Summary
Google has opened preorders for intelligent eyewear collections made with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The glasses combine Gemini assistance with navigation, translation, audio and camera features.
Google said preorders opened on Nov. 12, 2026, for two intelligent eyewear collections developed with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker. The glasses pair everyday frames with Gemini features including hands-free assistance, spoken directions, language translation and visual descriptions. Google says they work with Pixel and Samsung phones, as well as iPhones.
Two collections, with different designs and prices
Gentle Monster’s collection includes six designs in bold colours, with tinted or clear lens options. Prescription lenses are available for most frames. Prices start at $449, and the collection is listed for the United States and South Korea.
Warby Parker’s collection has three styles—Alden, Reid and Wren—with optical and sun versions. Prices start at $395, and buyers can choose from different colours, prescription options, widths and lenses. Warby Parker says the collection is available through its website and offers guided demonstrations at more than 360 of its retail locations.
Google describes the glasses as weighing around 41 grams, with battery life of up to nine hours. Each pair includes a portable charging case that can recharge the frames up to seven times.
Gemini assistance, audio and camera features
Gemini can respond to voice commands or a tap on the frames, drawing on Google apps and services for tasks such as checking calendar availability from an event poster, adding something in view to a grocery list or asking about a nearby artwork. Google Maps provides turn-by-turn directions through the glasses, while Google Translate offers spoken translation with automatic language detection across more than 70 languages.
A feature called Guided Vision provides conversational audio descriptions. Google presents it as an aid for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as for tasks such as reading small print or locating everyday items. The glasses can also connect users to Aira: a spoken request opens a camera stream for a professionally trained human visual interpreter.
For media and communication, the frames have open-ear speakers and support music services, audiobooks, messages and calls. Their integrated 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera can take photos and videos by button press or voice command. Google says the camera system includes HDR processing, image stabilisation and spatial-audio capture.
Google says camera visuals used by Gemini are not saved in Gemini History, used to train AI models or used to target ads. It also says bystanders’ faces are automatically redacted from these visuals before Gemini processes them, and that data stored on the glasses and sent from them is encrypted. These are the company’s stated design and privacy protections for a device that can capture and process views of its surroundings.
