Google unveils Gemini-powered intelligent eyewear: Features, compatibility
Google has launched a new line of AI-powered smart glasses in partnership with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker. The eyewear integrates the Gemini AI assistant, allowing users to perform tasks via voice commands and capture media with a built-in camera.
Why it matters
This release marks a significant expansion of Google's AI hardware ecosystem, directly competing with Meta's smart eyewear offerings.
Google has introduced its collection of AI-powered smart glasses developed in collaboration with Samsung and eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The glasses integrate Google's Gemini AI assistant, allowing users to access information, get directions, translate conversations and perform tasks through voice commands without taking out their smartphones. Google refers to these devices as "intelligent eyewear" and the glasses will go up against Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta glasses, which also feature a screenless design. Pre-orders for the collection began on November 12 in the US, with general sales scheduled to start on December 10. The Warby Parker collection starts at $395, while Gentle Monster's collection starts at $449. Google has not announced an India launch yet.
