GOOGLE x GENTLE MONSTER Intelligent Eyewear Partnership Unveiled

Gentle Monster has unveiled its new intelligent eyewear, designed in partnership with Google and Samsung, at today's "Google I/O 2026" event.

This product is designed to provide users with seamless support while keeping them connected to the real world. This first-ever intelligent eyewear collection from Gentle Monster includes audio glasses equipped with voice assistant features, which are scheduled to be released this autumn. Specific target regions will be announced in the future.

Built on Samsung's innovative product technology and hardware engineering, the device features built-in speakers, a camera, and a microphone. Users can seamlessly enjoy functions such as music playback, calls, and photography.

Furthermore, through integration with Google Gemini, users can access a variety of functions, including context-aware information retrieval, turn-by-turn navigation, and real-time translation. It also allows complex tasks, such as photo editing and delivery ordering, to be completed solely via voice commands.

To ensure these audio glasses blend naturally into daily life, balancing style with comfortable wear is essential. Therefore, Google and Samsung collaborated with Gentle Monster, a partner capable of creating original and style-conscious designs that can be naturally incorporated into everyday wear.

At today's "Google I/O 2026," the initial designs by Gentle Monster were showcased, with the full collection scheduled for release later this year.

Gentle Monster brings a sophisticated approach focused on fashion to the wearable technology category, introducing a new sensibility to the existing market. The frames are crafted to seamlessly blend Gentle Monster's signature bold aesthetic with functionality.
