The investment in EssilorLuxottica, valued at approximately 4.5 billion euros ($5 billion), is expected to further strengthen the partnership between the two companies. The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, launched last year, have exceeded sales expectations, leading Meta to consider developing more devices in collaboration with EssilorLuxottica.
对 EssilorLuxottica 的投资价值约为45亿欧元（50亿美元），预计将进一步加强两家公司之间的合作伙伴关系。Ray-Ban Meta 智能眼镜在去年推出后超过销售预期，使 Meta 考虑与 EssilorLuxottica 合作开发更多设备。
The third generation of Ray-Ban Meta glasses, anticipated to feature a small screen display, is slated for release during the 2025 holiday season. The popularity of the Ray-Ban brand is crucial for the success of wearable tech, and the partnership with EssilorLuxottica, which also owns LensCrafters, will facilitate the introduction of the Ray-Ban Meta to users requiring prescription lenses.
Ray-Ban Meta 智能眼镜的第三代预计将在2025年假日季推出，将具备小屏幕显示功能。Ray-Ban 品牌的受欢迎程度对可穿戴技术的成功至关重要，而与还拥有 LensCrafters 的 EssilorLuxottica 的合作将有助于向需要配备处方镜片的用户推介 Ray-Ban Meta。
Why It Matters: Meta's strategic investment in EssilorLuxottica comes at a crucial time. The wearable tech market is becoming increasingly competitive. Recently, Solos announced its new AirGo Vision smart glasses, powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT technology, which could pose a significant challenge to Meta's offerings.
为什么它很重要：Meta 对 EssilorLuxottica 的战略投资来之不易。可穿戴技术市场越来越具有竞争性。最近，Solos 宣布推出由 OpenAI 的 ChatGPt 技术驱动的新款 AirGo Vision 智能眼镜，这可能对 Meta 的产品构成重大挑战。
Additionally, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is reportedly developing its own AR smart glasses, although these may not hit the market until 2027. This gives Meta a potential head start in establishing its dominance in the smart glasses sector.
此外，苹果公司（纳斯达克:AAPL）据报道正在开发自己的 AR 智能眼镜，不过可能要等到2027年才会上市。这为 Meta 在确立其在智能眼镜领域的优势地位上提供了潜在的先机。
Moreover, Meta has been enhancing the functionality of its Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. As of May, users can now share directly to Instagram Stories, adding another layer of integration with Meta's social media platforms.
此外，Meta 正在增强其 Ray-Ban Meta 智能眼镜的功能。截至5月，用户现在可以将直接分享至 Instagram Stories，为 Meta 的社交媒体平台增加了新的集成层次。
