GOOGLE'S AI GLASSES ARE COMING IN 2026 - AND THIS TIME, THEY SWEAR IT’S NOT GOOGLE GLASS 2.0
Remember Google Glass? The futuristic face accessory that made you look like a cyborg barista and died somewhere between "too early" and "too weird"? Well, Google wants you to forget all that. Because in 2026, they're trying again, this time with AI, partnerships, and way cooler frames.
The company just announced it’ll launch its first AI-powered glasses next year, joining the “please put this computer on your face” race alongside Meta, Snap, and every other tech giant trying to turn your sunglasses into a chatbot.
There’ll be two versions:
1. Audio-only glasses with Google’s Gemini assistant whispering sweet data into your ears.
2. Display glasses that show you stuff like directions, live translations, and, presumably, passive-aggressive calendar alerts.
This time around, Google says it’s got better AI, actual partners who understand fashion, and an operating system (Android XR) that won’t crash when you try to read a map while walking into traffic.
Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses already beat them to market and are surprisingly popular, so Google has something to prove. And since everyone’s now obsessed with AI doing everything but blinking for you, the timing might actually work.
The real question: Will anyone actually want a pair of glasses that talks back?
We’ll find out in 2026, assuming they don’t get delayed, quietly canceled, or rebranded into another experimental product graveyard.
