Google unveils smart glasses that work with iPhone, starting at 670 manats
On November 12, Google unveiled its Intelligent Eyewear smart glasses, which run on the Android XR platform. The device, which has received Made for iPhone certification, also officially supports iOS. The glasses were developed by Samsung, while the frames were designed by Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. There are 30 different designs in total.
The glasses weigh between 40 and 44 g, depending on the frame. The device has a 12 MP wide-angle camera, 4 microphones and 2 speakers that deliver sound without covering the ears. Voice control is activated with the “Hey Gemini” command. The touchpad recognizes taps and swipes, while a physical button can be used to disable all smart features. The Glasses app developed for iOS balances the bright and dark areas of images. Photos and videos of up to 90 seconds are saved in the Apple Photos library. Wi-Fi Aware technology quickly transfers files to the phone. An iPhone 13 Pro or newer model is required to use the device. Gemini can make calls, send private messages and iMessages, and display notifications. When Intelligent Eyewear takes a photo or records a video for later viewing, a white recording indicator lights up. If the light is covered or malfunctions, the camera stops. The indicator does not light up during visual searches or translations. This is because images captured for Gemini are deleted immediately after use and are not retained in the history. According to Google, these materials are not used to train artificial intelligence or for advertising. The phone obscures faces and also filters out extraneous sounds.
Android XR automatically checks whether the indicator is working while charging. If a malfunction is detected, the camera turns off. Live translation focuses on the 60-degree area in front of the user and reduces other sounds. When it is unclear whether a command calls for using the camera, Gemini requests additional confirmation. Google has also limited video recording to 90 seconds.
During initial setup, the user must agree not to record others without permission, record in sensitive locations or cover the indicator. Google Shopping and Google Ads prohibit the sale and advertising of accessories that conceal the indicator. Google Play does not allow apps that livestream on social networks, recognize faces in real time or alter how the indicator works. The device can be activated only with the Google account of a person over the age of 18. The glasses operate for 9 hours on a single charge. The charging case can fully recharge them an additional 7 times. Warby Parker models will go on sale in 3 frame designs, with prices starting at $395 (approximately 670 manats). Gentle Monster models, which will be sold in the US and South Korea, start at $449 (approximately 760 manats). Preorders opened on November 12, and retail sales will begin on December 10.
