Ray-Ban Meta with AI outsells the previous model, according to the CEO of Essilor Luxxotica

According to the chief executive of the lens manufacturer, Meta and Essilor Luxottica, sales of their new generation of smart glasses had exceeded those of their prior models in just a few months.

When the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses were released in October of last year, users could broadcast live to their Facebook and Instagram followers via the spectacles. Meta AI is a feature of the smart glasses that allows it to provide commentary on anything the user is looking at.

According to reports, the initial iteration of the smart glasses, which were developed in conjunction with Essilor Luxottica and Meta, had trouble finding a home with customers.
