Google, Samsung, Warby Parker and Gentle Monster have opened preorders for the first Gemini-powered smart glasses. Warby Parker’s three frames start at $395 in the United States, while six Gentle Monster styles start at $449 in the US and South Korea. Shipping is scheduled for December 10.
The roughly 41-gram frames have a 12-megapixel camera, microphones and open-ear speakers but no display. Users can ask Gemini about what the camera sees, request voice navigation or add details from an event poster to a calendar. Google also plans conversational visual descriptions for people with impaired vision.
A camera light activates during recording, and the camera should stop if the light is covered or altered. Google says Play Store apps cannot livestream from the glasses and real-time facial recognition is prohibited. Captured images and video will not enter Gemini history or be used for model training or ad targeting. Voice conversations follow ordinary Gemini history rules, and server-side processing is not yet protected by Google’s Private AI Compute.
Launch compatibility is limited to recent iPhones, Pixel phones and Samsung Galaxy S or Z devices on a specified software version. The absence of a screen also makes mistaken object identification or calendar actions harder to verify, leaving the product’s value dependent on Gemini’s reliability in real-world use.
