Samsung AR Glasses with AI expectations
The company has recently claimed that Samsung is gearing up to deliver rich, multimodal AI experiences with its next-generation AR Glasses. This did not clarify that the device will come equipped with a display, but AI experience means Google will have a big say on how this product shapes up and how it will function.
The company’s first AR glasses are not expected to feature a built-in display and work more as a secondary paired device with a phone. The device will allow users to record videos, capture pictures, listen to music, and even make phone calls.
The device is expected to be powered by the Android XR platform. The glasses will feature Gemini out of the box and other apps from the Android ecosystem to work seamlessly.
