Samsung, Qualcomm and Google team up on mixed reality smart glasses

Qualcomm has teaming up with Samsung and Google on a pair of mixed reality smart glasses.

The tech tech giants announced their partnership last year, and now Qualcomm's boss has opened up plans for a wearable device which links to the user's smartphone.

CEO Cristian AMon told CNBC News: "It's going to be a new product."

He added: "What I really expect to come out of this partnership, I want everyone that has a phone to go buy companion glasses to go along with it.

“I think we need to get to the point that the glasses are going to be no different than wearing a regular glasses or sunglasses. And then with that, we can get scale.”

The partnership was first announced in February last year, but the companies didn't reveal what they were working on together.

Qualcomm worked with Ray-Ban on last year's Meta Smart Glasses, which use the company's Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip.

Amon was "incredibly pleased" with the product, and he insisted that generative artificial intellgence was the "ingredient that was missing" to help the mixed reality market grow.

He added: "AI is going to run on the device. It’s going to run on the cloud.

“It’s going to run some in the glass, some in the phone, but at the end of the day, there’s going to be whole new experiences.”
