Baidu to unveil AI smart glasses to rival Meta’s Ray-Bans

Baidu is preparing to launch its AI-powered smart glasses to compete with Meta’s successful Ray-Ban smart glasses.

The new product is anticipated to debut at the Baidu World event in Shanghai next week. Market availability is possibly expected by early 2025.

These smart glasses will include cameras for capturing media. They will also be equipped with Baidu’s Ernie AI model for voice interactions.

The glasses will integrate with Baidu’s existing services, such as Baidu Maps and Baike.
