JAKARTA Meta will reportedly launch the latest smart glasses from the Oakley brand this year. These glasses were developed based on the Sphaera model, specifically designed for cyclists and athletes, with technology similar to Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses that had already been on the market.

Like Ray-Ban glasses, Oakley's smart glasses are also the result of Meta's collaboration with Luxottica, the parent company of both brands. According to reports, this latest model will be named Supernova 2 and put the camera in the middle of the frame to provide a more optimal point of view for users.

Meanwhile, Meta is also developing smart glasses with a screen feature planned to launch in the second half of 2025. These glasses will be a more sophisticated version of the existing model. With the code name Hypernova, this device will have a small screen at the bottom of the right lens, which can display notifications or information from Meta's virtual assistant.

According to Bloomberg, smart glasses with this screen will be priced at around US$1,000 (Rp. 16.2 million), much higher than the current version of the US$299 initial price for Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Meta calls this development a step to bring light computing devices that could be a major alternative to smartphones in the future.

With this move, Meta not only expands its smart glasses technology to other brands, but also seeks to lead a smart device market that integrates AI for daily use.

If this report is true, consumers can look forward to new smart glasses with a variety of features and designs in the near future.
