Preorders Open November 12 for Warby Parker’s Android XR Glasses
You can try the Gemini glasses in 65 Warby Parker stores the week of November 9. The first pairs are due in mid-December.
Warby Parker will reveal its full Intelligent Eyewear collection (opens in a new tab), including prices, when preorders open Thursday, November 12.
On Warby Parker’s November 5 earnings call (opens in a new tab), co-CEO Dave Gilboa said deliveries will start in mid-December. If you wear prescription lenses, you can order them from day one. Warby will also offer sun lenses and lenses that darken outdoors.
Where to try a pair
If your store isn’t among the first 65, check again the week of November 16. Warby plans to expand demos to more than 360 locations then.
Enter your city or ZIP code on Warby Parker’s demo booking page (opens in a new tab) to find an appointment near you.
Live translation is part of the demo Warby has been testing. Co-CEO Neil Blumenthal said the company is training some of its Spanish-, Polish-, and Korean-speaking staff to let shoppers hear it in person.
What you’ll hear through the glasses
These Android XR glasses have no display. Ask Gemini for walking directions and you’ll hear the next turn through the speakers in the frames. Look at a sign in another language and Gemini can read the translation to you. The glasses can also take photos, record video, and play music.
Google says (opens in a new tab) the glasses pair with both iPhones and Android phones.
