Facebook is doing it now. In collaboration with Ray Ban. And they have even opened brand new brick and mortar storefronts around this.
Snapchat has been doing it for years with their Spectacles products, too
Corporations really can't innovate at all, lmao
It happens all the time. People don't innovate from scratch. They take designs that work and tweak them for improvements. Eventually those improvements get repurposed for something else. The first mining truck inverter we built was just a tweaked and repurposed locomotive inverter. The last mining truck we built before handing of that product to another facility was the world's first all electric mining truck.
