses are likely based on Oakley's Sphaera design. A key difference is expected to be the camera placement, potentially in the center of the frame. These smart glasses are targeting the action sports market, potentially competing with GoPro. The shared parent company of Oakley and Ray-Ban is EssilorLuxottica. This collaboration suggests a push to expand Meta's presence in the smart glasses market.
