AI glasses can't replace mobile phones. Instead, they aim to "eliminate" traditional glasses.
We will all wear AI glasses in the end.
Currently, AI glasses don't aim to replace mobile phones. Instead, they rely on intelligence to "eliminate" traditional glasses.
Just in the past two months, 20 models of AI glasses have been launched in the Chinese market. Among them, there are large companies such as Baidu, Lenovo, and Quark (Alibaba), as well as startups like Rokid and Yingmu Technology, and traditional eyewear manufacturers like BOLON and Libai (Huiming Eyewear).
If there's one thing these AI glasses with diverse backgrounds have in common, it's that they've found their target users: those who wear glasses daily. In other words, AI glasses have found their product fulcrum: to make a good pair of glasses first.
In the news of these glasses' launches, many people mentioned a promising picture in interviews: Currently, there are 500 million mobile phone users globally, while there are 2 billion people who wear glasses.
