Meta is reportedly developing Oakley smart glasses designed for athletes, with a camera positioned closer to the center of the frame for improved capture. The new glasses are expected to launch later this year and will feature AI tools, allowing users to take photos and videos, interact via voice commands, and access notifications from Meta’s smart assistant.
The company is also working on more advanced smart glasses, codenamed “Hypernova,” which will include a built-in display to show notifications. This model may offer temple controls on the frame and come with a wrist strap for additional control options. Additionally, Meta is considering launching new wearable devices, including watches and earbuds with built-in cameras that analyze the surrounding environment in real time.
The move aims to strengthen Meta’s position in AI and augmented reality, as the company has invested heavily in these areas despite lagging consumer adoption. Oakley smart glasses will be part of Luxottica’s eyewear portfolio, which also includes Ray-Ban, suggesting potential future expansion into other high-end fashion brands.
