The time is (almost) nigh for Samsung\u2019s first pair of smart glasses. According to its design partner, Warby Parker, you\u2019ll be able to preorder Samsung\u2019s smart glasse\u2014er, \u201cintelligent eyewear\u201d\u2014starting Nov. 12. On that same day. The brand said it will reveal all of the styles, including different lenses, colors, and more.<\/p>\n

Warby Parker Co-CEO Dave Gilboa also confirmed in an earnings report some news that bubbled up earlier this week, which is that Samsung\u2019s smart glasses will go on sale officially in December.<\/p>\n

Confirmation of the preorder and launch window isn\u2019t exactly the most groundbreaking news, but it is significant because of how long the wind-up period has been for Samsung\u2019s smart glasses. For context, they were announced all the way back in May and officially unveiled in late July.<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve said before, Samsung and Google\u2019s line of intelligent eyewear is entering the smart glasses game with interesting timing. While smart glasses are technically more popular than ever before, they\u2019re also more loathed, and the results of that aversion are starting to become palpable.<\/p>\n

Social attitudes towards smart glasses have turned thanks to pushback from celebrities like Lorde and real-life stories of people misusing the devices, and in turn, regulators are starting to intervene. That pushback has been most stark in Europe, with a national ban currently on the table in Norway and a citywide ban in certain areas recently enacted in Hamburg, Germany. <\/p>\n

While U.S. regulations have been less sweeping, senators sent a formal letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week asking questions about the company\u2019s privacy practices and safeguards, especially as it pertains to data collected for AI training.<\/p>\n

Maybe Samsung and Google will sidestep scrutiny just by virtue of the fact they\u2019re not Meta, and they don\u2019t have the baggage that comes with that name, but there\u2019s also a chance that they too get swept up in the smart glasses backlash. Either way, it looks like we\u2019ll find out sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n
