Google opens preorders for Gemini AI glasses with privacy features
According to The Rundown AI, on 13 November Google opened preorders for its Gemini-powered AI glasses, priced from $395, and highlighted privacy-focused features such as face-redaction and data-control limits. The glasses were unveiled at Google I/O in Mountain View, where Google, Samsung, Gentle Monster and Warby Parker presented the 41-gram, 12-MP camera device with open-ear speakers and a recording LED that disables capture when covered, according to Ars Technica. Engadget reported that Warby Parker announced pre-orders for the Google-powered eyewear on 12 November, with deliveries slated for the holiday season.
The Verge said the glasses integrate Gemini AI for real-time translation and broader privacy controls, positioning them against Meta’s Ray-Ban offerings. Help Net Security noted that the devices automatically redact faces and enforce strict data-handling rules to protect bystanders.
