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.
對 EssilorLuxottica 的投資價值約爲45億歐元（50億美元），預計將進一步加強兩家公司之間的合作伙伴關係。Ray-Ban Meta 智能眼鏡在去年推出後超過銷售預期，使 Meta 考慮與 EssilorLuxottica 合作開發更多設備。
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 智能眼鏡的第三代預計將在2025年假日季推出，將具備小屏幕顯示功能。Ray-Ban 品牌的受歡迎程度對可穿戴技術的成功至關重要，而與還擁有 LensCrafters 的 EssilorLuxottica 的合作將有助於向需要配備處方鏡片的用戶推介 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.
爲什麼它很重要：Meta 對 EssilorLuxottica 的戰略投資來之不易。可穿戴技術市場越來越具有競爭性。最近，Solos 宣佈推出由 OpenAI 的 ChatGPt 技術驅動的新款 AirGo Vision 智能眼鏡，這可能對 Meta 的產品構成重大挑戰。
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，蘋果公司（納斯達克:AAPL）據報道正在開發自己的 AR 智能眼鏡，不過可能要等到2027年才會上市。這爲 Meta 在確立其在智能眼鏡領域的優勢地位上提供了潛在的先機。
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 正在增強其 Ray-Ban Meta 智能眼鏡的功能。截至5月，用戶現在可以將直接分享至 Instagram Stories，爲 Meta 的社交媒體平台增加了新的集成層次。
