Gentle Monster has unveiled its first smart eyewear series at the 2026 Google I/O conference, developed in collaboration with Google and Samsung. The audio glasses feature Samsung hardware — including built-in speakers, a camera, and a microphone — enabling users to listen to music, take calls, and capture photos. Integrated with Google Gemini, the glasses support local information queries, real-time navigation, and live translation via voice commands. Gemini can also handle complex tasks such as photo editing and placing food delivery orders. The audio glasses are scheduled to launch in fall.
