As each day goes buy, science fiction inches closer to science fact. We’re already seeing companies come out with smart glasses, which are something right out of a James Bond film. Well, here’s a pair of smart glasses that just might revolutionize the market. A company called Looktech just unveiled its new AI Glasses, and these should be your next smart glasses.
What do the Looktech AI Glasses have to offer?
There are already smart glasses on the market, with brands like Meta releasing some compelling pairs. So, how will the Looktech AI Glasses stand out? For starters, they look amazing. One issue that smart glasses makers face is fitting all of their advanced tech into a casual pair of glasses. Well, the AI Glasses come close to resembling a regular pair of glasses. All of the tech sits within the glasses’ temples, and they’re pretty sleek. Most people won’t be able to tell that you’re wearing smart glasses.
The rim just makes them look like a stylish pair of glasses, and they’ll add a visual flair to your visage. All in all, Looktech crafted a beautiful device.
Now, let’s talk hardware
Being smart glasses, these are full to the brim with some exciting technology. At the top of the list, these come with a 13MP camera on the front. It’s perfect for taking pictures of whatever you see. It has anti-shake technology that stabilizes the shot, so you can expect some clear images. Not only can it take photos, but it can also take videos at up to 2K resolution. So, you’ll be able to record highly-detailed videos.
There’s also a microphone that you can use for voice commands. Not only that, but you can use the microphone to take phone calls. This eliminates the need to take your phone out of your pocket.
You’ll want to record a ton of videos and take a bunch of pictures, so this is why there’s 32GB of storage on these glasses. Sure, 32GB isn’t much by smartphone standards, but it’s not being bogged down by a hefty operating system. So, you’ll have some substantial room for media. Just know that, if you’re recording a bunch of videos at 2K resolution, you’ll likely run out of storage.
The AI Glasses are compatible with Bluetooth 5.4, which is the newest Bluetooth standard. This means that you can count on seamless connectivity. Along with that, they’re compatible with Wi-Fi 6.
Looktech fitted these glasses a with a big enough battery to power them for up to 14 hours on a single charge. Your mileage will vary depending on your usage, but 14 hours is nothing to sneeze at. That will get you through a long work day.
We can’t forget about AI!
AI is in these glasses’ name, so of course there’s some powerful AI technology backing them up. The AI Glasses come with an AI-powered digital assistant named Memo. To summon it, all you have to do is say “Hey Memo”. The assistant will be able to perform different tasks at your command. Ask it to take a note, get directions, set reminders, and more
Memo is the gateway to powerful AI models. In fact, you’ll be able to access OpenAI’s GPT-4o, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude. Using these models, you’ll be able to remember names, generate text, translate text, set reminders, answer question, and much more.
Since you’re dealing with some powerful multimodal models, you’ll be able to ask Memo questions about what the camera sees in the real world. You’ll be able to translate text, search up objects you see, and more.
The functionalities extend to the dedicated mobile app. Compatible with both Android 10+ and iOS 15+, you can use the app to edit your videos using AI tools, use the plant detection feature, and count your calories. That’s right, you can use the glasses to see how many calories are in your food.

The Looktech AI Glasses officially launched on Kickstarter. Early backers can get them for $209, which is a fair asking price for what you’re getting. There’s even an exclusive VIP offer that knocks the price down to $199.
