Meta Platforms is expanding its wearable technology lineup by collaborating with Oakley to develop smart glasses aimed at athletes. These Oakley-branded spectacles, expected to be released in 2025, are part of Meta’s broader strategy to incorporate AI-powered features in wearable devices. The smart glasses, internally referred to as ‘Supernova 2’, will be based on Oakley’s Sphaera design, featuring a centrally positioned camera. This initiative is part of Meta’s efforts to capitalize on the popularity of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and to tap into Oakley’s established following among athletes such as cyclists, runners, and rowers. Additionally, Meta is exploring other AI-driven devices, including camera-equipped earbuds and smartwatches, as it seeks to enhance its presence in the wearable tech market.
