- Goal has just announced that it is associating with Oakley in something new
- Most likely, this is long -term Oakley smart glasses
- We will get more information on June 20
Oakley and goal are officially associated with something, I mean, they are smart glasses, right? – And we will discover it in just a few days on June 20, 2025.
The Meta CTO, Andrew Bosworth, turned to social networks to share a bombastic promotional video with the finish lines and Oakley.
This announcement has spent a lot of time. First we listen to that goal has been developing Oakley versions of its Ray-Ban Meta Smart glasses in January, and makes a lot of sense.
The Ray-Ban smart glasses are among the most popular goal devices, and as another EsSilorluxotic brand, Oakley, is in a privileged position to try to try in the action of smart glasses.
However, the strange thing is that goal is not doing this revelation in Connect goal in September, as it would normally. On the other hand, according to the Oakley website, “the next evolution will come on June 20”.
As for how that evolution could be, according to leaks, Oakley’s specifications will be based on their sphaera glasses. The specifications of the glasses would be similar to the current model of rays (that is, camera, without screen), but would change the camera to the center of the glasses and include characteristics to attract cyclists and athletes.
Now, technically, Meta has not specifically said that we are obtaining Smart glasses from Oakley, but given the previous leaks and that Oakley is a brand of glasses, it is almost certain that this is what we are getting.
Bringing the fight to Android XR
This may have always been the plan, but given how unusual the time is, I cannot help feeling that this is a reaction to the recent Google debut on Android XR.
Five brands are working with Google to make Android XR glasses, including Samsung, Xreal and Gentle Monster. However, until now, goal has only had a partner.
Although goal is barely on the back foot, its key advantage is that its glasses are not only available, but also dominate the space of smart glasses. And by launching its Oakley specifications sooner rather than later, Meta does not give Android XR time to breathe.
We do not expect the first Android XR specifications to begin until 2026, and that could cause problems for the new XR operating system if the space is already saturated with excellent goal specifications.
Another advantage of the launch now is that it gives the rumored rumored the rumored space of intelligent glasses project to own Connect goal.
That is, of course, its filtered smart glasses that will have a screen. According to rumors, you can see applications and notifications with a system that sounds identical to everything Google announced for its AR glasses.
Once again, although Google was the first to show next -generation consumer AR specifications, a goal is apparently scheduled to be the first conventional company to really launch a couple, with that announcement still presumably established for goal Connect 2025.
We will have to expect and see what Meta announces on June 20 and in September, but its Smart Ray-Ban glasses are still one of my favorite devices in recent years, and I am ecstatic that you are finally receiving some hardware updates.
