News Summary

Meta, led by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, announced a significant milestone in the wearable technology sector with its Ray-Ban smart glasses reaching over 1 million units sold in 2024. The sales figures were disclosed during an internal meeting, marking the first time the company publicly shared such data. The glasses, developed in collaboration with Ray-Ban owner Essilor Luxottica, have positioned Meta as a leader in the smart glasses market, a sector that has struggled to gain traction in the past. With competitors like Qualcomm, Google, and Samsung gearing up to enter the market, Meta plans to capitalize on its current lead and aims to double or even quintuple its sales this year. The company is also working on new versions, including a pair designed with Oakley for athletes and a premium version featuring a heads-up display.
