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. MetaΓÇÖs web
store has a banner with the same text used in the teaser ΓÇö "The next
evolution arrives June 20" ΓÇö 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.
