Meta officially has several new pairs of smart glasses to choose from, and though they aren\u2019t groundbreaking in terms of features or hardware, they\u2019re making at least one bold choice: they\u2019re dropping Ray-Ban branding.<\/p>\n

That might not seem like a big deal on the surface, but in Meta\u2019s case, it may be a bigger one than you think. Most people (Meta likely included) would agree that its partnership with EssilorLuxottica, the originator of Ray-Bans, has been crucial to the success of its AI glasses. That\u2019s not just because designing stylish, comfortable, and functional eyewear is difficult\u2014it definitely is\u2014it\u2019s because Ray-Bans, unlike Meta, are a brand that most everyone is comfortable with.<\/p>\n

With all of those prevailing winds working against Meta, you\u2019d think Mark Zuckerberg and co. would be working to adjust their approach on smart glasses to address concerns\u2026 right? After a recent Q&A with Meta\u2019s CTO, Andrew Bosworth, I\u2019m not so sure.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m old enough to remember when there was controversy about phones having cameras, and this predates even the smartphones that we have today,\u201d Bosworth told Gizmodo in an open forum with press this week. \u201cSo, there is this social learning thing that has to happen.
