Who makes smart glasses? The companies behind them, by type

1. Who makes smart glasses depends on which kind you mean

No single company makes all smart glasses, and the maker you are looking for changes with the type. The products sold under the name fall into a few groups, and most of the companies below sit mainly in one of them:

• AI glasses.Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta page calls its product “AI glasses”, and its AI glasses page lists Meta Glasses, Oakley Meta and Meta Ray-Ban Display under one heading. OXIVUE’s frames, which put a camera, open-ear speakers and microphones in an everyday-looking frame paired with a phone app, sit in this group too.
• Display glasses.Text or images drawn on the lens. Even Realities’ G2 and Brilliant Labs’ Halo describe a display on their own sites, as does Rokid’s display model.
• AR glasses.XREAL’s AURA and RayNeo’s Air series are described as AR glasses on their own sites. Our smart glasses with display guide goes through the display types.
• Audio glasses.Speakers and microphones, with or without a camera: Lucyd and Solos list audio glasses on their own sites. Amazon’s Echo Frames listing is titled “Amazon Echo Frames (newest model), Smart glasses, Designed for Alexa+”. See smart audio glasses.

A fifth group, enterprise smart glasses, is where Vuzix’s home page puts its products. The AI glasses vs smart glasses guide explains how the labels overlap, and the history of smart glasses covers who built the earlier generations.

The second thing to know is that the name on the frame and the company behind the technology can differ. Meta’s blog post dated June 23, 2026 says it is introducing Meta Glasses “in partnership with EssilorLuxottica”. Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta page (checked October 31, 2026) names the Ray-Ban brand but does not name a company that manufactures the hardware. Below we quote each maker’s own wording rather than fill that gap ourselves.

2. The directory: twelve makers and their example products

The table lists twelve entries a shopper in the US may come across, with one or more example products as each maker’s own pages name them (checked October 31, 2026). It is a selection, not a ranking by sales, and it leaves out many other brands. We left prices out of the table because they change often; where a price appears later in this guide it comes from the maker’s own page and is dated.

Every row except OXIVUE comes from pages published by the company named in it (the Amazon row from an amazon.com listing), read on October 31, 2026; Samsung’s own pages were not read. Where a page did not describe something, such as a camera, this guide says so instead of assuming.

3. Meta and EssilorLuxottica: what Meta’s own pages say

Meta’s AI glasses page (checked October 31, 2026) lists four lines: Meta Glasses, Ray-Ban Meta, Oakley Meta and Meta Ray-Ban Display. Its Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 3) page says “Starting at $449”. Meta’s blog post dated June 23, 2026 introduces the Meta Glasses line, with the Meta Adventurer, Meta Fury and Meta Glasses by Kylie styles, “starting at just $299”, and says it is introducing the line “in partnership with EssilorLuxottica”. Meta’s pages showed other starting prices when we read them, so check meta.com for current figures.

That post also says Meta “pioneered this category with EssilorLuxottica” and that the lens options are “developed by EssilorLuxottica”. It lists where the Meta Glasses line is sold: Meta.com and retailers including Lenscrafters, Sunglass Hut, Best Buy and Amazon. Neither Meta post we read (checked October 31, 2026) says which company designs or manufactures the hardware, so we do not say. If you are comparing these against other brands, see the Meta glasses competitors guide, the Oakley Meta page and Meta glasses prices.

4. Google, Samsung and Amazon

Google’s Android XR page (checked October 31, 2026) lists audio glasses as “Coming soon”, says the first collections will be launching “this fall”, and shows Gentle Monster and Warby Parker cards under a “Google | Samsung” logo. The page does not say explicitly who builds the audio glasses. It marks display glasses “Stay tuned” and lists no price for any glasses. Our Google glasses and Samsung glasses guides track what has been announced.

The same page also presents XREAL AURA, described as “all-new wired XR glasses powered by Android”, with a “Buy now” link. Amazon’s listing is titled “Amazon Echo Frames (newest model), Smart glasses, Designed for Alexa+”. The part of that listing we could read (checked October 31, 2026) does not describe a camera, a display, a price or availability, so check the listing itself.

5. Display, AR and enterprise glasses: XREAL, Even Realities, Rokid, RayNeo, Brilliant Labs, Vuzix

XREAL’s home page (checked October 31, 2026) lists XREAL One Pro, XREAL 1S, XREAL Eye, XREAL Beam Pro and XREAL AURA, and says optical see-through AR “adds digital content to the world in front of you”. It shows no prices and points to an authorized-retailer link and its own shop. Even Realitiessells the Even G2, which it calls “the everyday display smart glasses” with a “3D heads-up display”, and the Even R1 ring; its home page (checked October 31, 2026) does not describe a camera or speakers and shows no price.

