Insta360 Patents AI Smart Glasses Design
Insta360 is reportedly developing AI-powered smart glasses featuring a unique external battery design to keep the frames lightweight.
Insta360 appears to be expanding its hardware lineup beyond action cameras. According to reports originating from China, the company is currently developing AI-powered smart glasses.
A newly surfaced patent reveals a design strategy aimed at maintaining a traditional form factor. To keep the glasses lightweight and similar in appearance to standard eyewear, the patent details a configuration where the battery is not housed within the frames themselves.
