Google commits $150M to develop AI glasses with Warby Parker


Google is committing up to $150 million in Warby Parker to develop smart glasses powered by Gemini, and is investing in the eyewear company.

Google has already committed $75 million to Warby Parker’s product development and commercialization costs, the companies said in a press release. Google says it will invest an additional $75 million, taking an equity stake in Warby Parker, should the eyewear manufacturer meet certain milestones. It seems likely that Google will have a similar relationship with Warby Parker, taking advantage of the eyewear company’s popular frame designs and perhaps its retail stores.
