Samsung to Launch Its First AI Glasses in November

Samsung is preparing for the commercial launch of its first AI glasses. A company representative told The Korea Herald that the new device will go on sale in November.

Samsung’s glasses, called Intelligent Eyewear, do not have a display. Cameras and microphones on the device record what the user sees and hears. Google Gemini then processes this information through the user’s connected Galaxy smartphone and delivers the response through the glasses’ speakers.

Samsung is highlighting the new product’s light weight as one of its main advantages. The company emphasized this feature at the Galaxy Unpacked event held in July. According to reports, the new model could be one of the lightest AI glasses on the market.

Samsung has also paid particular attention to privacy and covert recording issues with the new device. Following concerns from local regulators about people being recorded without their knowledge in public places and cheating during exams, the company added special LED indicators to the glasses’ frame.

These indicators are located on both the inside and outside of the glasses. If the external LED indicator is covered and the user attempts to operate the camera covertly, the device detects this, automatically disables the camera and stops recording.

Other technical details and the price of Samsung’s first AI glasses have not yet been announced.
