SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 18 — While Facebook is known to be developing its own set of augmented-reality glasses, CNBC reported yesterday that the company has partnered with Luxottica, the owner of eyewear brands including Ray-Ban, Oakley, and Coach, to launch a pair of smart specs “designed to replace smartphones” as early as 2023.
Despite Snap’s Spectacles smart glasses not being notably popular among consumers, the brand’s parent company Facebook is still working hard to make such a device successful. While the company confirmed last year that it was developing its own in-house AR glasses, CNBC reported this week that it spoke with sources familiar with Facebook’s plans in order to offer us the most comprehensive update on the project to date.
According to the media, Facebook will be working with Luxottica to create AR Ray-Ban glasses “designed to replace smartphones.” As a result of this partnership, the company hopes to launch the specs, internally codenamed Orion, as early as 2023 or as late as 2025.
