Meta plans to launch six new AI wearables in 2025: What you need to know

In a major push to AI wearables, Meta is planning to unveil at least half a dozen new devices this year, as per a leaked memo.

Recently, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company aims to ship millions and “eventually” billions of AI glasses in the time to time.

A leaked memo, titled “2025: The Year of Greatness,” from Meta’s Reality Labs head Andrew Bosworth was shared by Business Insider on Thursday.


In the document, Bosworth claimed that Meta was “pushing our advantage by launching half a dozen more AI powered wearables.” This memo was reportedly sent to the staff members in November last year.

But Bosworth mentioned in the memo that the company needs to "drive sales, retention, and engagement across the board but especially in MR (mixed reality).”

If all goes as planned, then the unveiling of six new AI wearables in a single calendar year would go on to break the company's hardware record.

Recent launches

Meta last year introduced the revamped version of its Ray-Ban Meta glasses as well as the Meta Quest 3S.

During a fourth-quarter earnings call of the company, Zuckerberg had even teased about the “third-generation” smart glasses technology.

If rumours are to be believed, the company is currently working on a pair of Oakley-styled AR glasses, which are being specifically designed for athletes.

The glasses are said to being developed with internally dubbed Hypernova and heads-up display.

According to Gizmodo, the other products from Meta could focus on different glasses styles, similar to the Ray-Ban smart glasses, which are available in varities like “Wayfarer,” “Headliner,” and “Skyler”.

Horizon Worlds

In the memo, Meta indicates that it will still push the metaverse, which includes Horizon Worlds.

“Horizon Worlds on mobile absolutely has to break out for our long term plans to have a chance,” Bosworth stated.

He went on to add that Horizon Worlds could “go down as the work of visionaries or a legendary misadventure.”
