Qualcomm CEO Says 6G Smart Glasses Will Turn Users Into Walking Cameras

1 articles · Updated · Fox Business · Jun 26

Summary

  • Cristiano Amon said AI smart glasses paired with 6G networks could send everything users see and hear to AI models in real time, creating a new device category beyond smartphones.
  • Qualcomm’s CEO argued glasses matter because they sit near the eyes, ears and mouth, letting AI quickly process what people see, hear and read and return immediate assistance.
  • Meta, Google and Apple are already investing in the category, and Meta this week unveiled lower-cost AI glasses priced at $299, underscoring the competitive push behind Amon’s forecast.
  • Qualcomm is tying that vision to a broader expansion beyond mobile chips, including a new Dragonfly C1000 CPU that Meta is using and a planned acquisition of AI startup Modular.
