Smart glasses, many with components made in China, are emerging as an up-and-coming category as the fall consumer technology product season gets underway.
Snap has revealed augmented reality glasses ; Meta is expected to do so at its own event starting Sept. 25.
The Facebook-parent's Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are already seeing traction, HSBC's Frank He, head of technology hardware research for mainland Chinese stocks, pointed out in a report earlier this month.
The roughly $300 Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses allow users to take pictures, short video clips, listen to music and interact with Meta's AI features, according to promotional materials.
For the year through July, the optical company's non-smartphone camera module shipments surged about 61%, which HSBC attributes to "brisk sales" of Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses.
