The market is about to get crowded. 2026 brings a flood of new wearable tech and Acer just decided it belongs in there too. Announced Friday. Two models arriving later this year. One resembles the Meta Ray-Bans. The other fits the TCL, Xreal, or Viture mold—plug-in displays for your face.
The display glasses
Meet the AR Vision GR0. They cost $500 and promise “augmented reality” which mostly means they function like headphones for your eyes 🎧. Inside you’ll find 1080p Micro-OLED displays and speakers. They weigh 69 grams, which sits right around the industry average. But don’t expect fancy customization. Unlike Xreal or Viture there is no word on adjusting how those images look to you.
Is a $500 price tag really worth it when TCL charges just $300?
Other companies offer display glasses for $300 already. Acer asks you to pay double. Why?
The camera glasses
The second option costs less, but looks heavier. The $300 G10 comes with cameras, mics, and speakers—no screens attached. It runs an AI assistant “powered by Google Gemini.” That phrasing is important. It implies a custom layer sitting on top of Gemini, similar to what Rokid offers. Not full access. Not like what Google plans for its own glasses later.
You manage the glasses via the AspireSync app on iOS or Android. Simple enough. Yet the early photos reveal a design problem. They look chunky. Bulky even compared to the competition.
So there it sits. Acer is in. Two products. One pricey display pair. One clunky camera pair. We wait for them to land in the market to see if form ever follows function.
