Sure, let’s dive into the beautiful chaos of tech news. So, here’s a scoop from Google, shaking hands with these eyewear legends, Warby Parker (yeah, the ones selling glasses like candy) and Gentle Monster (think Korean flair meets your face). They’re cooking up Android XR smartglasses—remember Meta’s fling with EssilorLuxottica? Like Ray-Bans with brains. But hold your horses, no product yet. It’s just a love note, not a wedding invite.
Anyway, Google’s got this Gemini AI thing (whatever that means) humming in the heart of these glasses. Maybe it’ll make us see into the future? Or just show us cat videos. 🤷♂️
So, Warby Parker, they’re the cool kids since 2010, flipping the script on how we buy specs without the eye-popping price. And Gentle Monster, a Korean cousin, doing its own irresistible shimmy since 2011. They’re like EssilorLuxottica’s scrappy underdogs. Sure, EssilorLuxottica’s a giant, eating up brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley for breakfast, but let’s see if these newcomers can steal some spotlight.
Meta’s been dancing with EssilorLuxottica for ages, strutting out Ray-Ban Meta wannabe glasses with mixed success. And now Google’s swiping right on trendsetters Warby and Gentle Monster, hoping for the same vibe. You get it, right? The fashion game in tech is real.
Tossback to Google Glass—a decade ago, wow, feels like just yesterday they were trying to make us all future cyborgs. The tech was neat but… eh, those lopsided lenses made wearing them feel like playing pirate. Socially awkward much?
The whole world’s on edge thinking, what’s next? When’s Android XR dropping? What’s the cost? No clue! Google let slip that devs can toy around with the tech later this year, but beyond that, it’s radio silence.
So, who knows what magic or mishaps await? We’re just here vibing, waiting for the world to change, one pixel at a time.
