HTC has entered the AI-powered wearable space with its Vive Eagle smart glasses, now available for pre-order in Taiwan. These sleek, lightweight frames — weighing just under 49 grams — pack an array of advanced features including a 12MP ultra-wide camera, Zeiss sun lenses, and an integrated VIVE AI voice assistant compatible with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Gemini. They offer real-time image translation, hands-free commands, and immersive open-ear spatial audio.
