Baidu is set to unveil a pair of smart glasses equipped with a built-in AI assistant at its upcoming annual event in Shanghai. This development marks a significant step for the Chinese tech giant, often referred to as the 'Google of China.'
The smart glasses will feature integrated cameras for photos and videos, a microphone for voice interactions, and will utilize Baidu's advanced Ernie large language model. Pricing is expected to be lower than Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses, which retail at $300.
What sets Baidu's offering apart is its focus on seamless integration with the company's existing Internet-connected services, potentially enhancing user engagement and driving revenue through innovative applications of augmented reality and AI.
