According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple's smart glasses project, codenamed N50, remains in early development and is far from ready. While Apple has a strong track record of creating small, innovative devices, its smart glasses development appears to be progressing slowly. Gurman writes that the N50 glasses aim to leverage "Apple Intelligence" capabilities, analyzing the surroundings and feeding information back to the wearer, but the glasses will not provide a full augmented reality (AR) experience.

At the latest TED conference, Google showcased a futuristic prototype of augmented reality (AR) glasses. The glasses, boasting a sleek design resembling regular eyewear, incorporate Google's advanced Gemini AI assistant, demonstrating impressive multi-functionality. In a demo, Shahram Izadi, head of the Android XR team, highlighted various applications, including real-time translation of Persian to English and book scanning. Izadi noted that the glasses...

Recently, an AI coding tool called Trickle has generated significant buzz on social media, garnering attention for its ease of use and powerful features. Designed for non-developers, this tool empowers ordinary users—especially product managers and creative professionals—to quickly transform their ideas into functional prototypes, even deploying them directly. Trickle not only lowers the technical barrier to entry but also significantly accelerates the cycle from ideation to product validation. Trickle's core strength lies in its built-in database.

A groundbreaking AI-powered ultrasound technology has won a million-dollar prize, promising a revolution in heart health diagnostics and paving the way for more accessible and accurate cardiac care.

Yale University researchers have developed MindLLM, an AI model capable of translating fMRI brain signals directly into text. This groundbreaking technology bridges the gap between brain activity and human language, opening new possibilities for communication and understanding the human brain.

A research team from Nanyang Technological University has garnered significant attention for their groundbreaking technology, GaussianCity, for generating ultra-large-scale 3D city models. This newly developed framework boasts an impressive 60x speed improvement over traditional methods and overcomes limitations in scale, enabling boundless 3D city generation. This achievement has been accepted by CVPR 2025 (a top-tier conference on computer vision and pattern recognition), marking a significant breakthrough in virtual reality, autonomous driving, and digital twin applications. GaussianCity...

Recently, OpenAI applied for a new trademark involving wearable devices such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets and glasses. This move has sparked widespread attention in the industry and may indicate OpenAI's intention to expand its presence in the hardware sector. In recent years, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the demand for wearable devices has been growing, particularly devices in the form of glasses, which are considered ideal carriers for AI technology. Tech giants like Meta, Apple, Samsung, and Google have all increased their investments in AR/VR.

On the occasion of the annual completion at Beijing Zhihua Huazhang Technology Co., Ltd., the company released the first generation version of its inference model based on extended reinforcement learning technology — GLM-Zero-Preview. This model focuses on enhancing AI's reasoning capabilities, particularly excelling in mathematical logic, code writing, and handling complex problems that require deep reasoning. Compared to the base model, GLM-Zero-Preview shows significant improvements in specialized task capabilities while maintaining general task abilities.

In a significant innovation in the digital payment realm, payment solution provider iWallet has pioneered a voice AI payment system. This groundbreaking technology marks the official entry of the payment industry into the era of intelligent voice interaction. Currently, the payment industry still commonly uses traditional technologies such as Interactive Voice Response (IVR) and Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF), which not only hinder user experience but also pose challenges in terms of Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance. Addressing this pain point, the voice AI system developed by iWallet ensures PCI compliance.

Apple's augmented reality (AR) smart glasses have long been a hot topic in the tech world. Although there has been no official news about a launch, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman recently revealed in his 'Power On' newsletter that Apple's AR glasses are still in the development phase, with at least 3 to 5 more years needed before they are officially released. While Apple's Apple Vision Pro has already debuted and shares many similarities with the potential AR glasses, its relatively bulky design has raised questions about the future of Apple's offerings.

Tech giants Google and Samsung have recently unveiled a new generation of mixed reality headsets and smart AI glasses. These devices not only feature significant hardware upgrades but also integrate deeply with Google's latest Gemini AI model, showcasing their ambitious goals in the mixed reality field. Both devices support Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) functionalities, but their biggest highlight is the deep application of AI. With Gemini's powerful computing capabilities, these devices can understand user intentions.

According to informed sources, OpenAI is preparing to launch a new AI agent system codenamed Operator, capable of performing computer tasks such as programming and travel bookings on behalf of users. This news signals a shift towards more intelligent and autonomous AI technologies.
