I tried smart glasses with a built-in display, and they made my Meta Ray-Bans feel outdated

They feature built-in displays that project textual information, such as a teleprompter, AI responses, and more.

These 1080p Smart Glasses Can Be Controlled With a Touch-Sensitive Ring

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-10-15 07:00:37

Smart glasses are pretty exciting right now, not just because they’re increasingly popular, but because they’re not quite mainstream yet, which means companies are still allowed to get very weird with them. It’s in that nascent zone of experimentation that you get some interesting stuff, and that definitely includes Inmo’s Air 3 AR glasses. There are lots of cool / quirky things about Inmo’s Air 3—which announced a Kickstarter as a part of IFA 2025—but my favorite thing is that it tackles one o

If you know someone who appreciates a good tech gadget, they’ll be a big fan of these smart glasses. CNET’s Scott Stein says the Meta Ray-Bans are practical and, oddly, transformative. He’s gotten so used to them that sometimes he’ll start talking to himself and tapping the glasses to take pictures before realizing he’s wearing his regular ones. “I suddenly miss the extra features like a phantom limb,” he says.

A New Wave of Smart Glasses Are Coming, but Will They Get Better Fast Enough?

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-17 01:00:00

Meta Ray-Bans are one of the most fascinating new pieces of lifestyle tech I've encountered in years -- when I'm wearing them, that is. I don't always have my black Meta Ray-Bans on my face, and there's a good reason for that. Battery life isn't good enough, and it's getting worse over time. On a recent trip to the UK, I wore them to the beach and got a low-battery warning after just one long walk in the tide pools. As impressive as smart glasses are, the battery issues are just some of the pr

Dymesty AI Glasses: Everyday titanium eyewear with a full AI assistant built in

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-17 13:09:16

AI-powered smart glasses are all the rage nowadays. However, despite their potential, one of the main issues with smart glasses is their appearance and feel. Most are usually big, bulky, made with plastic to keep the weight low, and have large stems to hold all the tech. It all adds up to quite an uncomfortable experience and often looks out of place. That is the most significant pain point that Dymesty addresses with its AI Glasses. Dymesty created AI glasses that professionals would genuinely

Is three better than two? Apparently, we're about to find out again. Samsung will reportedly launch its Galaxy Z TriFold in South Korea on Sept. 29 in its third Unpacked event of 2025. At the same time, the company will introduce its Project Moohan mixed reality headset and AI smart glasses. If Samsung does indeed unleash the Galaxy Z TriFold later this month, it would be the second triple-screen phone in existence.

Apple is reportedly launching its own AI smart glasses next year, per a Bloomberg report. While Apple is very much so late to the category, I do think there are a number of great value adds Apple could bring to the table – which I’ll be outlining here. I bought a pair of Meta Ray-Bans during Black Friday last year, and I’ve got to say – they’re a lot cooler than I expected them to be.

Smart glasses are an exciting idea right now. In theory, they’re a new gadget that does lots of the stuff that our phones do, but in an always-there form factor. They can take pictures, make calls, translate menus, and—if the tech and the investment get there—they might slap a screen right onto eyeballs for notifications, navigation, and maybe even augmented reality à la Pokémon Go.
