Meta Oakley Smart Glasses May Launch This Week: Here's What We Know

A few months back, speculation circulated that Meta was developing a sportier design for its smart glasses.

These speculations appear to be accurate, as a Meta-Oakley collaboration is officially expected to be introduced imminently.

Confirmation of the upcoming glasses came today through a newly created 'Oakley Meta' profile.

The profile follows accounts for Meta, Oakley, Mark Zuckerberg, amongst others, indicating the anticipated launch.

Partnership Background and Sneak Peek

Owned by EssilorLuxottica, Oakley joins Meta's earlier collaboration with another brand under the same company, Ray-Ban.

Currently, the OakleyMeta Instagram account hosts a single intriguing post.

The post features a dynamic blend of the Oakley and Meta logos with the caption emphasizing collective achievement.

The post suggests a potential announcement or launch date set for Friday, June 20.

Target Audience and Features

Though specifics about the glasses remain undisclosed, they are supposedly aimed at athletes, possibly launching this year.

It is rumored that unlike the Ray-Ban models which have side-mounted cameras, Oakley's version will feature a centrally-placed camera, ideal for sports recording.

Price and Further Developments

Pricing details are still under wraps. For context, Ray-Ban smart glasses retail from $240 to $300.

Reports also mention a third-generation model in the making with advanced display capabilities, though further details are awaited.
