"Meta is about to get some new competition in the AR-powered smart glasses space: A little-known company called Vonderful Inc. is gearing up to launch its first pair of AI glasses around CES, according to a staging website that appears to have been published prematurely and a recent FCC filing. Operating under the Vonder brand, the company promises to make "the most advanced smart glasses ever created" by combining augmented reality and "real-time information and assistance powered by advanced artificial intelligence.""
"A tall order, especially given that Meta just launched its $799 Ray-Ban Display glasses, arguably the industry's most consumer-ready AI glasses with integrated display to date. But Vonderful isn't starting from scratch: Vonder appears to be a stealth project of Viture, an AR startup that has been building glasses since 2021. The connection was revealed in Vonder's FCC filings, which were submitted by a Viture employee that is being identified as a "project manager" for Vonder."
Vonderful Inc. is preparing to launch its first AI-powered augmented reality smart glasses around CES, marketed under the Vonder brand. The product promises an integrated display with augmented reality and real-time AI information and assistance. Vonder appears linked to AR startup Viture through FCC filings submitted by a Viture employee and a landing page hosted on Viture's servers. A trademark filing by Eden Future HK Limited further connects the brands. Viture is among Chinese-rooted companies developing visor-style glasses that plug into phones or computers for power and compute and mirror displays with AR overlays.
