HTC to Launch VIVE Eagle AI Glasses in Q3 2026 as June Revenue Falls 8.5%

2 articles · Updated · MIXED Reality News · Jul 8

Summary

  • Q3 2026 is HTC’s target to bring its first AI-powered VIVE Eagle smart glasses to the U.S. and Europe, making the device central to the company’s latest turnaround push.
  • NT$292 million in June revenue—about $10 million—fell 8.5% from a year earlier, while first-half revenue dropped 9.7%, underscoring why HTC is shifting toward AI glasses, enterprise XR and VIVERSE.
  • VIVE Eagle supports multiple AI platforms, including Google Gemini and OpenAI, and HTC says user data is not used to train its AI models, positioning the glasses against more closed ecosystems from rivals.
  • 1.7 million monthly active users used VIVERSE in May, alongside more than 32,000 content items and at least 14,000 creators, but HTC still has to prove those businesses can deliver growth rather than just stability.
