On the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung revealed more details about its upcoming Galaxy Glasses smart glasses, which aim to provide an integrated user experience by combining a camera, artificial intelligence, and direct connection to a smartphone. The glasses come equipped with a camera mounted at eye level, enabling artificial intelligence technologies to understand what the user sees and analyze this information in real time, passing the data directly to the phone to be processed and providing useful, personalized notifications or information depending on the context of use.
Ji Kim, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile division, explained that the primary goal is to enhance the devices' ability to deliver integrated smart content, leveraging the company's other devices such as smartwatches and mobile phones, indicating that Galaxy Glasses will not have their own display screen, but will rely on the screens available on connected devices to display information when needed. The smart glasses are expected to be launched this year, entering into fierce competition with similar products such as Meta Oakley smart glasses, with the promise of a smart experience close to the user, integrating vision, hearing, and instant interaction.
For his part, Cristiano Amon, CEO of Qualcomm, described smart glasses as a very promising experience, being close to our eyes, ears, and mouths, and expected to offer integrated smart experiences based on artificial intelligence to enhance lifestyle and interaction with everyday devices in a more flexible and seamless way. This development signals Samsung's move toward expanding the use of artificial intelligence in wearable devices, with a focus on providing practical functions that help users interact with their surroundings easily and effectively, without having to rely entirely on large screens or additional devices.
In this way, Galaxy Glasses represent a new step for Samsung in the smart wearable device sector, offering an advanced experience based on artificial intelligence and direct connection to smartphones, with the promise of multiple possibilities for real-time data analysis. This makes them a strong competitor in the rapidly evolving smart glasses market and confirms the trend toward integrating technology more naturally into users' daily lives.
