The market for AR glasses is a deeply curious one that's arguably waiting to explode into life – but HTC might have just declared a new phase. It's announced the Vive Eagle, a new set of AR sunglasses that seem primed to take on Meta's AI glasses, but without a big-name sunglasses brand to team up with.
Where Meta mainly uses Ray-Ban, HTC has instead designed its own glasses – and, to be honest, they look more than a little like Ray-Bans themselves. Crucially, they also weigh almost exactly the same as Meta's glasses, at 49g, which means they should compete on comfort and wearability.
