Warby Parker has entered the AI wearables market with its new Intelligent Eyewear line, developed in collaboration with Google and Samsung. The devices, which operate on the Android XR platform and feature Google Gemini, were unveiled in New York City on November 9, 2026.
The glasses are available in three styles—Alden, Reid, and Wren—with pricing starting at $395. Pre-orders commenced on November 12, 2026, and retail availability is set for December 10, 2026. Customers can access in-store demonstrations at more than 360 Warby Parker locations.
The hardware includes a 12MP camera and open-ear audio, but lacks a visual display. The device supports both Android and iOS systems. Co-CEOs Dave Gilboa and Neil Blumenthal identified the product as a significant growth opportunity, citing rising demand for AI-integrated wearables.
To address privacy concerns, the glasses feature an LED indicator that activates during camera use. Furthermore, the company has prohibited the use of visual data for AI training or advertising, and restricted third-party applications from utilizing facial recognition technology.
