The TED talk is now freely available online. During a TED Talk, Google executives demonstrated AI glasses with an integrated miniature display. 
During a talk at the TED Humanity Reimagined conference in Vancouver, Canada, Shahram Izadi and other Google executives demonstrated a prototype pair of AI glasses.
Features of the Smart Glasses
The smart glasses look like normal glasses and have a miniature display built in, as reported by Axios. Nishta Bathia, product manager for Glasses & AI, demonstrated several use cases, including a feature called Memory, in which the Gemini AI assistant uses a built-in camera to track what the user sees and remind them where they've placed certain objects like keys. The glasses can also record, translate or transcribe conversations in real time in English or other languages such as Hindi.
Integration with Smartphone
"These glasses work with your phone, streaming back and forth, allowing the glasses to be very lightweight and access all of your phone apps," Izadi said.
Upcoming Releases
The Project Moohan mixed reality headset, set to release in 2025 and developed by Samsung, was also demonstrated. Both the headset and the smart glasses are based on the AndroidXR operating system announced last December. Google and Samsung have not yet announced a smart glasses product, but a South Korean news portal recently reported plans for a product codenamed Haean in 2025.
Future of Smart Glasses
Meta and other companies are also stepping into the smart glasses market. Meta is expected to launch smart glasses with a small display for the first time, as Bloomberg recently reported. However, these advancements may come with a higher price tag, with Meta's smart glasses expected to be priced at $1,000 or more.
