Google unveils smart glasses, taking on Meta

Google on Tuesday unveiled the design of new smart glasses, returning to a market the tech giant tried — and failed — to crack more than a decade ago.

The glasses, expected to go on sale later this year, will challenge Meta which has built a commanding lead with its Ray-Ban smart glasses, which have sold at least seven million units.

The Google’s so-called “audio glasses” will be equipped with a microphone, camera and small speaker, and will allow users to make calls, listen to music, take photos and chat with the Gemini AI assistant.
