Gemini smartglasses open for preorder from $395
Original title: Google pushes privacy angle as Gemini-powered smartglasses debut starting at $395
Warby Parker frames start at $395 in the US; Gentle Monster styles start at $449 in the US and South Korea.
Google opened preorders for Gemini-powered glasses designed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, with Samsung supplying the in-frame computing hardware and Google the software. The glasses have no lens displays; users start Gemini by saying "Hey Gemini" or tapping the frame, including via an integrated camera, in an experience Google compares to Gemini Live. Frames weigh about 41 grams before lenses, which also affect final price. Google is stressing a privacy angle as it returns to intelligent eyewear after Google Glass.
