EssilorLuxottica : Facebook and EssilorLuxottica Announce Collaboration for Smart Glasses

Facebook and EssilorLuxottica Announce
Collaboration for Smart Glasses

Menlo Park, California, and Charenton-le-Pont, France (September 16, 2020 – 7:15 pm CEST) – Facebook, Inc. and EssilorLuxottica today announced a multiyear collaboration to develop the next generation of smart glasses. The announcement was made by Mark Zuckerberg during Facebook Connect, an annual conference held virtually from California.

The partnership will combine Facebook apps and technologies, Luxottica’s category leadership and iconic brands, and Essilor’s advanced lens technology to help people stay better connected to their friends and family. The first product will be branded Ray-Ban, the world’s most popular eyewear brand, and is scheduled to launch in 2021. It will combine the best of both worlds – innovative technology and fashion-forward style – to create smart glasses that consumers will truly love wearing.

We’re passionate about exploring devices that can give people better ways to connect with those closest to them. Wearables have the potential to do that. With EssilorLuxottica we have an equally ambitious partner who’ll lend their expertise and world-class brand catalogue to the first truly fashionable smart glasses,” said Andrew Bosworth, Vice President of Facebook Reality Labs.

We are paving the way for a new generation of products destined to change the way we look at the world,” commented Rocco Basilico, Chief Wearables Officer at Luxottica.

Product name, specs, software capabilities, pricing, and other details will be shared closer to launch in 2021.
