With a lot of tech brands left and right now launching their own takes on smart eyewear, it’s unsurprising to see industry veterans get in on the action as well. With that in mind, Acer recently announced the launch of the Acer AR Vision GR0, and the Acer GI0 AI smart glasses.
First up is the Acer AR Vision GR0 (Model GR100F), which is a wired augmented reality headset that displays content from a connected device such as a smartphone, laptop, or PC. Weighing in at just 69 grams, the headset features dual micro OLED Full HD screens with a 1920×1080 resolution for 2D content, scaling up to 3840×1080 for 3D viewing. You also get a 60Hz refresh rate, 200 nits of brightness, and a 50,000:1 contrast ratio.
Compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows, the GR0 handles tracking using 3DoF, integrated accelerometers, proximity sensors, and magnetometers. Users can adjust brightness and volume directly on the frames with swipe gestures, and the glasses include a detachable light shield alongside a myopia magnetic lens option.
Meanwhile, the Acer GI0 (Model GI100) ditches the built-in display and instead functions as a wireless AI companion. Weighing only 46 grams, the glasses run on a built-in 217 mAh battery, and can work directly with Google Gemini for audio-based AI features.
For hardware, you’re getting three onboard microphones and a 12 MP camera which allows the glasses to execute voice-activated queries, deliver real-time AI translations, and provide live AI captions. Other features include 32 GB of built-in storage, WiFi 5, and Bluetooth 5.0.
Acer says that the two devices are scheduled for launch across the latter half of the year—the AR Vision GR0 will launch at $499.99 in North America, AUD999 in Australia by Q3 2026, and EUR599 in the EMEA region by Q4 2026. Meanwhile, the Acer GI0 will hit markets starting at $299.99 in North America, AUD 599 in Australia, and EUR 399 in EMEA.
