Preorders open for Samsung, Google, Gentle Monster smart glasses

Samsung and Google announced the complete range of smart glasses built in partnership with eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, announcing preorders for 30 models on Thursday. These glasses, branded as Intelligent Eyewear, rely on Google's Gemini AI, enabling users to explore their environment, engage in real-time conversations, and interact with their surroundings in a more natural way.

The glasses are compatible with both Samsung Galaxy and Apple iPhone devices. According to Google, users can activate Gemini with a simple voice command or by touching the glasses' frames to access their Google Calendar schedule or add items they are viewing to their shopping lists. Google Translate provides real-time voice translation in over 70 languages, aiding users in understanding foreign-language signs, while Gemini's Guided Vision feature offers conversational audio descriptions to assist those with visual impairments or those who require extra visual guidance in daily life. Google and Samsung showcased four models each.
