What if smart glasses became a fashion statement? That’s the bold — and ultra-stylish — bet Kering Eyewear is making by teaming up with Google. Together, they’re shaping a future where luxury and AI meet… with flair.
While Ray-Ban and Meta are leading with camera-ready frames, Kering and Google are stepping in with serious ambition. Their pitch? A premium, couture-inspired frame powered by Android XR. The goal: deliver a wearable that’s both fashionable and truly tech-savvy — fully blending into your everyday life.
Unveiled at Google I/O 2025, Android XR is Google’s new OS for extended reality devices. It features Gemini, their AI assistant, offering hyper-contextual experiences: real-time translation, guided navigation, object recognition… all triggered by voice or gesture. The result? A smooth, immersive tech layer — without compromising on style.
