Officials announced that pre-orders for the new AI-powered glasses, developed in collaboration between Samsung Electronics and Google, will begin later this week.
They clarified that the smart glasses, developed in partnership with the South Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster and the American brand Warby Parker, will be available for pre-order starting tomorrow, Thursday, with an official launch expected in December.
These glasses are built on Google’s Android XR platform, combining Samsung’s hardware technology with Google’s Gemini generative AI system to provide assistance through voice commands and visual recognition.
They also support real-time translation, navigation, and information search, enabling users to access these features without needing to use their smartphones.
This collaboration is expected to strengthen the presence of Samsung and Google in the AI-powered smart glasses market, which is currently dominated by Meta.
Industry data indicates that Meta currently holds more than 80% of the global smart glasses market in terms of shipments.
