Mark Zuckerberg thinks AI specs will soon take off. He also said that sales of Meta smart specs (including the Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2) have tripled within the last year. There's certainly plenty of interest from tech manufacturers: Google and Samsung have smart glasses on the way, with Samsung separately confirming that its long-anticipated AR glasses are coming later this year. Apple is rumored to be working on its own pair, and earlier this week Snapchat developer Snap announced a new subsidiary called Specs to drive its future smart glasses products. The future for smart glasses looks somewhat brighter, especially with the continuing advances in AI assistants to power them.
