Samsung and Google unveil AI smart glasses with fashion brands

Samsung and Google unveil AI smart glasses with fashion brands
Wearable intelligence - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

Two big technology companies, Samsung and Google, are making a new kind of eyeglasses that are smart.

The glasses look like normal glasses, but they can help people with things like directions, translations, and messages.

Samsung and Google worked with two famous glasses brands, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, to make them look nice.

People will be able to get them later this year, though the glasses do not have an official name yet.

The glasses use Google's voice helper, called Gemini, to talk with the wearer.

They can show a person where to find a coffee shop or add events to a calendar.

They can even translate words on signs or menus.

A little light turns on whenever the glasses are recording a video, so people know.

Samsung says the hardest part was making glasses that people would actually want to wear.

Quotes

James Choi

Corporate EVP and head of XR R&D at Samsung Electronics

“The biggest challenge for AI glasses is not AI itself. For AI glasses to become truly mainstream, they cannot simply be smart — they must be something people actually want to wear.”
