Preorders for AI-powered smart glasses created by Samsung Electronics and Google will commence later this week, according to industry sources. The Intelligent Eyewear, a joint venture between Korean eyewear company Gentle Monster and U.S.-based Warby Parker, will be available for pre-order commencing Thursday, with a formal launch anticipated in December.
Powered by Google's Android XR platform, these glasses merge Samsung's hardware capabilities with Google's Gemini generative AI system to offer hands-free assistance via voice commands and visual recognition. The glasses feature an integrated camera that can identify objects and surroundings in the user's line of sight, delivering pertinent information.
They also support real-time translation, navigation, and information searches, enabling users to utilize these features without needing to retrieve their smartphones. This partnership aims to bolster Samsung and Google's footprint in the burgeoning AI-powered eyewear sector, which is currently led by Meta Platforms.
