Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, made its smart glasses a central presence at this year's Connect conference, according to TechCrunch.
The report described the glasses as part of an ever-growing product line meant to keep consumers connected to the digital world through wearable hardware rather than solely through phones or headsets.
A wearables-first push
TechCrunch's report did not detail specific new models, pricing, or release dates announced at the event, nor did it specify sales figures for Meta's existing smart glasses products.
The report did not include reaction from analysts or competitors on Meta's wearables strategy. Further details on other announcements made at Connect were not included in the available report.
