SEOUL, November 13 (AJP) - Google is teaming up with Samsung Electronics and eyewear brands Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to launch Gemini-powered smart glasses in South Korea and the U.S., expanding its AI services into wearable devices.
The new lineup, unveiled on Friday, is available for preorder ahead of its release on Dec. 10. The Gentle Monster collection will be sold in both markets, while Warby Parker's version will be available only in the United States. The glasses feature a camera, speakers and a microphone, allowing users to access Gemini through voice commands or touch controls, check information, create shopping lists and use real-time translation. Prices start at US$449 (about 650,000 won) for Gentle Monster's collection and $395 (about 570,000 won) for Warby Parker's. The launch puts Google and Samsung in competition with Meta, which already accounts for more than 80 percent of global AI glasses shipments, according to industry watchers.
