Google launches Intelligent Eyewear collection with smart glasses from Gentle Monster and Warby Parker

Google's Gemini-powered smart glasses are here.

On Thursday morning, Google lifted the veil off the specs it announced in collaboration with Samsung over the summer. The glasses, which come in several different designs and colors courtesy of both Gentle Monster and Warby Parker, are part of a collection dubbed "Intelligent Eyewear." Perhaps most importantly, we now have price points for these glasses: Gentle Monster's start at $449, while Warby Parker's start at $395.

These glasses are available for preorder now, and will ship on Dec. 10.

Before we get into the particulars of what you can expect from the different manufacturers, all of these glasses have Gemini built in, which works with open-ear speakers that can also be used to play music, podcasts, and audiobooks. They can also pair with both Android and iOS. Naturally, there's also a 12MP camera for shooting videos and taking photos, as well as showing Gemini what the user is seeing.

Google also included an on/off switch that allegedly just turns them into normal glasses when switched to off. A small LED will also alert anyone nearby that you're shooting or recording with the camera, and those functions will not work if the LED is covered. Google is rating the battery for nine hours on a charge, but the glasses also come with charging cases to give them more juice when not in use.

On the Warby Parker side of things, you can choose from the Wren, Reid, and Alden styles, with optical and sun variants. You also get three color choices: jet black, saddle, and pine.

Meanwhile, Gentle Monster is offering six different frames in colors like pink, gray, yellow, and dark red. You can also get clear, blue, brown, or tinted lenses if you want.
