Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR ByteDance is reportedly working on mixed reality goggles. Sources compare the size and shape of the goggles to Bigscreen’s Beyond headset. It will come tethered to a puck, similar to Meta’s XR glasses. Outside of AI, the hottest thing in tech these days seems to be smart glasses. We’ve known for a few months now that Meta is working on XR glasses, internally codenamed Phoenix (previously codenamed Puffin). Not to be confused with Orion, which is the

These ‘4K-Like’ AR Glasses Are Actually Only 1080p, but I Want Them All the Same

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-25 09:00:27

When it comes to gadget specs, it’s best to be precise. For example, if you were buying a TV, you may want to know the resolution, and if you showed up to Best Buy and the tag on your brand-spanking-new Sony said “kind of, sort of, 4K,” you’d probably have some questions. Same goes for AR glasses, in my opinion, but that didn’t stop Viture from slapping “4K-like” branding on all of its new frames. It also doesn’t stop me from wanting them all the same. Viture announced a few pairs of upcoming A

Meta’s Obsession With AI Will Make Smart Glasses Finally Click

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-26 23:56:30

Meta made some pretty major moves in AI this week, and some of them were supremely expensive. According to Bloomberg, Meta spent a whopping $200 million trying to poach just one person from Apple (Ruoming Pang, the former lead in charge of developing the large language models behind Apple Intelligence), and that’s just one person it scooped up in its flurry of AI talent acquisitions—there are several others from OpenAI that also jumped ship just this week. It’s to be expected in one way. AI is
