The XR glasses, jointly developed by Samsung Electronics (SSNGY) and Google (GOOG), will be released in the second half of 2025, and will share some specs with the popular Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Samsung’s XR glasses will be available in the third quarter of next year
According to the Wellsen XR study, some new details of Samsung’s upcoming XR glasses reveal that Samsung plans to initially produce 50 0,000 smart glasses, which are the same chip used by Ray-Ban Meta, and will carry a Qualcomm AR1 chipset.
The study also said that Samsung glasses will have a 12MP, camera and 155 mAh battery, almost the same battery capacity as Ray-Ban glasses; in terms of weight, they weigh 50 grams, slightly heavier than the Ray-Ban Meta. In addition, some functions of Samsung XR glasses will also have a built-in Gemini, and the assistant can handle AI tasks.
On the other hand, Apple (AAPL) also took an important step forward in the AI glasses field. Apple has launched a new internal research program, with the new project code-named Atlas, which focuses on the development of smart glasses.
At present, the Visual Intelligence and enhanced Siri AI technologies available to Apple on iOS can be better implemented on AI glasses. It’s worth noting that the study, led by the product system quality team of Apple’s hardware engineering division, has high credibility combined with Apple’s earlier decision to delay the development of AR glasses.
The AI glasses boom is sweeping in
Among all wearable devices, AI glasses have a number of inherent product design advantages, including a first-person camera, and what you see is what you get. AI glasses are not a new species. Ray-Ban Stories, the original smart glasses between Meta (META) and RayBan, was released.
The unexpected sales of Meta’s second-generation AI glasses have brought new hope to the industry. As of May 2024, Ray-Ban Meta’s global sales may have exceeded 1 million units. At the end of September, Meta unveiled its new generation of AI glasses Orion, which is also Meta’s first AR glasses.
The success of Ray-Ban Meta proves the feasibility of smart glasses products as AI terminal landing scenarios. Zuckerberg believes that there will be two forms of smart glasses in the future market, namely holograms for the ultimate experience, and simple glasses focusing on cost performance and Meta optimized for artificial intelligence experience. It seems that the current AI glasses market is boiling, the major manufacturers are gearing up for a war.
WiMi started its technological layout
Data show that WiMi Hologram Cloud (NASDAQ: WIMI), a pioneer in the XR industry, has a mature layout in content and software, and has become an important manufacturer in virtual reality hardware manufacturing. Now, based on their past experience and expectations for the future, WiMi is perfecting the whole industry chain, together to promote artificial intelligence and XR in the consumer electronics terminal side fusion innovation, focus on the layout of a new generation of AI glasses, fully carry AI function, trying to make industry synergy “and” high-end consumption ” two go hand in hand in both directions, effectively promote the popularization of XR technology.
In fact, WiMi in the road of consumer products has been explored for several years, rely on their own strength, coupled with the environment of convenient channels, by scientific and technological innovation, by product innovation, better integration and innovation on the supply chain, across the terminal application operation, help developers to build quality XR experience, fundamentally change the way and human-computer interaction, provide strong support for XR industry development, earlier won the global market recognition.
For the development potential of consumer AI glasses, WiMi holds the same view as enterprises in the industry. The concept of AI glasses has become a hot spot in the industry. With the help of AI technology, the seamless integration of the digital world and the real world can promote the key role in the commercialization of AI + AR glasses. With the help of this technology, WiMiAI glasses can show strong potential in multi-scene applications, provide a new path for the deep integration of AI and the real world, and accelerate the practice of AI in education, live broadcasting, industry, entertainment and other fields.
Conclusion
To sum up, with the continuous progress of technology and the iterative update of products, AI glasses are likely to become a leader in the market, continue to expand application scenarios, experience and upgrade to unlock more possibilities of XR, and lay a solid step for the development of XR ecology, and will create a more immersive, more intelligent and more interconnected future. In short, in this era of fierce market competition, AI glasses, the new star of the combination of technology and fashion, is setting off a trend.
