HTC is making headlines this August as it jumps into the smart eyewear market with the launch of Vive Eagle—an ultra-light, AI-powered pair of glasses bringing next-gen features to your face. If you thought smart specs were only about answering calls, think again. Vive Eagle packs artificial intelligence that can translate languages on the fly, offer handy reminders, and serve up daily recommendations, all from stylish eyewear weighing less than 49 grams.
A Sleek, Smart, Everyday Companion
At just under 49 grams, Vive Eagle glasses feature a minimalist frame with Zeiss UV-protected sun lenses, ergonomic nose pads, and contoured temples designed for all-day comfort. HTC’s open-ear audio system delivers spatial sound, letting you enjoy music and voice prompts while staying alert to your surroundings—a clear safety and privacy advantage that puts clunky earbuds to shame.
Power-Packed AI and Impressive Tech Specs
The Vive Eagle’s standout feature? AI voice assistance compatible with both OpenAI GPT and Google Gemini. The glasses respond hands-free to voice commands, letting users take crisp 12MP ultra-wide photos and HD video, record notes, translate signage in 13 languages—including Spanish, French, Japanese, and Arabic—and even manage reminders or find local restaurants.
Onboard tech includes a 235mAh battery offering 36 hours standby or up to 4.5 hours music playback, 4GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. Magnetic fast-charging delivers a 50% refill in just 10 minutes—ideal for a quick top-up from your phone or power bank. With IP54 water and dust resistance, these glasses are set for the real world, not just your desk.
Privacy by Design
HTC’s focus on privacy means all data is stored locally—your personal info won’t be used to train AI models. Military-grade AES-256 encryption, an LED indicator for all photo/video captures, and automatic shutdown when the device is removed make sure privacy is never an afterthought.
Competing with the Best
Currently launched in Taiwan, Vive Eagle is primed to compete with Meta’s Ray-Ban and Oakley’s smart specs. It’s available in four colors—Berry, Black, Coffee, and Grey—with pre-orders running now and sales starting September 1, 2025.
