AI glasses are emerging as the next frontier of wearable technology. At Meta Connect 2025, Meta and EssilorLuxottica unveiled a new lineup that blends style, comfort, and artificial intelligence. Following the success of Ray-Ban Meta and the recent Oakley Meta HSTN, the two companies are expanding their portfolio with models designed for athletes, everyday users, and even a futuristic pair with an integrated display.
The Oakley Meta Vanguard were created with athletes in mind. They feature:
A 12 MP ultra-wide camera (122° FOV) to capture every detail,
Open-ear speakers with advanced noise reduction, ideal for running or cycling,
Helmet and cap compatibility, ensuring comfort for long workouts.
They also come with an IP67 rating, meaning they withstand water, dust, snow, and extreme conditions.
With Garmin and Strava integration, athletes get real-time performance data without distraction.
Battery life is tailored for endurance:
Up to 9 hours mixed use,
Plus 36 extra hours with the charging case.
Equipped with interchangeable Oakley PRIZM lenses, wearers can adapt to different lighting while keeping a sleek look.
The Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) take the best-selling smart glasses to the next level with:
8 hours of battery life,
A 12 MP ultra-wide camera for 3K ultra-HD video,
A wider range of styles and colors.
They’re also available with prescription lenses and Transitions Gen S lenses.
Meta introduced Conversation Focus, an AI-powered feature that amplifies the voice of the person you’re talking to while reducing background noise in cafés, restaurants, and parks.
The most futuristic model, the Ray-Ban Display, integrates a color display inside the right lens. Users can discreetly view:
Incoming messages,
Photo previews,
Video calls,
AI-powered visual guidance.
The lenses are Transitions, customizable with prescription.
The Meta EMG wristband allows control via subtle hand and finger movements. This neural input technology pushes wearables beyond smartphones into a true hands-free experience.
The partnership highlights a clear strategy:
Francesco Milleri (EssilorLuxottica CEO) emphasizes seamlessly embedding cutting-edge tech into stylish eyewear.
Mark Zuckerberg (Meta CEO) sees glasses as the perfect platform to host superintelligence in the future.
This collaboration fuses optical design and global distribution with AI and software expertise, redefining the AI glasses category.
Smart eyewear is no longer a niche gadget. With:
Oakley Meta Vanguard for athletes,
Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 for lifestyle users,
Ray-Ban Display for early adopters,
Meta and EssilorLuxottica target diverse audiences. Their bet: making AI glasses as mainstream as smartphones or smartwatches.
Meta Connect 2025 marked a milestone for AI glasses. From sports performance to everyday communication and futuristic display tech, EssilorLuxottica and Meta are shaping a world where eyewear becomes a true tech platform.
The question remains: will glasses, not phones, become the gateway to AI-driven superintelligence?
