1043 GMT - Google's partnership with both Warby Parker and Kering to develop artificial intelligence-powered glasses could help accelerate the adoption of smart glasses, Jefferies analysts write in a research note. EssilorLuxottica and Meta currently lead the category with the Ray-Ban smart glasses they jointly develop, the analysts say. Warby Parker is less influential than EssilorLuxottica in the industry, they say. "However, seeing established companies work on smart glasses suggests they might become mainstream soon," Jefferies adds. Shares in EssilorLuxottica are fall 0.7%. (andrea.figueras@wsj.com)
