"When we talk about wearables, we are talking about things like glasses, watches, and necklaces that are not only fashion pieces, but which can actually do things. While the notion of wearing something like a smart watch that can do things like show your emails, enable your smart devices to do things, or track your heart rate has been around for a while, the difference now is that these wearables can combine with AI, agentic AI, virtual reality, and augmented reality to do much more."
"A simple such wearable is the Meta glasses. These glasses can read your text messages and allow you to take a video or picture with a touch of the temple. But you can also verbally ask the glasses questions like "what am I looking at?" or "tell me about this painting I am seeing in the museum." By combining with AI, the glasses can whisper an answer in your ear which no one else can hear."
"And that's just the beginning. I attended a panel discussion in which Resh Sidhu, the Senior Director of Innovation of Snap Inc., talked about what her company is developing. Snap is the company behind the social media tool Snapchat. Snapchat introduced the first glasses wearable back in 2016 and has been working on them ever since. Sidhu showed a short video of how future versions of Snapchat glasses could combine with AR, VR, and AI to do amazing things,"
CES attention includes wearable devices alongside agentic AI. Wearables such as glasses, watches, and necklaces are evolving from fashion to functional devices. Modern wearables combine with AI, agentic AI, augmented reality, and virtual reality to provide advanced, contextual capabilities. Examples include Meta glasses that read messages, capture media by temple touch, and answer visual queries by whispering responses. Social-media company demonstrations show future glasses aligning sports shots and acting as travel companions. Prototype necklaces show similar directions. These AI-enabled wearables raise concerns including privacy, surveillance, consent, data use, and legal liability.
