Singapore is set to become the first market in Southeast Asia to experience the next evolution of wearable technology as EssilorLuxottica and Meta Platforms officially introduce the latest AI-powered smart glasses to the region.
SINGAPORE, 13 April 2026 - From 20 April, consumers in Singapore will be able to purchase the highly anticipated Ray‑Ban Meta Smart Glasses and Oakley Meta Smart Glasses, bringing together iconic eyewear design with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and sports performance technology.
The launch represents a major milestone for the rapidly growing AI glasses market, positioning Singapore as a key hub for wearable innovation in Southeast Asia.
Singapore Chosen as First Southeast Asia Launch Market
The expansion into Singapore follows global momentum for Meta and EssilorLuxottica’s AI glasses lineup, which has already sold millions of units worldwide.
With its reputation as one of the most technologically advanced economies in the region, Singapore provides an ideal environment to introduce next-generation AI wearables that combine connectivity, lifestyle features and sports performance tracking.
According to Denis Chng, Country Manager for Malaysia and Singapore at EssilorLuxottica:
“We are excited to expand the AI glasses category into Southeast Asia, starting with Singapore. As one of the world’s most AI-advanced economies with a thriving tech ecosystem, Singapore is well-positioned to adopt innovative technologies that can enhance daily living.”
The launch also reflects a broader push by Meta to integrate AI more closely with everyday devices. Nicole Tan, Managing Director of Meta Singapore, highlighted the shift toward more personal computing experiences:
“Every generation, computing gets closer to us — from mainframes to desktops to smartphones. Now AI meets you at eye level. Glasses are the ideal way to experience it because they understand your context in real-time.”

Reading about the launch of AI smart glasses in Singapore was really interesting because it shows how fast daily tech is changing. In one of my assignments, I used HRM Dissertation help while writing about how wearable devices can affect employee productivity and focus. I remember studying late and thinking how glasses like these could change office routines. It makes me feel future work and technology will be much more connected and hands-free.
