Amazon is so convinced of the future of augmented reality glasses that he will put one to all his drivers

by

Amazon intends to get on to the car of augmented reality glasses With a two -step strategy: a model for consumers and another specifically designed for their distributors. And is that According to sources Near to the company, its intention would be to manufacture 100,000 units of the professional model to launch it in 2026, while the commercial version would arrive between 2026 and early 2027. The fashion device. As the medium points out The InformationAmazon would have decided to enter the market of augmented reality with two differentiated products but with the same base technology. Consumer glasses, with a “Jayhawk” key name, would include microphone, speakers, camera and a full color screen in one eye. For its part, the model for distributors, internally called “Amelia”, will have a more robust design and will be focused on showing instructions on where to deliver the packages directly on the glasses screen. There is competition. The play would place Amazon in direct competition with goal, which next week will present at its Connect conference a new version of its increased reality glasses. Goal already markets The smart Ray-Ban From 329 euros, which include its assistant to AI, audio and camera, but without screen. The new Meta S glasses, with a “Hypernova” code name, would also have a screen in a single eye, according to sources in the sector. Meanwhile, Chinese companies such as Xreal, Rokid and Rayneo already sell glasses to the public, and Google also works for similar prototypes, which We could try during the past Google I/O. Between the lines. Amazon’s decision to first develop a specific model for its workers reveals a strategy that would first go to use its own logistics infrastructure as a test bank before an alleged commercial launch. This would allow you to improve technology in a controlled environment and demonstrate specific use cases. Also, according to The informationAmazon would be using screens technology from the Chinese company Meta-Bounds, which already use brands like Meizu on their AR devices. The technical challenges. Unlike virtual reality glasses, which completely block the vision of the real world, they argue digital information about the user’s physical environment. Amazon would have opted for a screen in a single eye to reduce costs and complexity, although this makes the experience less immersive than double screen models. The consumer version will be more stylized and less voluminous than the professional model but, according to points The medium, both would share base technology. And now what. The success of this great bet will be decided by acceptance among its distributors, the battery life, the accuracy of the instructions and their software and, above all, if Amazon manages to create a user experience superior to that of the competition. The good thing is that the company has the perfect testing field to prove the technology before a massive deployment to the commercial public.

A future where we all wear smart glasses sounds good, until they are taken by the person who is going to shave the crotch

by

You meet in a beauty salon to make Brazilian hair removal and receive a very kind girl. Everything is going well until, in the middle of the work, you realize that it wears a goal, smart glasses capable of recording video. It is what happened to an influencer and his experience opens a new debate about privacy. What happened. The protagonist is Aniesta Navarro, a New York influencer who went to a beauty hall to be made by Brazilian hair removal (for whom he does not know, it consists of the elimination of the hair from the pubic area). Navarro told his experience in Tiktok and The video It already has more than seven million visualizations. In him he tells that the girl who attended her wore target glasses. When asked, the girl assured her that she used them as her graduated glasses and that at that time they were not loaded. The answer. The finish lines have a LED that lights up when they record and was off, but Navarro could not stop thinking if I would be recording, making the experience very uncomfortable. Days later he published Another video In Tiktok where he told that he had sent an email to the company and answered him with a generic message that did not give him too much confidence. As the story went viral, in response to the Washington Posta company spokeswoman insisted that the glasses were turned off. In addition, another Meta spokesman confirmed that manipulating the recording LED goes against service standards. Glasses for all. Mark Zuckerberg says that by 2030 the smartphone will have passed to the background because We will do almost everything through glasses. Although for now it is an emerging product may be right: the market is growing very fast and The success of the Ray-Ban Meta It is promising. What he does not say is what will mean from the point of view of privacy and if we are prepared as a society so that anyone who crosses wearing a camera in the eyes. Cameras everywhere. There are already, but we talk about glasses with a tiny camera that goes unnoticed. Yes, there is a LED that turns on when you record and cannot be deactivated, but there are already those who have found a way to hide it. Even if the LED works, many people do not realize that they are being recorded, as counted This journalist in The Times. It probably has to do with the fact that they are still a new product and is not normalized, but there are those who find it Intrusive and even sinister. More incidents. The Brazilian hair removal has not been the only incident with smart glasses. They count on Futurism That last year an exotic dancer warned about customers who used the Ray-Ban Meta to record the shows. A goalkeeper of a similar club published This video in which he denied the entrance to another client who also carried them. We don’t have to go so far: a few months ago They arrested a man in Barcelona for recording women without their consent using a goal.

