Ahead Of Mass Adoption Cycle: A Full Supply-Chain Breakdown Of Smart Glasses
Smart glasses took center stage at CES 2026 in Las Vegas last week, highlighting a new generation of AI-enabled eyewear integrated with real-time assistants.
In Meta's case, the push is clearly toward affordability and mass adoption, positioning these glasses as everyday consumer electronics rather than super expensive niche hardware for elites.
A lesson for smart glasses manufacturers is not to repeat Apple's misstep with the prohibitively priced Vision Pro, which crushed any chance of widespread adoption and eventually led to the exodus of developers.
Before affordable smart glasses hit the consumer market this year and next, Goldman analyst Jerry Shen published a clear, straightforward view of the AI and AR glasses supply chain, breaking it down by the companies that supply the critical components behind these devices.
We suspect demand will accelerate this year after a Bloomberg report earlier this week revealed...

Progress of artificial general intelligence could stall, which may lead to a financial crash, says Yoshua Bengio, one of the 'godfathers' of modern AIWill the race to artificial general intelligence (AGI) lead us to a land of financial plenty – or will it end in a 2008-style bust? Trillions of dollars rest on the answer.The figures are staggering: an estimated $2.9tn (£2.2tn) being spent on datacentres, the central nervous systems of AI tools; the more than $4tn stock market capitalisation of Nvidia, the company that makes the chips powering cutting-edge AI systems; and the $100m signing-on bonuses offered by Mark Zuckerberg's Meta to top engineers at OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT.

US Outraged Iranian Warships Are Docked At Cape Town: South Africa 'Cozying Up' To Tehran
The United States is making its anger known to longtime but strained ally South Africa, charging the country's defense ministry of ignoring directives from its own government to send Iranian warships home after they took part in naval exercises in South African waters.

Islamic Republic warships have been docked in Cape Town for some days now. "Iran is a destabilizing actor and state sponsor of terror, and its inclusion in joint exercises - in any capacity - undermines maritime security and regional stability," the US statement said.
