Samsung's first artificial intelligence glasses may launch in November
Samsung has not yet announced a sales date for its first smart glasses, Intelligent Eyewear, introduced a few months ago. However, according to recent industry information, the company's first smart glasses are expected to hit the market in November. The glasses are reported to have a price range of 349 to 499 dollars in the United States. Samsung is developing these glasses in collaboration with Google, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker. The software side will utilize Google's Android XR operating system. The device will include a camera, microphones, and speakers, while Gemini will be one of the core features of the system. Thanks to data collected from the camera and microphones, Gemini will assist users by recognizing what they see and the sounds around them.
What does Intelligent Eyewear offer? Samsung is also expected to provide various design options for Intelligent Eyewear, with multiple designs prepared by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The device is anticipated to be lighter than Ray-Ban Meta glasses by 5 grams, according to information reported by The Korea Herald. Samsung claims that its smart glasses can last up to 9 hours on a single charge in mixed use, with the charging case providing 7 additional full charges. Samsung is implementing measures against increasing privacy concerns related to smart glasses. The glasses will feature two LED status indicators to inform those nearby when the camera is active. These lights will turn on when the camera is in use.
If users attempt to turn off or cover the LED indicators, the camera will automatically be disabled. The issue of privacy has also been a topic of discussions between Samsung and authorities in South Korea. The Personal Information Protection Commission of South Korea met with the company in late July to address how to inform those nearby when the camera and microphones are active. In September, the Ministry of Science and ICT began preparing rules to prevent secret recordings with smart glasses and cheating in exams.
