AI Glasses: The Next Big Trend

2024-09-03

According to reports, AI glasses are expected to become the next hot product, and almost everyone wants to own a pair of these glasses, thanks to their powerful features.


These glasses combine the features and functions of AI voice assistants, AR holographic vision, and Bluetooth headphones. According to Computer World, owning a pair of these glasses makes people feel special, as if they know everything and always have AI assistance.


AI glasses turn science fiction into reality


In the movie "Mission: Impossible - Fallout," starring Tom Cruise, his character Ethan Hunt wears enhanced AI glasses to assist him in fighting against villains.


If the plans of global tech giants come to fruition, similar devices will become part of our daily lives, as major companies are competing to dominate the AI glasses market.


According to reports, Snap Incorporated, a future eyewear manufacturer in the United States, and Meta, one of the largest investors in the metaverse, are preparing to launch AI glasses.


Although both companies are tight-lipped about the details of their products, it is expected that these products may be released in a few weeks and are expected to be bestsellers.


Meta is expected to unveil its Orion glasses at the Connect conference, which will be held from September 25th to 26th.


The website of Meta Connect conference features a photo of its founder Mark Zuckerberg wearing what appears to be Ray-Ban sunglasses, with the caption "Join Mark Zuckerberg to learn about Meta's vision for AI and the metaverse, including the latest product releases from Meta." This further fuels speculation that Zuckerberg will unveil immersive Orion glasses during his keynote speech.


Meta is not blindly entering this field; their Meta-Rayban glasses have been popular among tech enthusiasts.


A Forbes article documented the popularity of Meta-Rayban glasses and noted that these glasses significantly reduce the use of smartphones.


Asian market sets the tone for AI glasses


Snap Incorporated may release its AI glasses ahead of Meta. Industry forecasters believe that the company may unveil its fifth-generation glasses series at the Snap Partner Summit on September 17th.


An article on the Computer World website states, "Features such as a wider field of view and longer battery life may appear in limited production versions for developers (currently, the fourth-generation Spectacles are only available to developers, and Snap has never sold them to the public)."


However, in Asia, there are already some products on the market that have the features pursued by Meta and Snap.


Superhexa, a brand under Xiaomi, has Jiehuan glasses that can access large language models.


In Hong Kong, Solos has launched the AirGo smart glasses, which allow users to access ChatGPT through voice commands.


This technological race is rapidly turning future concepts from science fiction movies into reality, and AI glasses are the latest iteration of products.
