Lenskart to unveil B by Lenskart smartglasses with Sony camera and AI assistant in India

Lenskart is set to launch its AI-powered B by Lenskart smartglasses in India, featuring a Sony camera, Snapdragon AR1 chipset, and a voice-based AI assistant.

Lenskart has announced plans to launch its AI-powered smartglasses, B by Lenskart, in India. The company will make the device available to India’s developer ecosystem, which will give third-party developers and consumer apps the opportunity to integrate its camera and AI technology into their own services. Applications could include food delivery, entertainment, fitness tracking, and digital payments. Lenskart said the goal is to transform smartglasses from a fashion accessory into a multi-purpose platform and create India’s first full-stack wearables ecosystem that combines hardware, software, and AI capabilities.
