Google, Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker launched smartglasses powered by the Gemini AI model. The new devices feature a 12 MP wide-angle camera and open-ear speakers for audio output. Users can interact with the AI through voice commands or a touch-sensitive frame on the glasses.
The glasses include a recording light that activates whenever the camera is in use. Google has explicitly stated that live streaming video to social media is not permitted. The company claims that no captured images or videos will be used for AI training or advertising. The devices require a Pixel 7+, Samsung Galaxy S/Z series, or iPhone 13 Pro+.
Gentle Monster and Warby Parker offer different frame styles and pricing tiers to suit various tastes. Google is developing a Private AI Compute system to isolate data during processing to protect user privacy. You should consider these privacy controls if you plan to use AI features with your personal data on wearable devices.
