HTC brings its smart glasses to the US as privacy backlash grows

The HTC Vive Eagle let users have voice interactions with artificial intelligence assistants from Alphabet Inc’s Google and OpenAI. — HTC

HTC Corp is rolling out its Vive Eagle smart glasses in the US, entering a market where category leader Meta Platforms Inc is already facing mounting concerns from consumers over clandestine camera recording.

The US$499 (RM2,017) glasses, which let users have voice interactions with artificial intelligence assistants from Alphabet Inc’s Google and OpenAI, go on sale Sept 3 with immediate shipping. They come in two styles: a rounded "Pantos” frame and a Wayfarer-style design. They’re being offered in several colours, including black, brown, red and blue. HTC’s pricing is in line with several models of the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, but still more expensive than Meta’s self-branded pairs that went on sale in June for US$299 (RM1,208).

HTC Vive Eagle 让用户能够与 Alphabet 旗下 Google 和 OpenAI 的人工智能助手进行语音交互。—— HTC

HTC 公司正在美国推出其 Vive Eagle 智能眼镜，进入该市场。而该领域的领导者 Meta Platforms 公司已经面临着消费者对秘密摄像头录像日益增长的担忧。

这款售价 499 美元（约合 2017 马来西亚林吉特）的眼镜将于 9 月 3 日正式发售，并提供即刻发货服务。用户可通过这款眼镜与 Alphabet 旗下 Google 和 OpenAI 的人工智能助手进行语音交互。眼镜有两种款式：圆形“Pantos”镜框和 Wayfarer 款式。颜色方面，提供黑色、棕色、红色和蓝色等多种选择。HTC 的定价与 Ray-Ban Meta 系列的部分眼镜型号相近，但仍高于 Meta 于 6 月上市的自有品牌眼镜（售价 299 美元，约合 1208 马来西亚林吉特）。

由于担心盗版，英国“许多”电影院禁止使用Meta眼镜。
