Sleek, smart, and ready to steal the spotlight—HTC just dropped the VIVE Eagle, a pair of AI glasses that look like they walked straight out of a tech daydream. Think Ray-Ban Meta vibes, but with a fresh twist—these babies come in cool translucent shades like Berry and Coffee, not just boring black.
And with Zeiss UV400 lenses, your eyes stay safe whether you’re dodging sunbeams or squinting at your crush across the café. They’re not standalone heroes though; you’ll need an iPhone 17.6+ or Android 10+ buddy, plus the Vive Connect app, to reveal the full magic.
AI Integration is where the Eagle flexes hard. Powered by a Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip, 4GB RAM, and on-device smarts, it’s like having a tiny genius living in your frames. The 12MP ultra-wide camera snaps 3024 × 4032 px pics, and videos hit 1512 × 2016 px—decent for capturing your dog’s mid-air pancake catch.
The HTC Vive Eagle packs a Snapdragon AR1 chip, 4GB RAM, and a 12MP camera—making every moment, even your dog’s pancake catch, instantly legendary.
Say “Hey VIVE, take a photo,” and boom, instant meme material. Voice-activated capture? Check. Horizon alignment? Also check. It even does real-time translation in 13 languages, turning your “¿Dónde está el baño?” into instant audio gold without phoning home.
But here’s the tea: Privacy Concerns are huge with smart glasses—nobody wants a robo-stalker on their face. HTC‘s playing it smart, encrypting data and promising it won’t sell or use your info for AI training. That’s a relief, honestly. Imagine your grocery list being used to train a robot chef without your say—awkward.
Audio-wise, open-ear speakers pump bassy tunes without leaking sound like a broken boombox. Four microphones—some directional, some “hey, I hear that too”—keep calls crisp.
Battery life? Around 4.5 hours of music, 3+ hours of calls, and a lightning-fast magnetic charge—50% in 10 minutes. IP54 rating means it laughs at dust and light rain. Much like Amazon’s Alexa+ with its agentic capabilities, VIVE Eagle gives users unprecedented control through voice commands to complete tasks hands-free.
At NTD 15,600 ($521), it’s a splurge, but for early adopters itching to flex futuristic tech, the Eagle might just soar past the competition. Pre-orders are live in Taiwan, with wider sales starting September 1, 2025. Fingers crossed for a global flight soon. It packs 32GB of storage for all your photos, videos, and apps, giving you ample space to 32GB storage capacity.
It runs on an Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chipset, enabling smooth performance for AI tasks and multimedia capture.