The jokes of ordering 18,000 glasses of water have made it rethink

by

The fast food chain has installed voice assistants with artificial intelligence In more than 500 restaurantsbut the technical problems and jokes of the users are forcing the company to rethink its strategy. Two million orders later, Taco Bell Recognize that humans remain necessary. The problem in figures. Since last year, Taco Bell has deployed AI technology with a voice wizard in more than 500 locations in the United States. However, system failures have generated a wave of complaints on social networks and viral videos that show customers mocking the system. One of the cases that has circulated most in networks and demonstrates the clumsiness of the system, someone looks Ask 18,000 glasses of water. AI accepted it without problems. The challenge behind. “We are learning a lot, I will be honest with you,” admitted Dane Mathews, director of Digital Technology of Taco Bell, to Wall Street Journal. The executive himself recognizes that his experience with the system is irregular: “Like everyone, sometimes it disappoints me, but other times it really surprises me.” Employees have also begun to publish content reminding customers who can listen to when they shout at the system. The most viral failures. Tiktok is full of all the ravages that the AI ​​has caused: from staying in loop asking what the client wants to drink to Accept McDonald’s food orders and suggest competition sauces. How could it be otherwise in some cases, human workers have had to intervene to correctly complete orders, which has made doubts about the effectiveness of the system on a day to day. Change of Strategy Mounted. Mathews He has revealed that the company is reconsidering where to implement this technology. Especially in very busy restaurants with long lines, where a human employee could better manage the situation. “It is a very active conversation within Taco Bell in collaboration with our franchisees,” he explains. The company plans to help each restaurant determine when using AI and when employees are better intervened. The sector looks for its path. Taco Bell is not alone in this fight. McDonald’s canceled last year A similar experiment with IBM, although now works with Google Cloud in a new version. Another fast food chain in the United States, Wendy’s, is expanding your assistant Freshai (also based on Google technology) with the aim of reaching 500 facilities before the end of the year. It is another field in which AI begins to highlight, although these first experiences have taken us some laughs.

These glasses with AI have been designed to look like a genius. They register your environment and give you all the answers

