【Dear Utol (2025): Doctor, Doctor I'm Sick Episode 41】

Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses are Dear Utol (2025): Doctor, Doctor I'm Sick Episode 41getting some competition from Meta itself. The company is apparently collaborating with Oakley on a pair of new smart glasses, due to launch on Friday, June 20.

Oakley teased the launch on Monday, with a video that displays the two companies' logos, and a caption that reads: "The next evolution is coming on June 20."

Oakley also shared the same video on Instagram, with a notable nod by Ray-Ban Meta's official account.

This isn't about Meta jumping ship and working with an entirely different company. Both the Oakley and Ray-Ban brands are owned by Italian eyewear mega-company Luxottica.

Given that Oakley is better known for sports glasses, while Ray-Ban mostly sells fashion eyewear, we're probably getting a sportier version of Ray-Ban Meta on Friday, this time with the Oakley brand attached.
