This strongly suggests that the two brands are finally ready to reveal the long-term successor of the Ray-Ban Meta AI glasses.

According to the code name Supernova 2, the new smart glasses will probably offer features similar to the Ray-Ban meta-lunes. While Meta also works on more advanced smart glasses with integrated screens, this Oakley brand version should ignore screens.
Instead, Oakley’s meta-lunettes should be intended for athletes and are based on the Oakley Spaera model (photo above).
