It is reported that these AI glasses are part of their second-generation product line, which began research and development earlier this year, focusing on display-free technology and primarily targeting overseas markets. This new product is different from the mainstream AI glasses currently available on the market, especially those imitating Ray-Ban Meta's competitors, as it aims to explore new application scenarios and meet the unique needs of users in various vertical fields.
"Tribute to the Unknown" was established in 2022 by Wu Dezhou, a former partner at Smartisan Technology and the former general manager of Huawei Honor's product line. In 2023, the company completed a $10 million angel round of financing, led by Alibaba, with several well-known investment institutions participating. Wu Dezhou stated that he hopes to apply the experience he accumulated in the mobile phone industry to the development of the next generation of smart products, choosing to enter the emerging market of AI glasses.
Currently, many companies and entrepreneurs are flocking to the AI glasses field. In addition to "Tribute to the Unknown," companies such as Hive Technology and Thunderbird Innovation have also released new products, and even Luo Yonghao's "Thin Red Line" brand and ByteDance are considering product layouts in this area. Mobile manufacturers like Huawei, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Honor have also revealed plans for AI glasses.
