Huawei Technologies has launched its first artificial intelligence glasses, as the Shenzhen-based tech giant joins an intensifying battle with US leader Meta and domestic peers including Alibaba Group Holding and Rokid in smart eyewear.
Priced from 2,499 yuan (US$367), the new eyewear weighed just 35.5 grams and featured various AI functions ranging from voice interaction to payments, according to a launch event on Monday.
Powered by Huawei’s self-developed chip designed for eyewear, the glasses enable users to live stream and make video calls in first-person view. With multimodal AI capabilities, they could also estimate and track food calories, and allow payments by scanning a QR code, among other functions, according to He Gang, CEO of Huawei’s consumer business.
