Ray-Ban Wayfarer (Gen 2) RW4012 Smart Glasses

Ray-Ban Wayfarer (Gen 2) represents a collaboration between the heritage eyewear brand Ray-Ban and Meta (formerly Facebook). These smart glasses combine the classic aesthetic of the Wayfarer silhouette with modern technology, including a camera, open-ear audio, and voice control.

Historically, Ray-Ban was founded in the United States by Bausch & Lomb in 1936. However, the brand was sold to the Italian giant Luxottica in 1999. Following the 2018 merger between Luxottica and Essilor, the brand is now under the ultimate ownership of EssilorLuxottica, the world's largest eyewear company headquartered in Charenton-le-Pont, France. Manufacturing for Ray-Ban products typically occurs in Italy, China, and Vietnam, depending on the specific model and technology integration.
