Meta platforms plans to test an AI powered pendant next year as it expands its wearable technology business.
According to a report, the company also wants to grow its AI glasses lineup and launch a new service called "Wearables for Work." These plans form part of Meta's broader strategy to strengthen its hardware division and increase wearable device sales.
Alex Himel, Meta's vice president of wearable’s, outlined the roadmap in an internal memo. Although Meta did not comment on the report, the company continues to invest heavily in wearable technology.

As a result, Meta continues to increase its focus on AI powered devices that can support everyday tasks.

Meta already works with eyewear company Essilor-Luxottica to produce smart glasses under the Ray-Ban and Oakley brands. These devices combine traditional eyewear with artificial intelligence features. Furthermore, they play an important role in Meta's long term wearable technology strategy.
Last year, Meta acquired AI wearable’s startup limitless. The company developed a pendant-style device that can record and transcribe real-world conversations.
Therefore, the acquisition helped Meta accelerate its efforts to create the next generation of AI powered wearable products. With new devices and services in development, Meta continues to push deeper into the growing wearable technology market.
