Move over Ray-Ban, Oakley Meta glasses are arriving this Friday
Oakley TL;DR The Oakley Meta glasses are set to arrive on June 20. The smart glasses will be similar in functionality to the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses and are expected to be geared toward athletes. While Meta is also working on more advanced smart glasses with built-in displays, this Oakley-branded version is expected to skip the display. Oakley and Meta have announced that 'The next evolution is coming on June 20.' This strongly suggests that the two brands are finally ready to unveil the long-awaited and much-rumored successor to the Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses. Both Oakley and Meta have begun teasing the upcoming release on their social media channels. Meta has also launched a sign-up page for those who want to be notified as soon as the glasses are officially released. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Oakley | Meta (@oakleymeta) Although the companies haven't revealed details about the design, specs, or features of the new glasses, their collaboration was previously leaked via Bloomberg. Reportedly codenamed Supernova 2, the new smart glasses will likely offer similar functionality to the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses. While Meta is also working on more advanced smart glasses with built-in displays, this Oakley-branded version is expected to skip the screens. Instead, the Oakley Meta glasses are expected to be geared toward athletes and are said to be based on the Oakley Sphaera model (pictured above). Notably, the design of the new glasses could include a centrally positioned camera instead of the side-mounted style we saw on the Ray-Bans. This change is meant to enhance usability for cyclists and other athletes. Since major hardware upgrades aren't expected, the Oakley Meta glasses will likely be priced similarly to the current Ray-Ban Meta Glasses, starting at approximately $299. Fortunately, we don't have to wait much longer to see exactly what Oakley and Meta have been working on.

Meta and Oakley tease a smart glasses announcement for June 20
Reports emerged earlier this year that Meta was working with Oakley on smart glasses and it seems we're about to see the fruits of those labors. A new Instagram account called @oakleymeta has popped up and its first post teased an announcement for this Friday (June 20). Instagram's own official account and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg shared the clip on their stories, as did Oakley on its social channels, so this is legit. The end of the video shows the Oakley and Meta logos side by side in a very similar fashion to the branding for the Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Meta's web store has a banner with the same text used in the teaser — "The next evolution arrives June 20" — and an option to sign up for updates on products, news and innovations. So, unless this is a bait and switch, we'll probably see Oakley Meta glasses this week. Of course, Oakley and Ray-Ban share a parent company in EssilorLuxottica. Earlier this year, Bloomberg reported that a set of smart glasses based on Oakley's Sphaera glasses was on the way. The camera in the Ray-Ban Meta glasses is set in one of the sides of the frame, but it's expected to be in the centre of the Oakley Meta glasses. These new smart glasses are said to be aimed at cyclists and other athletes, perhaps to try and challenge GoPro in the action sports market.
