Xiaomi is set to officially launch the frames on Thursday evening at an event titled “Human x Car x Home”, during which it will unveil the price of the glasses in addition to other products, including its latest foldable smartphone and its first SUV.
In one of two videos Xiaomi released teasing the smart glasses, the camera-equipped frames could “see and recognise” objects around the user and answer questions using generative AI. Examples in the video showed the wearer asking the glasses to identify a plant, estimate the calories of a meal and explain what capybaras eat.
Despite the lack of pricing or specifications ahead of Xiaomi’s event, the AI glasses have been highly anticipated by consumers. Local media reports last year revealed that the company planned to launch the frames this year.
Meta’s smart glasses are currently the most popular of their kind, accounting for more than 60 per cent of the global AI glasses market last year, according to market consultancy Counterpoint.
