# Meta plans AI pendant, 'wearables for work' in hardware boost, The Information reports

\[BENGALURU\] Meta Platforms plans to start testing an artificial intelligence (AI) pendant in the next year, as it charts a roadmap for wearable devices in an effort to reverse losses in its hardware division, *The Information* reported on Friday (May 29), citing a memo.

Meta declined to comment to Reuters on the report.

The Facebook and Instagram owner plans to significantly expand its selection of AI glasses and add a business-focused service called “Wearables for Work” the report said, citing an internal memo by Alex Himel, Meta’s vice president of wearables.

The report comes after Meta’s hardware unit Reality Labs reported a loss of US$4.03 billion in the first quarter on revenue of just US$402 million.

Meta aims to sell 10 million wearable devices in the second half of 2026, driving sales by launching new products and selling them in more countries, *The Information* said.

It currently has partnerships with EssilorLuxottica brands Ray-Ban and Oakley to make AI-powered smart glasses.
