Samsung advances development of dual smart eyewear initiatives targeting the emerging wearable technology sector. The electronics manufacturer plans to release display-free glasses equipped with microphones, speakers, and cameras by late 2026. These devices will enable voice assistance, audio interaction, and video recording capabilities through artificial intelligence integration. The streamlined design prioritizes battery efficiency and lightweight construction for mass market adoption. Samsung internally designates this project under the codename Haean.
Google partners with Samsung on a separate augmented reality headset featuring micro-LED display technology. This collaboration aims to challenge Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest devices through enhanced visual experiences. The AR model will compete directly against premium mixed reality hardware from established technology companies. Industry analysts project the smart glasses market expansion from $25.35 billion in 2025 to exceed $1.6 trillion by 2032. Apple simultaneously develops competing eyewear products with custom silicon optimization for power efficiency and iPhone integration.
