Samsung and Google have partnered with Warby Parker to develop new smart glasses. The companies officially announced the project in May, followed by a formal presentation of the device in late July.
Warby Parker confirmed that pre-orders for the wearable device will open on November 12. Retail sales of the product are scheduled to begin in December.
The launch occurs amidst public concern regarding privacy and the potential for unauthorized recording. Critics, including public figures, have raised alarms about the device's integrated camera and microphone.
Regulatory scrutiny is increasing, particularly in Europe. Norway is considering a national ban, while specific areas in Hamburg, Germany, have already implemented restrictions on wearing smart glasses in public transport and swimming pools.
