As well as the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, the leaked video also reveals the design of the rumored Oakley Meta Sphaera glasses with a centered camera.
If you haven't seen yet, Meta briefly posted and removed an unlisted video on its YouTube channel revealing that its long-rumored heads-up display (HUD) glasses with sEMG wristband will in fact be Ray-Ban branded, and depicting the HUD and wristband in action.

But the Ray-Ban HUD glasses are not the only new product seen in the video. It also clearly shows the rumored Oakley Meta Sphaera glasses.
The Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the recently-launched Oakley Meta HSTN glasses, and the upcoming Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses all have their camera on one of the temples, capturing a slightly off-center perspective.
The Oakley segment in the video.
For months now, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has reported that Meta and EssilorLuxottica are also working on smart glasses with a camera in the center, leveraging Oakley's Sphaera design. A centered camera would be ideal for first-person footage, and the product will be marketed towards "cyclists and other athletes", Gurman said.
Clips from the leaked Meta video clearly show the Oakley Meta Sphaera design, and depict it being used to capture centered footage of skiing and running.
To be clear, the Oakley Meta Sphaera glasses almost certainly do not have a display. Like the regular Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN glasses, they should have a camera, speakers, and microphones.
