Briefings

A user reports launching smart glasses from Samsung, Warby Parker, and Gentle Monster, featuring Google's Gemini AI via Android XR. The user notes these devices are less popular than Meta's previous 'pervert glasses' due to privacy concerns, though the new Samsung models offer better AI demos. The article suggests this marks a shift in the market away from Meta's dominance.
