Samsung details features of its smart glasses to rival Meta
Samsung has unveiled new features for its upcoming smart glasses, including integrated cameras, gesture controls, and AI-powered summarization tools. The device is designed to compete directly with Meta's smart glasses market dominance.
Why it matters
Samsung's entry into the smart glasses market signals an intensifying competition in wearable technology and augmented reality hardware.
Samsung on Wednesday detailed the features of its upcoming smart glasses, including gesture controls, as it looks to mount its first challenge to Meta in the device category.
The South Korean tech giant had previously unveiled the "intelligent eyewear" at Google I/O conference in May, showing off two products designed with its partners Gentle Monster and Warby Parker . At the time, Samsung gave very few details about the design and functionality.
At Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event on Wednesday, the company said the glasses have a built-in camera, as CNBC first reported earlier this year . The camera can capture content that the user is seeing such as taking a video. It can also read content on a whiteboard or presentation and organize the key information into notes.
