Washington, September 19 (QNA) - Meta and eyewear company EssilorLuxottica announced the renewal of their partnership to collaborate on smart glasses technology.

"I'm proud of the work we've done with EssilorLuxottica so far, and I'm excited about our long term roadmap ahead. We have the opportunity to turn glasses into the next major technology platform, and make it fashionable in the process," said Mark Zuckerberg, Founder and CEO of Meta.

The collaboration between Meta and EssilorLuxottica, which began in 2019, has resulted in two generations of Ray-Ban branded smart glasses.

The renewed partnership comes as Meta is set to hold a conference next week, where it is expected to showcase a full-fledged prototype of the "Augmented Reality Glasses," as an example of the type of product it hopes to provide later.
