Samsung and Google’s Gemini smart glasses go on sale December 10
Samsung, Google and Gentle Monster have developed AI-powered smart glasses that look like ordinary eyewear.
They are designed to help people get information without taking out a phone, using a camera, microphones and speakers to respond aloud.
Gemini can translate live conversations in more than 70 languages, as well as provide directions and information about things the wearer looks at.
The glasses can also take photos and videos, and offer spoken descriptions of surroundings for people who are blind or have low vision.
The glasses last up to nine hours on one charge, and a charging case can provide additional power.
Google says recording triggers a light, stops if the light is covered, and camera images are not saved to Gemini History or used to train AI.
The glasses go on sale December 10 in the US and South Korea, with prices starting at $395 for Warby Parker frames and $449 for Gentle Monster frames in the US; the Korean report gives local prices of 650,000 to 700,000 won.
Samsung and Google’s Gemini-powered smart glasses are scheduled to go on sale on December 10.
The glasses were developed with Samsung hardware, Google’s Gemini AI and designs from Gentle Monster, with Warby Parker also offering frames.
Users can ask Gemini questions, get directions and use real-time translation without taking out a phone.
The glasses support translation across more than 70 languages and can run for up to nine hours on one charge.
Pre-orders began on November 12, according to the articles.
