Developed in collaboration with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, these glasses offer Android XR platform and Google Gemini support. Users can access various functions hands-free. ## Tech specs and hardware The glasses run on Qualcomm's Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor. Built-in cameras enable real-time translation, navigation, and notification summaries. Devices controllable via touch-sensitive temples and voice commands also feature video recording and photo capture. ## Gentle Monster design The model produced in collaboration with Gentle Monster has a distinctive 'cat-eye' oval shape. While appearing normal from a distance, thick temples and front-facing cameras with LED indicators reveal these aren't ordinary sunglasses. The carrying case doubles as a charging unit. ## Warby Parker model The Warby Parker design offers a look similar to Ray-Ban Meta glasses. Both models have a sturdy build, though their surfaces are prone to fingerprint smudges. Carrying cases can provide up to seven full charges for the glasses. ## User experience Designed without internal displays, the glasses don't clutter the field of view. Users interact via built-in speakers and Google Gemini assistant. With cameras analyzing the surroundings, the device offers practical features for everyday use. ## Market expectations Samsung's Intelligent Eyewear series, with undisclosed pricing and launch date, could be a significant step in the wearable tech market. Particularly notable for AR and AI integration, these glasses aim to capture consumer interest with their innovative approach. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.gsmarena.com/eyeson_first_look_at_the_samsung_gentle_monster_and_warby_parker_smart_glasses-news-73841.php — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
