  "account": "Google has launched pre-orders for its first Android XR smart glasses, known as the Intelligent Eyewear, starting at $395. This collaboration between Google and Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker introduces a range of designs, with Warby Parker offering three styles at $395 and Gentle Monster presenting six designs at $449. The glasses come with built-in speakers, a camera, and microphones, enabling interaction with Google's AI assistant, Gemini, without the need for a built-in display. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset, the glasses are equipped with a 12MP ultra-wide camera featuring HDR processing and image stabilization. These devices allow users to take photos and videos, get real-time translations, and use voice commands for tasks like ordering coffee or booking a cab. Privacy is a key focus, with an LED indicator signaling camera activity and automatic face blurring for bystanders. Currently, the glasses are compatible with Google Pixel 7 and newer models, select Samsung Galaxy smartphones, and iPhone 13 Pro and later. Pre-orders are available for Warby Parker in the US and Canada, and Gentle Monster in the US and South Korea, with availability starting December 10.",
