Meta Patent Shifts 2 Smart-Glasses Antennas Below Lenses, Extending Design to Night-Vision Goggles

Summary
Meta’s newly detailed patent places two wireless antennas along the lower rim of smart glasses—one under each lens—instead of the temples, and applies the layout to VR headsets, aviation goggles and night-vision goggles.
The design targets a space crunch inside head-worn devices, where cameras, processors, sensors, speakers and radios compete for room in a wearable frame.
Meta says moving antennas lower could cut interference with other components, place them farther from the wearer’s head and deliver similar wireless performance with less power.
The patent also describes matching antenna connection lengths for MIMO efficiency and hiding the hardware inside an RF-transparent over-moulded layer for protection.
Night-vision and aviation references broaden the concept beyond Meta’s current consumer smart glasses, though the filing is not a product announcement.
