Google was the first company to develop virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) glasses. And while it wasn’t much of a success, it paved the way for innovations to come along that were more advanced, cheaper and looked better on a person’s face.
And because of technology innovation, numerous companies have entered the smart glasses field including consumer electronics and telecom equipment vendor Huawei.
Huawei’s Eyewear 2 smart glasses look like normal glasses that millions of people use daily. However, these allow for connection to smartphones through Bluetooth to receive calls and texts. While VR/AR capabilities remain outside of the functions the device can do, future iterations of these smart glasses will likely include this technology.
The following is a partial deep dive into the Huawei Eyewear 2 conducted by TechInsights.
