More than a decade after Google Glass flopped, the tech giant is returning to smart eyewear with AI-powered glasses launching this fall. The new glasses feature Gemini AI, cameras, and speakers in partnerships with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster.
New York just became the first state to ban smart glasses in every courthouse, protecting privacy while courts adapt to new technology. Starting July 20, visitors must check their devices before entering any of the state's 1,240 courts.
More than a decade after Google Glass flopped, Google is trying again with AI-powered smart glasses launching this autumn. The new glasses will feature a camera, built-in speakers, and hands-free Gemini AI assistance.
New smart glasses display live captions of conversations right on the lenses, helping people hear better in noisy places without recording anyone. Unlike controversial camera-equipped glasses, these caption-only devices skip the creepy surveillance features entirely.
Scientists at Microsoft Research created tiny glass rectangles that can store massive amounts of data for millennia using lasers. The technology could preserve humanity's most important knowledge far longer than any current storage system.
Scientists created the world's smallest OLED pixel, small enough to fit an entire HD display on a grain of sand. The breakthrough could finally make truly wearable smart glasses a reality.
Tesla has patented a innovative glass roof system that uses perforated panels to circulate air and reduce AC load, potentially boosting electric vehicle range. The technology could turn panoramic sunroofs from heat traps into active cooling systems.
A London team just won £1 million for creating smart glasses with an AI companion that helps people with dementia stay independent at home. The technology recognizes objects in real time and gently guides users through everyday tasks like making tea.
Charlotte, 64, lost her sight at 17 due to a rare genetic disease. New AI-powered glasses are giving her the independence she hasn't had in decades.
Microsoft just perfected a way to store digital information in glass for thousands of years, potentially preserving human culture forever. The breakthrough uses lasers and ordinary glass to create nearly eternal archives.
Katharine Burr Blodgett created nonreflecting glass through meticulous experiments with thin film coatings, breaking barriers as a woman scientist. Her revolutionary discovery transformed optics and made her an overnight sensation.
A blind artist just ran 26.2 miles guided by volunteers from around the world through his smart glasses. Clarke Reynolds became the first person to complete a full marathon using Ray-Ban Meta glasses connected to the Be My Eyes app.
