Google to release first smart glasses since Google Glass flop

The core features of Google's intelligent eyewear appear similar to those available in Meta's offering of AI or smart glasses , which have a small camera and speakers for verbal and audio communication with Meta AI. Meta's Ray-Bans have already sold seven million pairs, according to the company. However, the same privacy concerns that Google Glass faced over a decade ago are already bubbling up with Meta's glasses.

Snap is also expected to release a new version of its smart glasses this year, and Apple is reportedly working on a glasses product, too.