by

Imagine carrying glasses that seem normal, but that inside offer you constant and silent help. The concept sounds intriguing: without touching anything, You can solve doubts instantlyreceive a clear explanation of something that you do not understand or have an automatic translation in the middle of a talk. A startup called Halofounded by former Harvard students, has created glasses with that idea in mind. And not only that: they promise to endow us with a “superhuman intelligence.” Beyond the marketing strategy, the approach is interesting. Glasses that listen and respond in real time Halo X do not resort to cameras to dazzle us, but bet on a different approach. They are designed for Listen to what happens around youtranscribe each conversation and show on an internal screen information that they consider relevant at that time. They do not wait for them to dislike, but try to anticipate and be useful proactively. In practice, that means that if the name of a car model arises in a talk, they can show a card with key data; If a technical term appears, promise to display a clear definition. The information operation appears in front of your eyes in less than a second. Even in everyday situations, such as speaking in another language, they should be able to real time and facilitate communication without having to do anything else. Halo talks about answers around 900 milliseconds for most consultations, while the most complex searches take about two and a half seconds. To achieve this, the glasses rely on two complementary artificial intelligence engines. Geminithe Google model, is responsible for reasoning tasks, while Perplexity It works as a contextual search engine that consults information on the web. As for the hardware, the halo X bets on the discretion. Incorporate a small type display Waveguide Visible only for the user, microphone and integrated speakers, and dispense with this version. The autonomy announced is around eight hours of continuous use. Of course, they do not process everything on their own. They depend on a connected mobile phone and an application that acts as an intermediary, where most of the calculation and consultation work really runs. The great debate point is in privacy. The system records what you listen, transcribes it and, according to the company, eliminates the audio immediately after. Halo ensures that the product will arrive with end -to -end encryption and that is working to obtain the SOC 2 certification, which would imply external audits on data management. The system records what you listen, transcribes it and, according to the company, eliminates the audio immediately after. However, they do not include any visible indicator that alerts those around you that they are being recorded, and that raises reasonable doubts. The controversy is not new: the founders They had already experienced with unauthorized facial recognition systems about Meta Ray-Banwhich generated debate about security and improper uses of technology. At the moment, Halo X are not available in stores. They can be reserved on the official website with a starting price of 249 dollars And, by selecting euros in checkout, today they appear in 223.13 euros. The company has not yet offered a specific date of shipping or confirms whether there will be official distribution in Europe. It will be necessary to see if the halo X does not end up repeating the recent history of other devices that promised to revolutionize our relationship with artificial intelligence and ended up being sued fiascos. Rabbit R1 and the AI ​​Pin of Humane They aroused enthusiasm in their presentations and arrived with very ambitious speeches, but failed in practice. Halo’s ambition is on the table and his proposal is as attractive as controversial. It remains to be seen if these glasses They fulfill what they promise or if they will end up swelling the list of inventions that pointed high and stayed on the road.

The new revolutionary technique to say goodbye to glasses

by

We are thousands of people who We have gone through an operating room to submit to a Lasik surgery To correct the vision problem and say goodbye to glasses definitively. And although this is very safe and very common surgery in the day -to -day life of many ophthalmologists, it is still a surgery that is literally “carving” the cornea. Now a research team proposes a radical alternative: correcting vision without lasers, without cuts and in approximately a minute. A new tennic one that already has a name. Through the autumn meeting From the American Chemical Society (ACS), the researchers They presented a technique To remodel the cornea, a small electric current and a kind of platinum lentilla will be used to remodel the tissue precisely and less invasive. This is what they have called Electromechanical remodeling (EMR). The ‘Kit of the matter’ lies in the cornea. To understand innovation, you must first know that The cornea is the transparent ‘dome’ that we find in the front of the eye. Its function is to focus the light on the retina where the cones and canes that are responsible for interpreting the shapes or colors are found. If the shape of this cornea is not perfect, the image that reaches the brain is blurred, giving a pathology that we can know how myopiaFreemetropia or astigmatism. This means that when we want to operate to eliminate these pathologies, the state and thickness of the cornea have to be analyzed. The problem of lasik: “carving” the eye. Lasik surgery Correct this using a laser to eliminate or “carve” microscopic portions of corneal tissue and give it the proper shape. As explained Michael Hill, professor of chemistry at the western College and one of the authors of the study, “LASIK is just an elegant way to do traditional surgery. It is still tissue carving, only with a laser.” In this way, the elimination of a fabric that will never recover is highlighted as a negative point of this surgery. In addition, surgery also conditions have an adequate cornea thickness so that the surgeon can eliminate enough tissue to achieve a good result. And in some people the cornea is really fine. Having this problem in front, the objective of research equipment was clear: mold the fabric instead of eliminating it. Chemistry to make the malleable cornea. The key to this new technique lies in the composition of the cornea. This fabric, rich in collagen, maintains its shape thanks to a network of ionic links between components with opposite loads. The research team, led by Hill and the surgeon Brian Wong of the University of California, discovered that they could “temporarily loosen” this network. Although it was a result they saw almost by accident. The process to get a malleable cornea. For understand how they can do it In a simple way, we will divide the process into the following points: Everything begins by applying a small electrical potential on corneal tissue through an electrode. This current causes the electrolysis of the water present in the tissue, which reduces the pH of the tissue to make it more acidic. This acidity neutralizes the negative loads within the collagen matrix, weakening the links that rigidly keep the cornea, so it will temporarily be malleable to give it the way you want. Once the electric current is removed, the pH returns to its physiological state and the ionic bonds network is restored, causing the cornea to be ‘rigid’ again. Correcting myopia in 10 minutes. To prove their theory, they created some platinum “lenses” that served as a mold with the form of corrected cornea. They placed these in twelve rabbit ocular balloons Ex vivo (that is, they were removed from the animal) and that they were submerged in saline solution to simulate tears. In the 10 eyes that simulated myopia, the result was a success. After applying the electric current for approximately one minute, the cornea curvature adapted perfectly to the shape of the platinum lentilla, correcting the refractive defect. All this at the same time as Lasik technique lasts, but with less steps, a cheaper team and without having to make an incision. A promising future, but with obstacles. Although the theory has worked in these eyes, there is still many steps to take. The fact that a treatment of this caliber reaches a patient is a process that can take many years. At the moment, the next step is to move on to the experimentation in animals, including mice that are alive, in order to evaluate the safety of the procedure. Subsequently, and after the approval of the FDA, You can go through humans in their different scales. In this way, we can go to the next decade before seeing it announce as a valid treatment. Although they also have the financing of the project that is in the air right now. Other uses are also explored. In addition to being a suitable treatment for myopia, farsightedness or astigmatism, the technique could have other applications. One of them is the ability of surgery to reverse certain types of corneal opacity that are caused by exposure to chemicals. This is something that could only be treated with a complete cornea transplant. Aesthetic surgeries are the order of the day. The fact of removing glasses is much For aesthetic reasons and comfort, something that is the order of the day. We have already seen how there are people capable of breaking their bones by have a few centimeters tall or as in the United States Surgery is popularized to make an eye color change. But it’s not something now, since 2,000 years ago The Romans themselves did these surgeries To be able to change the physical.

