The prediction is strongly confirmed by recent news. The XR market experienced a significant surge in 2025, with AI glasses shipments growing by 322%, indicating a massive wave of purchases.

Post-launch sales of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses Gen 3 are weak or in line with prior generations, with no measurable surge in retail demand or component orders.
