**Lenskart to Launch AI-Powered Smart Glasses by March 2026**
Lenskart has announced plans to introduce its AI-driven smart glasses, “B by Lenskart Smart Glasses,” in the fourth quarter of the current financial year, marking its entry into a competitive market that includes major players like Apple and Meta. The company, which went public earlier this year, aims to release these innovative smart glasses by March 2026, joining a growing number of firms investing in advanced technology.
In a letter to shareholders detailing the company’s Q2 results, CEO Peyush Bansal emphasized that the smart glasses will be powered by AI and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon technology. He stated, “Our upcoming smart eyewear, ‘B by Lenskart Smart Glasses,’ is an effort to show that India can lead the next wave of consumer technology with products that are intelligent, personal, and globally relevant.”
Lenskart’s smart glasses are designed to redefine the way users experience vision and technology. The company is adopting a full-stack approach, similar to its vertically integrated model for prescription eyewear, by designing the hardware and developing the software and mobile app in-house. The AI technology will be powered by Google Gemini, allowing Lenskart to maintain control over its data ecosystem.
The first iteration of the “B by Lenskart Smart Glasses” will feature several functionalities, including:
– UPI payment capabilities
– Health monitoring with food logging and recommendations
– Photo and video capture
– Real-time object scanning and translations
– Personalized recommendations
To enhance the glasses’ functionality, Lenskart is inviting developers to collaborate and create additional features. This initiative positions Lenskart as one of the first Indian consumer tech brands to commercialize AI-driven eyewear, competing with established products like Meta’s Ray-Ban Smart Glasses, Apple Vision Pro, and Amazon Echo Frames.
In a related development, Alibaba recently launched its own smart glasses powered by Qwen AI models, featuring cameras, bone conduction microphones, and swappable batteries designed to last up to 24 hours, further intensifying competition in the smart eyewear market.
