As we grow ever closer to a completely digitalized world, so too do the accessories we equip on a daily basis. We might not notice this often but our phones, watches, earbuds and now even glasses contribute to an individualized ecosystem that revolves around making our lives easier. Smart glasses got their first actual representation all the way back in 2013 with the introduction of Google Glass. A device that didn’t live to see the light of day but ingrained the seeds of innovation for later.

Fast forward to today, we have various companies having their go with smart glasses and coming up with spectacles of all shapes and sizes that have innovation imbued in them. We’re excited to share these smart ocular devices with you but before we get into the meat of our listicle, please know that most of these glasses will require an internet connection to get off the ground.

For this, consider setting up yourself with a globally recognized company such as AT&T, one that can provide reliability and speed on the go. All you need to do to avail of their service is reach out to the AT&T Customer Service Number and get sorted in a few easy steps.

Now, without further ado, let’s check out the heralds of ocular awesomeness.

Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses

Kicking off this list with the best, we have the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses- the result of an ambitious collaboration between Meta and Ray-Ban. These glasses have been constructed in the iconic Wayfarer style, something that fans of Ray-Ban will come to appreciate. Coming in as an upgrade to the Stories series, these glasses have been pumped with better hardware but at the same time shed some weight.

To tantalize the potential buyer, over 150 lens and frame combinations are available with many traditional as well as experimental presets available at the customer’s behest. The smart glasses come with an IPX4 rating, meaning they’re protected from the occasional or accident water splashes and there’s a dedicated camera on either corner of the frames which people can utilize to take pictures or shoot videos. Provided you have a Meta account.

Carrera Smart Glasses

The more classy, Alexa-friendly option in our list. The Carrera Smart Glasses ooze class with their Cruiser-style frame and black overall theme. For those of you who don’t know, Carrera has been a long-standing fashion brand famous for making eyewear for celebrities and fashionistas since 1956.

The company has specifically designed these glasses for those who’d like to keep a low profile and go about their work. Or, those who want to cop them for their oversized frame and block out potential paparazzi coming their way. The thicker arms on each side host a couple of microphones and speakers that can last up to six hours on a single charge. Audiophiles would love these for their style and functionality.

Razer Anzu Smart Glasses

There’s a significant population in the world that needs glasses to protect their eyes from the computer screen. Extended amounts of time spent working, or gaming can only be sustained through glasses that filter out light and reduce strain. Enter the Razer Anzu Smart Glasses that offer outdoor as well as indoor eye protection. These glasses come with clear blue light and dark polarized lenses that can be utilized whether you’re sitting in a room and glaring at a screen or driving your car to work early/late in the day.

Razer has been generous enough to throw in speakers, omnidirectional microphones, and touch controls on the arms to project accessibility as a priority. A low latency Bluetooth connection helps keep a stable connectivity and the inclusion of assistants such as Google Assistance and Siri helps with operating the glasses when your hands are occupied while gaming.

Bose Frames Tempo

Built for those who like to live a sporty lifestyle. A wraparound shape ensures that the glasses will stay on regardless of whether you’re bouncing, running, or cycling. The frames are tough, polarized, and are made to withstand the weather. Bose includes three sizes of nose pads to ensure that you get a snug fit according to your liking. Put these babies on and go about your business without the scare that they’ll drop off your face.

Xreal Air AR Glasses

Seldom do you get a device that combines the best of both worlds. Xreal Air AR Glasses have built-in AR capabilities along with dual 1080p screens on the inside. Granted the display is a bit huge but if someone is getting an entire theatre in the shape of glasses, they wouldn’t complain much about the size.

Conclusion

That’s a wrap on all we have for smart glasses. Remember that the above picks will be going up on sale sooner or later so it’s wise to keep an eye on their availability and nab them from store shelves whenever the time is right. Good luck!
