Smart glasses have finally shaken off their geeky reputation. Once dismissed as ugly, clunky, laughable bits of gadgetry, today's best smart glasses are more handsome and more capable than ever before. They’re able to take photos, record video, play music, answer calls and even use AI to act as a personal assistant, all from a pair of frames that look indistinguishable from any ordinary pair of specs.
Things have come a long way since the days of Google Glass. The redemption arc of smart glasses can of course be credited to Meta's ultra-successful partnership with Ray-Ban. While the privacy concerns that dogged the Google Glass when it launched haven't disappeared, recording indicator lights and more transparent camera controls have helped ease some of the fear.
