Google has introduced smart glasses with Gemini support

Google, in collaboration with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker, has announced a line of smart glasses powered by the multimodal Gemini model. The devices are positioned as personal AI assistants capable of processing visual and audio information in real time.

The base model starts at $395. As part of its marketing strategy, the company is placing a special emphasis on data privacy, aiming to distance itself from the privacy concerns associated with similar wearable devices on the market. The developers have implemented hardware recording indicators and software restrictions designed to prevent unauthorized data collection of surrounding people.

The technical implementation includes integration with the Google ecosystem of services, allowing users to receive contextual prompts and perform tasks using voice commands. The project is part of the corporation's long-term strategy to integrate Gemini into wearable form factors, taking into account past experience in developing wearable technologies.

For users, this means the emergence of an alternative to existing solutions in the smart glasses segment with deeper integration of cloud-based AI features. The devices are already available for pre-order, with the first shipments expected soon.