The Meta Ray-Ban made the desirable smart glasses. Xiaomi wants to make them essential

by

They were not the first, of the finish or industry, but we can agree that the Ray-Ban Meta They are being the first real commercial success of smart glasses. An iconic design, well -solved useful functions and a reasonable price. Goal understood that the trick was not to curl the curl, but in Make technology discreetly integrate into a daily productand later, when he could include goal AI, that the AI ​​was invisible while we are looking for information or captured moments. It worked. Xiaomi’s replica, who just launched his Ai Glasses In its own way (between a vacuum and a car), it is very different. Goal he saw a premium gadget for creators and Early Adopters. Also For those who go from readyWhat are we going to do. Xiaomi has focused its glasses in another way: See in them the control center of your digital life. In the presentation they showed the classic comparative with the Ray-Ban Meta as a rival to beat, but not only compete against other glasses, they also compete with your smartphone as the main device. The difference is in the ecosystem. The finish lines are great to take photos and videos from our point of view, or to use as headphones without it seems to do it. Also to consult Goal AI. But there ends its story. Xiaomi glasses promise other things. From controlling your air conditioning to start your electric car, manage video calls or translate conversations in real time (someday). All from the same device you wear. The Ray-Ban Meta We loved from minute 1 with them in the headbut Here we see the difference between creating a good product and creating a platform. Xiaomi is committed to something more risky: convince you that glasses can replace much of what you do with the mobile. If the bet goes well and the product works, Xiaomi will have created something bigger than good smart glasses. You will have created the first glasses that become really indispensable for its users. As much as the mobile today. Outstanding image | Xiaomi In Xataka | The Xiaomi electric SUV is already priced in China. Yu7 is a direct dart to Tesla Model and

