Warby Parker Smart Glasses: Pre-Orders Start Nov 12
6 Nov
Summary
- Warby Parker's Intelligent Eyewear collection pre-orders begin November 12.
- The smart glasses will run an audio-focused version of Android XR.
- Google is partnering with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster for smart glasses.
Pre-orders for Warby Parker's new Intelligent Eyewear collection are set to open on November 12. This upcoming line of smart glasses will run an audio-focused version of Google's Android XR platform. The devices will include cameras and offer quick access to Google's Gemini AI assistant.
Google is collaborating with both Warby Parker and Gentle Monster for this initiative, with Gentle Monster also planning to release Intelligent Eyewear this fall. While details on pricing remain undisclosed, customers can schedule in-store demonstrations. The exact launch date for Gentle Monster's designs has not been confirmed beyond a general fall availability.
This launch follows Google's 2025 announcement of its partnerships. The new glasses will leverage Android XR, which technically debuted in 2025 with the Samsung Galaxy XR. However, the user experience for these smart glasses may differ significantly from that earlier mixed-reality device. The broader market reception could be influenced by growing public caution regarding wearable cameras, a sentiment amplified by past issues with similar devices.
