(Image credit: Meta) A decade after universally mocking Google Glass wearers, AI smart glasses may finally have their moment. We’re starting to see AI-enhanced wearables for the face appear with an ever-growing array of features designed to entice you, with big names like Meta and Baidu, as well as startups like Brilliant Labs and Solos employing AI models and advanced hardware to change how we see the world, literally and metaphorically. Here are the biggest reasons 2025 will be the year for AI smart glasses. Smart glasses focus AI in useful ways.
As people become more comfortable with using advanced AI tools, they want to use them in more settings. That can be annoying if you’re driving or don’t want to pull out your phone constantly. Unlike Google Glass, modern smart glasses are designed around easy access while not being distracting to people around you. Meta’s partnership with Ray-Ban, for example, offers a device that can take photos and videos, link you to the Meta AI assistant, and still look like stylish frames. Throw in features like real-time translation and health metrics, as showcased in the Solos AirGo 3 Smart Glasses, and the blending of eyewear and AI makes a lot of sense.
Plus, smart glasses may be the best way to get generative AI into hardware. Compare the excitement over smart glasses to t the struggles of devices like the Humane AI Pin , the Rabbit R1 , and the Plaud.ai NotePin. Smart glasses feel like a much safer bet than any other devices made explicitly for AI. Productivity face
Converging with the recognition of smart glasses as the best vehicle for AI is how people use AI in ways that lend themselves to smart glasses. Next year, you might be wearing your personal study buddy or office assistant on your face. Brilliant Labs is envisioning that future with their Frame Smart Glasses. Equipped with the proprietary Noa AI assistant, they’re specifically aimed at busy people by linking reminders, contextual information, and task lists to the wearable.