A sentence forces the Principality of Asturias to pay the glasses to a public employee. It is only the first of many

by

The Occupational Risk Prevention Regulations establishes a series of mandatory measures and recommendations to maintain the Safety of work environmentsand forcing companies to adopt measures of protection for your employees. Adequate clothing, helmets, gloves, protective footwear, etc. However, what happens when what causes physical damage is the continued use of screens in the workplace? That is the situation that a public employee In 2021. The Social 1 Court of Mieres, in Asturias, has responded to the lawsuit forcing the Asturian administration to take care of the Cost of graduated glassesopening the door to future demands of other employees in the same situation. What happened? As extracted from the sentence to which Xataka has had access, the affected person is a work worker of the Principality who performed maintenance assistant at the Sports Center of El Cristo in Oviedo. In 2021, the center digitized the access control system, so the employee increased the use of screens in his job. As a result of the use of screens, the employee began to present visual discomfort that before the change did not suffer affecting his visual acuity in the use of the screens. In 2024, the employee asked the Principality of Asturias for an ophthalmological review and the provision of new glasses adequate if the recognition recommended it. The autonomous administration ignored both “leaving it without answer,” says the sentence. In January 2025, on behalf of the employee, the legal service of the USIPA-SAIF union He filed a lawsuit against the Principality claiming the application of European directives and The sentences of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The protagonist: Directive 90/270. In his sentence, the Mieres Court forces the Principality of Asturias to provide or cover the cost of glasses to a public employee to need them to work with screens, in compliance with article 9 sections 1, 2 and 3 of the European Directive 90/270on minimal safety and health provisions for work. This European directive complements community regulations through a series of minimum provisions common to all EU countries. In the aforementioned article 9, the eye protection measures and the view of the workers are established. Specifically, “if you experience visual difficulties that may be due to work with the screen.” Under this article the right to ophthalmological reviews is collected, and forces employers to provide employees with “special corrective apparatus appropriate to the work in question”. A pioneer sentence. The sentence recognizes the employee the relevance of the application of that 90/270 directive and the European jurisprudence with a Judgment issued in Italy where this right is also recognized that employers must provide special corrective devices (such as glasses) if medical recognitions justify them. The sentence distinguishes between “normal corrective devices” (general use, out of work) and “special corrective devices” (specifically necessary For tasks with screens), putting the focus in the latter, since the employee only reported “visual acuity disorders that had been diagnosed, however, it is incumbent at the aforementioned jurisdictional body to verify whether the graduated glasses in question effectively serve to correct view disorders related to their work and not general view problems.” Thus, the sentence fails in favor of the employee forcing the administration of the Principality of Asturias “to be carried out an ophthalmological medical examination, (…) as well as that they are given with graduated glasses if they were prescribed by said option as necessary to perform their daily work in front of the computer screen or reimburse them The expenses of its acquisition“, is specified in the sentence. Why is the sentence important? The application of these regulations by the Mieres Social Court feels a precedent in the prevention of occupational hazards, normalizing the ocular protection of those employees who are exposed to long days in front of screens without the equivalent of protection to a helmet in the case of workers or gloves for a carpenter. Maria Guadalupe Lorenzo, lawyer of the Legal Service of the Usipa-Saif Union of Asturias that has led this case, says that “from our union we are already formulating claims of the future extensions of effects to this sentence for the labor personnel who are in a similar situation, as well as claims for the official personnel and other affiliated workers. There will be multiple claims and surely more sentences in this regard.” The sentence is firm because the Principality has not appealed, so its application is immediate.

