Huawei Introduces Smart Eyewear in Partnership with Gentle Monster

gentle monster huawei smart glasses collab

Alongside the launch of its much-anticipated P30 flagship lineup, Huawei has pulled a fast one on everyone with the announcement of its smart glasses at its Paris event. Yeah, you heard me right, folks!

Huawei has partnered with Korean eyewear brand Gentle Monster to debut its first-ever smart eyewear product. These glasses don’t come integrated with a camera up-front, which basically means they aren’t designed to capture moments around you.

Instead, Huawei’s smart glasses come baked with electronics which make it an earbuds replacement. There’s a dual-microphone in the side of the glasses, which utilizes beam-forming technology and AI for noise reduction and crisper audio calling even in crowded locations. It also offers a stereo sound experience with the inclusion of “dual semi-open speakers” that are positioned precisely to avoid sound leaks.

The smart glasses boast a clean and minimal design, which is obviously customizable to your style choices. There are no ports and buttons anywhere around the device, but you have touchpads one either side to answer calls and bring up your AI smart assistant to tell you about the weather, traffic, and appointment updates. Since there are no ports / openings on board, Huawei’s innovative smart glasses charge via its carrying case and it uses NFC contactless wireless charging — the world’s first as boasted by the company.

Huawei hasn’t revealed any pricing information for its smart glasses, but it’s expected to become available from July later this year.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social...
