SMART GLASSES

Alibaba Qwen AI glasses beat Ray-Ban Meta with real-world features

The Short Version

Alibaba's Qwen AI glasses added weather-based reminders and calendar features that Ray-Ban Meta still lacks, shifting the smart glasses advantage in China.

Alibaba's Qwen AI glasses can check the weather and pull your calendar. Ray-Ban Meta glasses cannot. That one sentence explains why Meta is losing ground in China's smart glasses market. A camera that answers questions is a party trick. Glasses that remind you to bring an umbrella because rain is coming at 3pm are a tool people actually use every day.
