Intelligent eyewear is coming this fall

Google has decided to get back in on the smart glasses game. They will be launching two models later this year: one that only supports audio and one that supports video as well. It will be powered by Gemini and Nano Banana, include over-the-ear headphones, and they claim it can do all the same stuff as a phone.
