HTC challenges Meta for the US smart glasses market with Vive Eagle
HTC Vive Eagle smart glasses come to the US with some smart privacy controls.
HTC, the company best known for its smartphones, is stepping into the US smart glasses market with its Vive Eagle wearable. Introduced last year, the Vive Eagle is now set to launch in the United States in September, according to the latest details from HTC. These smart glasses boast a 12MP camera, customizable AI assistance from either OpenAI or Google's Gemini, and convenient on-the-go charging capabilities. Pricing starts at $499 for standard or tinted lenses, or $599 for photochromic lenses.
HTC's foray into smart glasses comes after its departure from the smartphone industry. Despite no longer being in the phone business, HTC has found new avenues for growth, as evidenced by the success of its VR platform, the HTC Vive. Earlier this year, rumors suggested HTC was planning to expand the Vive line into smart glasses, and those plans have materialized. Today, we have the complete rundown on the Vive Eagle's debut, which is poised to compete with smart glasses from Meta.