Rokidlists two AI-glasses products side by side: “Rokid Glasses (With Display)” and “Rokid Ai Glasses Style (Non-Display)”, plus AR glasses such as the Max 2. We quote no Rokid price, because store prices change, so check its page for the current figure. RayNeosells through its own storefronts; on rayneo.com (checked October 31, 2026) the Air 3s AR glasses were listed at $269.00, the X3 Pro AI+AR glasses at $1,299.00 and the RayNeo iO smart glasses “From $499.00”.

Brilliant Labssells Halo, which its home page (checked October 31, 2026) describes as “Glasses with advanced all-day memory” with a “Micro Color OLED display” and an “Open source” section covering hardware and software; the page text does not mention a camera, and its visible text does not name the earlier Frame. Vuzix’s home page (checked October 31, 2026) presents LX1 and M400 smart glasses and OEM waveguide optics for “warehouse, field service, healthcare, and industrial use cases”, with no prices shown. Our Brilliant Labs and Vuzix guides go further on each.

6. Audio and camera-glasses brands: Lucyd and Solos

Lucyd’s site (checked October 31, 2026) lists Lucyd Aero, Armor and Lyte, plus Reebok-branded Sport and Optical lines, and its FAQ says Lyte, Armor and both Reebok lines are camera-free; the Aero is marked “No camera”. It also lists the HTC VIVE Eagle as camera glasses and calls it “a Lucyd Partner product sold with HTC”. Its footer calls Lucyd “a Nasdaq company”, and its news section carries press-release headlines from Innovative Eyewear, Inc. The “Available at” section names Walmart, FYidoctors, Visique and Solis Optics. Our Lucyd alternatives and OXIVUE vs Lucyd guides go further.

Solos(solosglasses.com, checked October 31, 2026) groups its AirGo V2 and AirGo V under “Vision Smartglasses” and its AirGo A5 and AirGo 3 under “Audio Smartglasses”. The “10 hours of music streaming or 7 hours of phone call” operation time on its page is listed under the AirGo V2 collection. Its best-seller cards were marked “Unavailable” when we read the page, so confirm stock before planning around one. See Solos AirGo alternatives.

7. Where OXIVUE fits

OXIVUE sells four camera-and-audio frames on oxivue.com and publishes this page, so weigh our row accordingly. For “who makes it”, the accurate answer here is that OXIVUE is the brand that sells and supports the frames, with a 2-year limited warranty on the frames; we have not published factory details, so we state none.

The M02C is $109 at checkout: a Sony IMX219 8 MP camera with dual stabilisation, IP65 (dust and water jets, not immersion), about 41 g, a voice-activated visual assistant and magnetic charging. The M08 is $99 at checkout: an 8 MP camera at about 42 g with no published water rating. Both are rated 7 hours listening and 4 hours of calls, and translate 40+ languages through the free companion app. Capture starts only with a visible touch on the temple, so ask before recording people.

What they do not have: a display, prescription lenses, or Meta AI. If any of those is the reason you are shopping, the makers above are the right place to look.

8. Checking who is behind a pair before you buy

• Who sells and supports it.The brand on the frame may not be the company that answers your support email. Read the product page’s seller and warranty lines.
• What type it is.A pair listed as “smart glasses” may have a display, a camera, neither or both. Look for those words on the maker’s own page.
• What the page leaves out. Where a page does not state something you care about, such as a camera, a price or where it is made, ask the maker before ordering.
• Where you can actually buy it. Some makers sell through their own site, some through optical or electronics retailers. Our where to buy smart glasses and smart glasses cost guides help.
• Import taxes. Outside the US, import VAT or duties may be due on delivery whichever maker you buy from; with OXIVUE the recipient pays them. See our shipping policy for how we handle it.

Shipping, refunds and warranty. Free shipping from $99. US orders typically arrive in 5–9 business days. International orders take 9–14 business days after shipment. Import VAT or duties outside the US are paid by the recipient. No refunds except transit damage (replaced or refunded); faults are repaired or replaced under the 2-year warranty; change of mind and unmet expectations are not refundable. None of our frames take prescription lenses. Read the refund policy, see the warranty, or compare every model on the comparison page.
