Report: Facebook Strikes Deal with Ray-Ban Parent Company to Design “AR glasses”

...a CNBC report contends that Facebook has struck a deal with Luxottica, the Italian parent company to Ray-Ban and many others, to help design some form of immersive wearable.

From this description, it’s unclear whether the device will function more like a proper AR headset (HoloLens, Magic Leap), which is designed to position digital imagery into physical 3D environments, or a pair of smartglasses (Google Glass, Vuzix Blade), which simply overlays useful information without integrating it into the environment as such. The report mixes both terminologies, so it’s unclear exactly which end of the spectrum the proposed device should fall on.
