Specs appeal: Meta opens lab for AI glasses in UK
The Independent
|July 10, 2025
Facebook owner Meta has opened a new audio research lab in Cambridge as part of the tech giant’s push into AI glasses. Bosses at Meta had a meeting with chancellor Rachel Reeves yesterday as they launched the £12m facility.
The meeting came amid reports that the Facebook and Instagram owner has purchased a minority stake in Oakley and RayBan owner EssilorLuxottica SA, the world’s largest eyewear business. It is reported that the company’s stake will be worth around €3bn (£2.6bn) - just under 3 per cent of the Paris-based business.
