Almost 2 billion people wear glasses. Mark Zuckerberg thinks most of them will soon be AI glasses. But if your glasses can see and hear everything, what about the people around you?
This week on T-Flash, Dennis Xie looks at the fast-growing AI glasses market: who's buying, who's winning, and what it means for privacy.
▶ Meta holds 68.7% of the AI glasses market (IDC, Q2 2026). Can anyone catch up?
▶ How AI glasses help a visually impaired runner finish a marathon, and glasses built for people with low vision
▶ Would you trust AI to guide you across a busy street?
▶ Taiwan's players: HTC's VIVE Eagle, Acer's wearable screens, and Jorjin's eye-tracking tech inside the frames
