Considering the back-to-back development of sophisticated smart glasses from tech giants like Meta, Google and Samsung, one might wonder as to the point of a plethora of smart glasses churned out every now and then.
But a sufficient answer to this curiosity is the efficiency-driven evolution, something which the TikTok owner, ByteDance, has apparently implemented at the heart of its upcoming smart glasses equipped with artificial intelligence (AI).
It was brought to light by Android Headlines that the Chinese tech titan, leading the world of video platforms with TikTok, is developing its own pair of AI smart glasses.
The one and only clue we have our hands on is that ByteDance's AI smart glasses just entered the development phase as the company has hired “engineers with experience in hardware design” to develop the glasses.
TikTok maker's smart glasses' arrival intersects with countless other brands deeply engaged in bringing about their own smart glasses, likely at the cost of undermining and outshining the competitors.
The short video platform owner has been head-to-toe invested in AI development over the past few years, and a considerable fraction of this is also covered by its AI video generation model.
There's been no disclosure of how deep TikTok's smart glasses have reached in production, what they'd be called, how costly they’ll launch, or their launch timeline.
