The company stated that it is working on two types of devices: one with built-in screens (for augmented reality and visual display), and the other with a focus on audio functions.
The first AI glasses, developed in collaboration with partners including Samsung Electronics Co., Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster, will hit the market "sometime in 2026," according to a company blog post.
The glasses will be powered by the Gemini AI model, connect wirelessly to a smartphone, and rely on it for processing complex queries. This will allow the devices to remain thin and light.
