Samsung and Google's Co-Developed AI Glasses Open for Pre-Orders This Month

At a glance

Samsung Electronics and Google have made AI glasses together, and they will begin pre-orders this month. The glasses use Gemini, a generative AI, and partner with domestic and foreign eyewear brands. The move puts them into an AI glasses market where Meta is currently ahead.

Key points

1. 1

   Gentle Monster and Warby Parker will take pre-orders for the AI glasses 'Intelligent Eyewear' starting on the 12th. The official launch is planned for next month.

2. 2

   The price and the schedule for launch in Korea have not been announced yet. South Korea and the United States are mentioned as the first markets for the launch.

   The glasses use a camera and microphone to look at the surroundings. They help with real-time translation, directions, and information searches by voice. Users can also take photos without taking out their smartphone.

4. 4

   Meta accounted for 85.2% of global AI glasses shipments last year. Its shipments in the first half of this year reached 4.2 million units, up 127% from a year earlier.

As big companies enter the AI glasses market, competition is expected to heat up in earnest.
