Qualcomm has partnered with Samsung and Google for mixed reality tech development and, according to The Verge, the collaboration was unveiled as taking the form of smart glasses with mobile-device interactivity.
“What I really expect to come out of this partnership, I want everyone that has a phone to go buy companion glasses to go along with it,” Cristiano Amon, CEO at Qualcomm, said in an interview with CNBC quoted by The Verge. “I think we need to get to the point that the glasses are going to be no different than wearing regular glasses or sunglasses. And then with that, we can get scale.”
Cloud technology will be central in the tech partners’ approach, according to CNBC, along with their differentiation from the routes taken by competitors like Apple or the Meta/Ray-Ban partnership.
“AI is going to run on the device,” Amon elaborated in his interview with CNBC. “It’s going to run on the cloud. It’s going to run some in the glass, some in the phone, but at the end of the day, there’s going to be whole new experiences.”
