New Smart Glasses Block Out All Real-Life Advertising

futurism.com Unknown 2025-08-27 19:15:24

When you're online, a browser plugin can block all those annoying ads that pop up and clutter up your screen — but unfortunately we can't do that to ads in real life. Yet, at least. That could all change after an enterprising software engineer posted an experiment with a pair of smart augmented reality glasses. When you don a pair of the specs and look at a billboard, or even the label on a food container, a red rectangle pops up to block the offending visual clutter from your view. "It’s stil

These Smart Glasses Are Already Kicking Meta Ray-Bans’ Ass

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-08-30 15:40:26

Meta clearly has more competition than ever in the world of smart glasses, and that field of competitors isn’t getting any slimmer. The most recent company to join the smart glasses fray is China’s Xiaomi, which just unveiled a pair of frames that, if I’m being totally honest here, puts Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses to shame—at least on paper. The first thing I noticed about Xiaomi’s AI Glasses, which costs around the same price as Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses at $280, is that it does something that I’ve be

The xMEMS 'fan on a chip' is ready for smart glasses

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-05 11:00:32

As AI reignites Big Tech's push for smart glasses, here's a tech that could play a central role. xMEMS, which debuted a solid-state "fan on a chip" last year, has a new one for wearables. This could help future smart glasses melt your face figuratively — and not literally. Founded in 2018, xMEMS specializes in micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology. The California-based company started with solid-state speakers. Last year, it introduced its µCooling "fan on a chip" for phones and oth

Meta’s next generation of smart glasses is here, but it’s not Ray-Ban doing the heavy lifting on design. This go-around, it’s Oakley at the center, which may seem like a strange choice at first but makes more sense once you unpack how Meta is positioning its first new pair of smart glasses since its original Ray-Ban collab. In Meta’s words, these things are all about “performance.” What does that mean, exactly? Sports, mostly. This pair focuses primarily on athletes who want to capture footage

They ought to be more than just glorified Bluetooth audio devices, too, since we already have those; they definitely have to fit a camera that doesn’t suck and a voice assistant that can get the job done. On top of all of the technical constraints, there’s also one burden that makes them different than other wearables—they absolutely, positively, cannot look dorky on your face. Because of th