Google wants to replicate in its glasses with Android’s success in mobiles. Unlike Glass in 2013, now it makes sense

by

In 2013, Google Glass He promised to revolutionize our day to day with smart glasses that would give us real -time information. However, the project ran into multiple obstacles that led him to commercial failure. Now, more than a decade later, Google bets again on a similar proposal, but this time The cards on the table are completely different For two reasons: Android XR and Gemini. “If you go back and look at the original video of Google Glass’s launch, I think the vision was great. This idea of ​​a product that you can take and that gives you the right information at the right time was incredible. An interview during the Google I/O In Googleplex offices in Mountain View, California. The equation that was missing in Glass Image | Antonio Zugaldia The Google I/O. has left us with great novelties Around the company’s products and ecosystem. Almost overnight, Google bombard us with A flood of functions and products oriented to its Android ecosystem that Gemini has hugged strongly. Among some of the most prominent aspects we could try THE NEW AI MODE which replaces Google’s traditional searches with Search Live, Flow with the new Image 4 models and I see 3and even the new mixed reality devices with Android XR as Project Moohan and His glasses with Gemini. Payne has given us more context about the plans that the company has for the New ecosystem they are developing with Android XRwhich already borrows all the work behind android for mobiles. The Executive identifies three key elements that were not present at the time of Google Glass and that now exist: artificial intelligence, an ecosystem of robust applications and truly usable hardware. Image | Xataka “One thing that did not exist was the AI. Make Those experiences They were reality required some fundamental advances in artificial intelligence that had simply not occurred yet. Gemini is here now, “Payne explains. The second factor is the application ecosystem. While for Glass the developers had to build specific applications in a special development environment, Android XR takes a radically different approach. “We are building a platform. We work with the ecosystem. We include all Android developers. Now, instead that developers have to create a new application, the app simply works,” says Payne. Image | Xataka This approach means that All Android applications will work on Android XRfrom mobile phones to virtual reality glasses and devices, eliminating the input barrier that existed previously. With this, Google wants to leave behind That fragmentation problem That has been ballasting Android for years, offering universal compatibility, unified development tools and the use of open standards such as Webxr, Openxr and Vulkan to expand their ecosystem. Gemini as an intermediary between the software and us Interface that Google raises for Android XR in Project Moohan | Image: Google “We think Gemini is for XR what the touch screen was for smartphones,” says Payne, establishing a parallelism with The 2007 iPhone which changed the mobile industry forever. According to Payne during the interview, Google’s vision for his smart glasses is to create “a natural conversational interface that understands what is important for you and gives you the right information at the right time.” Glasses, equipped with cameras and microphones, They can feed Gemini with real world informationwhile the connection with the phone gives access to the user’s digital world. Real -time translation test with Gemini at glasses | Image: Google Glasses that people really want to wear The third pillar is hardware. Google has made significant investments in screens technology, such as The acquisition of Raxumwhich manufactures “tiny and efficient energy” monolithic micro LED screens, according to the manager. The company also seems to be considered as important Collaboration with brands Fashionable like Warby Parker and Gentle Monster to create “really elegant glasses, glasses that people really want to wear.” “What we learned is that people really need to feel that they wear normal glasses to wear them all the time,” Payne acknowledges about the lessons learned from Glass. And to see, the proposal that Google offered in 2013 with Glass cool a lot, but to win the mass public, perhaps opting for One more approach mainstream In design be more appropriate. Proof of this is the irrefutable success of the Ray-Ban Meta Not as a product, which also, but as a format. Privacy of what we know in Android PROJECT MOOHAN | Image: Xataka Aware of privacy concerns generated by a continuous recording device, Payne also told us more about the approach that Google is adopting in privacy and security. On the one hand, the idea is that the device offer key switches and markers To know when the user is recording, activating their location or sending their information to their servers. “Privacy ends up being the basis of anything we develop around the ecosystem,” says Payne. In the current prototype we cannot talk that these measures have been applied because they are not for sale to the public yet and everything indicates that the company still has a long journey ahead before marketing its glasses. Of course, Payne has been able to advance that The idea is to apply the Android already familiar permissions framework related to privacy, together with that series of switches and mechanisms incorporated into the hardware to protect the user. It is clear that having constantly connected glasses and that they see everything your eyes see must land with a crucial and determining approach in this aspect. The explosion with AI can be the ideal time to boost this technology As we have seen, for Android XR to stop being a niche and become a mainstream product, Payne identifies The confluence of three factors: abundant and useful applications, diversity of devices for different needs, and a powerful interface fed by AI. “No one is saying: ‘Do you know what I want to do? I want to wear a helmet. I want to wear smart glasses. I don’t know what they do, but … Read more

