In a blink-and-you-missed-it month, Google teased what seems to be its nearest Subtle Glasses undertaking, one it can be construction with the aid of Samsung and, in all probability, even Qualcomm.
You’ll be able to be forgiven for no longer placing on till the very finish of Google I/O’s three-hour keynote to peer a Gemini AI promotional video that cruised thru most of the main bulletins. It used to be a dozen to digest however squeezed within the entire clips used to be a glimpse at a couple of glasses that have been virtually unmistakably impish.
There are already rumors that Google and Samsung are running on an XR/VR headset, however smartglasses like those, which might more than likely depend on Qualcomm’s a lot smaller and extra environment friendly Snapdragon AR2 chip, appear believable, as smartly.
Within the video (see the GIF beneath), anyone picked up a beefy-looking pair of black-frame glasses. Era we by no means see them on any person’s face, it’s adopted by way of what seems to be anyone’s viewpoint during the lenses.
The wearer asks what they’re searching at, which seems to be a drawing on a whiteboard of a couple of cats: one alive and one useless. The AI replies in tonality and with textual content we will see in entrance people: “Schrödinger’s cat.”
Clearly, we don’t know if the optic is actual and if Google in reality intends in order impish glasses with integrated AR presentations. That’s no longer one thing we’re perceptible from competition like Meta (Ray-Bay Meta Wayfarers) and Amazon (Amazon Echo Frames).

Even so, Google has a lavish historical past in AR glasses. Google Glass (RIP) featured a petite heads-up show designed to overlay your actual global. The show used to be too petite, and everybody who wore them appeared ridiculous, however that generation is now a decade worn. It’s 2024, and there are unutilized probabilities for chips, AR, microdisplays, and the AI that may aid energy them.
After all, that’s the important thing to Google Subtle Glass’ possible luck: built-in Gemini AI (like Gemini Nano) that may form them way more helpful than Google Glass ever used to be.
We don’t know anything else greater than what the ones few seconds of video let us know. Possibly we’ll have the total tale the following day when Google launches Google I/O Keynote: The Go back.
