Google partners with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster for AI audio glasses

At Google I/O 2026, Google announced a new line of AI-powered audio glasses developed in partnership with Warby Parker, Gentle Monster, and Samsung. The devices pair with Android and iOS, respond to voice commands, and integrate with Google's ecosystem including Gemini. A demo showed a user ordering coffee by speaking to the glasses. Google previously launched Google Glass, which led to the term 'glassholes.' The smart glasses market has since evolved, with Meta and startups investing heavily. The new glasses are expected later this year.
