Acer unveiled two XR devices—AR Vision GR0 tethered AR glasses and GI0 AI smart glasses—its first branded return to the category since the 2019 OJO 500 headset.
AR Vision GR0 starts at $500 in North America and connects by cable to iOS, Android and Windows devices, using dual 1,920x1,080 microOLED displays aimed at gaming, productivity and private viewing.
GI0 AI Glasses start at $300 and use Google Gemini for voice queries, image analysis and translation, while adding a 12MP camera, 32GB storage, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 5 through Acer's AspireSync app.
Acer plans broader rollouts in Australia in Q3 2026 and EMEA in Q4 2026, as it returns to XR after years focused more on SpatialLabs 3D displays, laptops and cameras.
