Google is releasing its fresh model of smart glasses with Google Partners With Warby Parker and Kering Eyewear. At the Google I/O developer conference in 2025, this collaboration shows off Android XR-powered Google Glass with Google’s Gemini AI assistant, including capabilities for translation, directions and showing details on top of what you see.
Partnership Between Tech Businesses and Fashion Brands
Google’s technology is joined by Warby Parker’s and Kering’s expertise in design. Smart glasses are being improved by contributions from Warby Parker, whose frames are both high-quality and economical, and Kering, who owns Gucci and Saint Laurent. The challenge is to produce eyewear that is up-to-date technologically and pleasing to people who care about style.
What the Platform Offers

Organization Stands on the Market and Competitors
Google returned to the smart glasses market when Google Glass, which first appeared in 2013, was discontinued in 2023 due to complaints about the design and privacy. As a result, Google is now taking on Meta, whose Ray-Ban smart glasses have slowly grown in popularity with more than two million pairs already sold since 2023.
What Lies Ahead and Future Investment
Google Partners With Warby Parker, with Google offering up to $150 million to fund joint work and the growth of new products. This major expenditure demonstrates Google’s goal of playing a big role in the wearable tech industry.
Experts expect that the final version of the smart glasses will launch after 2025, thanks to more work being done on how AI and AR technology can be smoothly integrated and how the design will meet expectations from users.
Overall, this collaboration means Google is connecting top-notch technology with top-notch fashion to try and create a new type of smart glasses that will be both novel and attractive to buyers.
