Google has offered a glimpse into the future of wearable AI, showcasing its latest experiment, AI Glasses powered by Gemini, during a live demonstration at a recent TED Talk. The Mountain View-based company also hinted at significant upcoming upgrades to its Gemini Live voice assistant feature, further expanding its AI ecosystem beyond smartphones and desktops.
During the TED Talk, Shahram Izadi, Vice President and General Manager of Android XR at Google, presented what could be the company’s most advanced wearable prototype yet. The new AI Glasses, resembling standard prescription eyewear, come equipped with camera sensors, speakers, and a discreet display interface. Powered by Google’s Gemini AI, the glasses can see what the user sees and respond to real-time queries, like composing a haiku inspired by the facial expressions of a crowd.
