Kering Eyewear has formed a partnership with Google for the development of smart glasses.
The glasses will work with Android XR, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered operating system for headsets and glasses.
The companies suggested the smart eyewear will be designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life, featuring “intuitive, personalised AI-driven functions enabling users to engage with their environment in new and meaningful ways.”
Roberto Vedovotto, founder, president, and CEO of Kering Eyewear, said: “We are honoured to share the values of innovation and forward thinking with Google, and we are proud to partner with them to explore new horizons for the future development of our company.”
He continued: “Together, we are shaping a product that people will want to wear: a pair of masterfully designed, high-quality, stylish glasses that unlock the potential of artificial intelligence, while redefining the way of interacting with both the real and virtual worlds.”
Shahram Izadi, general manager and vice president of XR at Google, said: “Integrating our immersive XR platform with Kering Eyewear’s glasses will give consumers fashion and [the] function to get the most out of Android XR.”
