Essilorluxottica, one of the global leaders in the production of eye lenses and sunglasses, as well as the strategic partner of Meta in the developme of smart glasses, believes that smartphones will soon be replaced with artificial ielligence glasses.
In an ierview with Bloomberg, Francesco Milri, CEO and CEO of Essilorluxottica, predicted a bold claim that in the near future hundreds of millions of smart glasses would be linked to each other and the people they use. He also announced that the company is increasing its production capacity for smart glasses to 5 million units a year by the end of the year to respond to the demand of Meta and other partners, including for its NUance Audio audio glasses, which have hearing aid technology. This futuristic perspective reflects a change in great paradigm in the world of wearable technologies.
However, there seems to be a big gap between these aspirations and the realities of the market. Barclays analysts have predicted that cooperation with Meta could generate an income of more than € 5 billion for Essilorluxottica by the year, as well as estimating that the total annual supply of smart glasses will reach 5 million. But these figures are insignifica compared to the global smartphone market.
Apple, for example, sold 5 million iPhone devices alone in year 2. This statistical difference shows that although smart glasses have the poteial to become a domina technology media in everyday life, demand will not make such a big change in the near future given the curre trends.
Meta is currely leading its innovative products in the field of smart glasses, and has even forced Apple to stop working on the advanced version of its Vision Pro headset and focus on developing artificial ielligence -equipped smart glasses. Meta has recely unveiled the new Ray-Ban Display smart glasses that have high resolution ierior display to read the video watching the video watch and live translation.
This display with a brightness of both indoor and outdoor performance. The corol ierface of these glasses is called the Meta Neural Band, which allows users to corol the brain and hand electrogramming signals by using hand movemes and detecting electrogramming signals. These glasses are available for $ 2 and represe the significa progress of Meta in this competitive area.
