Samsung has announced its plans to enter the smart glasses market with AI-powered eyewear that features a built-in camera and connects to smartphones, according to Jay Kim, executive vice president of the company’s mobile division. This launch, slated for this year, marks Samsung’s first venture into this product category, facing strong competition from Meta, which currently holds an 82% share of the global smart glasses market. The development of these glasses is part of Samsung’s ongoing collaboration with Qualcomm and Google, initiated in 2023, focused on creating advanced mixed-reality technology, following the release of the Galaxy XR headset. As advancements in AI models like Google Gemini and ChatGPT drive this sector, Samsung aims to explore innovative user interactions through its smart glasses.
