Spectacles 5 anchor the AR-first corner of DEPLOY's wearable cohort: dual waveguide displays and spatial Lenses, distinct from the capture-first recorders (Plaud, Omi) and the assistant-first camera glasses (Meta Ray-Ban, Rokid).
The AI is genuine: multimodal Lenses and a 'My AI' assistant powered by OpenAI and Google's Gemini, able to read signs, translate menus, and identify objects.
