Warby Parker's collection starts at $395 with three designs, while Gentle Monster starts at $449 with six frames.
The glasses feature Google's Gemini AI via Android XR platform, with key privacy protections including automatic facial redaction, ambient noise filtering, and opt-in permissions for camera and mic access.
