Warby Parker has partnered with Google to develop artificial intelligence-powered glasses.
Google has committed up to $75 million for Warby Parker's product development and commercialization costs, as well as an equity investment of up to $75 million, Warby Parker said Tuesday.
The companies intend to launch a series of products over time, with their first line of intelligent eyewear expected to launch after 2025. The line will incorporate multimodal AI with prescription and non-prescription lenses, Warby Parker said.
"Looking ahead, we believe multimodal AI is perfectly suited for glasses, enabling real-time context and intelligence to augment a wearer's surroundings as they move through the world," Co-Chief Executive Dave Gilboa said.
The smart glasses will be launched on the Android XR platform, an operating system for headsets and glasses, Google's Vice President of XR Shahram Izadi said.
The announcement marks the first eyewear partnership for Android XR, Warby Parker said.
