What are smart glasses?

Smart glasses combine a normal-looking frame with a camera, microphone, AI assistant, and sometimes a built-in display — putting information in front of your eyes instead of in your hand. They're the fastest-growing category we distribute, and the one most people have the most questions about. Here's a short guide.

What they're used for

Real-time translation

Real-time translation

Live captions of a conversation appear directly in your field of view, in 90+ languages on some models — no phone, no earpiece.

Hands-free navigation

Hands-free navigation

Turn-by-turn directions overlaid on the real world, so you look up instead of down at a screen.

A private, giant screen

A private, giant screen

AR display glasses project a virtual screen — up to 200+ inches — for video, work, or gaming, visible only to the wearer.

Meeting notes & teleprompter

Meeting notes & teleprompter

Automatic transcription and an on-lens teleprompter keep you present in the room instead of behind a laptop.

Three kinds of smart glasses

AR Display Glasses

Glasses with a built-in micro-display that projects a virtual screen over your vision — for entertainment, gaming, and productivity. Usually tethered to a phone, console, or laptop.

Xreal, Viture, RayNeo, Rokid Max

AI Glasses (non-display)

Everyday-looking eyewear with a camera, microphone, and AI assistant, but no screen — built for voice interaction, translation, and hands-free capture rather than visuals.

Spatial & Mixed Reality

Higher-end headsets or glasses with spatial tracking, letting digital objects anchor to real-world space rather than just floating in front of you.
