Google is partnering with Warby Parker on developing smart glasses through its Android XR platform, challenging Meta's smart Ray-Bans.

Google has committed up to $75 million for Warby Parker’s product development and commercialization costs, as well as an equity investment of up to $75 million.

Warby Parker Inc. has joined forces with Alphabet Inc.’s Google to develop AI-powered glasses for all-day wear, in an attempt to take on Facebook parent Meta’s smart glasses. Warby Parker and Google said Tuesday that the first line of smart glasses is expected to launch sometime after this year and will incorporate artificial intelligence with both prescription and non-prescription lenses.
