The XR Glasses Market is Rapidly Evolving with New Technologies

• Meta presented new VR headset prototypes at SIGGRAPH 2025
• Ray-Ban Meta sales sharply increased, despite a drop in Quest sales
• Google confirms that new AI features do not negatively impact the traffic of new sites

In 2025, the XR glasses market continues to rapidly develop based on new technological advancements. Significant changes are being observed across all major companies operating in this field.

Meta has introduced several new VR headset prototypes at the SIGGRAPH 2025 conference, including models named "Tiramisu" and "Boba 3". The Tiramisu headsets demonstrate high contrast and clarity of images, but they are bulkier than their predecessors. Meanwhile, the Boba 3 models have a significantly wider field of view, which enhances their human-like perception.

Additionally, Meta continues to develop the Ray-Ban smart glasses line, which has seen significant sales growth. In the second quarter of 2025, the company earned $370 million, thanks to the successful sales of these glasses.

On the XR glasses development front, Google states that its new AI features do not negatively impact the traffic of new sites, although publishers confirm the opposite. This creates a notable divide within the company, which is based on referral traffic.

Overall, 2025 is expected to be a landmark year in the XR sector, especially as major players like Apple, Google, and Valve also plan to introduce new devices, which intensifies the growing competition in the smart glasses segment.
