They were not the first, the finish line or the industry, but we can agree that the Meta Ray-Ban are being the first real commercial success of the smart glasses. An iconic design, well -solved useful functions and a reasonable Price.
Goal understood that the trick was not to curl the curl, but in Make technology discreetly integrate into a daily productand later, when he could include goal AI, that the AI was invisible while we are looking for information or captured moments. It worked.
The Xiaomi replica, who has just launched its Glasses in its own way (between a vacuum and a car), is very different. Goal he saw a premium gadget for creators and early adopters. Also for those who get ready, what are we going to do.
Xiaomi has focused its glasses in another way: See in them the control center of your digital life. In the presentation they showed the classic comparative with the Ray-Ban Meta as a rival to beat, but not only compete against other glasses, they also compete with your smartphone as the main device.
The difference is in the ecosystem. The finish lines are great to take photos and videos from our point of view, or to use as headphones without it seems to do it. Also to consult the goal AI. But there ends its story.
Xiaomi glasses promise other things. From controlling your air conditioning to start your electric car, manage video calls or translate conversations in real time (someday). All from the same device you wear.
The goal ray-ban we loved from minute 1 with them in the head, but Here we see the difference between creating a good product and creating a platform. Xiaomi is committed to something more risky: convince you that glasses can replace much of what you do with the mobile.
If the bet goes well and the product works, Xiaomi will have created something bigger than good smart glasses. You will have created the first glasses that become really indispensable for its users. As much as the mobile today.
