Google takes a page out of Meta’s book, announces new audio-powered smart glasses at IO 2026

Google has announced new 'audio glasses' at IO 2026, enabling users to interact with Google's ecosystem through voice commands. The device appears to be Google's response to Meta's smart glasses, focusing on audio interaction rather than visual displays.

Background

Smart glasses have been an emerging category in wearable technology, with companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) leading the charge with their Ray-Ban Stories and subsequent models. Google previously attempted smart glasses with Google Glass but shifted focus to enterprise applications.
