Sensible glasses are all the craze in 2024. Amazon has its Echo Frames, Meta has its Ray-Ban sensible glasses, and plainly new manufacturers are unveiling their sensible spectacles with every new month of the yr. May Google be subsequent?
Google sneakily teased a pair of nondescript sensible glasses at its I/O occasion in Mountain View, California. Throughout an indication of its digital camera AI assistant, Gemini Stay, a video confirmed somebody asking Gemini Stay questions as they pointed their telephone digital camera round, like what neighborhood they have been in and what objects close by made sounds.
Then, the speaker requested Gemini Stay the place she final noticed her glasses. The speaker then picked up the glasses from a desk, put them on, and started to immediate the glasses with comparable questions. The sensible glasses can apparently do every thing Gemini Stay on a telephone can do.
Gemini Stay makes use of video understanding capabilities developed by Google DeepMind’s Venture Astra. Venture Astra ought to play a giant position in these undisclosed sensible glasses, however we can’t know for certain till Google particulars the system.
Sensible glasses are an AI-assisted wearable that may seize photographs and movies, play music and podcasts, and even reply your most urgent questions, all via voice prompts.
My colleague Kerry Wan wrote a glowing overview of Meta’s Ray-Ban sensible glasses, admitting that he has swapped out his prescription lenses for the AI wearable, and ZDNET’s Prakhar Khanna stated that the glasses are his favourite tech product of the yr in a latest article.
We do not know rather more about Google’s sensible glasses than what’s been pulled from this teaser, however they’re one thing we’ll undoubtedly be holding an eye fixed out for.