Glasses connected with Android XR

by

Google wants we all wear glasses. Not to correct a defect of our view, but to turn this accessory into the definitive complement of our smartphone. The advance of Android XR shown during its Google I/O 2025 event, and a future is emerging in which the connected glasses will go far beyond what the headphones or smart watches have gone. Two better than one. The launch of Vision Pro Apple in February last year caused an inevitable “Wow” effect. Months later we discovered that Google and Samsung had Together forces for launch Project Moohanaugmented reality glasses with an approach similar to Apple’s. Now that bet has been unfoldedbecause we will also have Google connected glasses that follow the line of the Meta Ray-Ban and go even further by integrating a small screen into one of the glasses. Android XR to power. The new Google operating system for this family of devices is Android XRa Android variant specifically designed to run in augmented reality glasses and connected glasses such as those mentioned. The interface is based on gestures and especially in the voice, and there seems to be any type of viewing system for the moment, as it happens in the pro vision. Gemini as a differential element. Gemini’s advance, Google’s generative model, is patent. It has been possible for months to talk with Gemini naturally and with each new version those conversations become not only more natural, but more useful. The yesterday demos with Project Astra They demonstrated it, and convert the voice and natural language into a crucial component for the success of the glasses. Here Google seems to go one step ahead of its competitors, both Apple and Meta, at least with the functions of AI included at this time. Experience is a degree. What we are seeing now is the result of more than a decade of Google work. The firm already tried to convince us to wear glasses years ago with The singular Google Glassbut that did not curdle. The ideas were good, but the implementation not so much. They caused as much fascination as disgustperhaps due to a format and design that failed in the essential: for better and for worse it was noticed that you were a user of such glasses. With Android XR the design wants to be totally traditional, as it is in the Ray-Ban Meta. Glasses are more versatile. There is another element that favors glasses as a product: they promise more varied use cases. They replace the headphones thanks to the integrated speakers, and provide more things than smart watches, which focus much more on physical activity and health for years. The glasses are in fact a form of get the motive less out of the pocket When you go down the street, and probably the evolution of technology will make us more and more. Going to a site, sending messages, receiving calls, asking questions about something we are seeing: all that we can do in one way or another with the mobile we can do it more directly, naturally and better with the glasses. Or that is the promise, at least. Goal is in the fight. Google connected glasses will still take time to arrive, but those mentioned Meta Ray-Ban They are currently the great reference in this segment. Mark Zuckerberg firmly believes in this product, and in fact provides that In 2030 we will almost not get the mobile out of the pocket Because we will do everything from the glasses and with the voice. Other great Chinese technology companies as Xiaomi or Baidu They seem to be as clear. And Apple, what? The technological jump proposed by the Apple Vision Pro is remarkable, but the cases of practical use are limited and the price is an obstacle too important for many users. That has made its success limited, but In Apple they seem to have a plan B. It would be to develop an affordable alternative of the pro vision that perhaps adopts the format of the finish line: more modest in benefits, but also much more suitable for using as the almighty complement iPhone. More competition. Google and Google have the front here, but it is clear that other manufacturers, such as the aforementioned Xiaomi and Baidu, will join this market to try to take a piece of that cake. Yesterday we learned that one of the first to offer these glasses connected to Android XR It will be Xrealwhich has long been offering remarkable products in this area. The advantage of the ecosystem. Here the hardware imports, without a doubt, but also the operating system used and of course the functions of AI that allow to interact with this wearable through the voice. Here Google has an advantage again thanks to its ecosystem (Android XR + Gemini), but we will certainly see proposals from other manufacturers. If everything goes as it seems, it is likely that in a few years More people wear glasses down the street. And not because they have vision problems.
