Smart glasses are being positioned as a developing consumer technology category, shaped by incremental improvements in AI, cameras, audio systems, and on device processing. Products such as Meta’s Ray Ban smart glasses provides hands free photo and video capture, voice calls, audio playback, and AI driven functions like translation and voice interaction. Other concepts in the market include sport oriented glasses that combine cameras, navigation, and fitness related features, along with models aimed at notifications, messaging, and real time information access.
Improvements with chip designs, battery efficiency, microphones, and sensors are leading to slimmer designs and longer use times, which makes daily wear more plausible for many. However, there are unresolved questions around privacy, data use, comfort, social acceptance, and how clearly recording features are communicated to others who are nearby. Current products and prototypes continue to experiment with form factors and use cases, including content capture, accessibility support, and productivity tasks, rather than a settled vision for how smart glasses will fit into everyday life.
