Xiaomi has launched new smart glasses, its first new smart eye wearable device, on September 14. Designed like regular sunglasses, the Xiaomi Smart Glasses are embedded with sensors, and its imaging system is capable of enabling several smart features, including navigation and real-time text translation. Weighing around 51 grams, the smart glasses integrate a new MicroLED optical waveguide technology to display messages and notifications in front of a user’s eyes.
Xiaomi introduced the smart glasses after Facebook’s recently launched Ray-Ban Stories smart classes. This means the new Xiaomi smart glasses will compete with Facebook’s Ray-Ban stories.

Looks of Xiaomi Smart Glasses
Wherein Facebook has given the Ray-Ban Stories the classic Wayfarer frames, Xiaomi has provided a squarish frame with a band running on top of its smart glasses. The band of Xiaomi Smart Glasses is slightly thick, laden with sensors. As the glasses adopt the MicroLED imaging technology to lower the design space, it has got a structural design. The company claims that MicroLEDs have a higher pixel density and a simple structure, which allows for a more compact display and easier screen integration.
