Meta's expanding vision for AI smart glasses
The reported collaboration with Prada shows Meta's intention to take its AI smart glasses technology beyond EssilorLuxottica and its many brands.
This comes after the success of the Ray-Ban Meta AI smart glasses, which have sold millions of units.
Earlier this week, Meta also hinted at a partnership with another EssilorLuxottica brand, Oakley.
The Oakley smart glasses could be announced as soon as Friday and are expected to cost around $360.
