It remains uncertain whether Google will introduce a pair of AR glasses utilizing the technology outlined in its recent patent. A document published on the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) website, titled "Adapting assistant suggestions rendered at computerized glasses according to changes in user gaze and/or other user input," details the functionality of an "automated" assistant that can respond to audio and visual inputs from the smart glasses worn by the user. According to the company, this automated assistant would display suggestions on the smart glasses' screen, allowing users to select options through technology that monitors their "gaze.
" This implies that the device would incorporate some form of eye-tracking technology to facilitate the assistant's functionality. When a user shifts their gaze, the assistant would utilize the smart glasses' camera and microphone to dynamically "adapt" its suggestions based on the user's visual perspective and verbal commands.
