Q01: These smart glasses feature voice assistant and camera

The Chinese manufacturer Zeblaze is known for products such as smartwatches and has now launched new smart glasses called the Zeblaze Q01. In this case, smart does not necessarily mean AR, since there is no display unit, so users cannot check their current speed or view live translations through the glasses. It is better understood as a headset in glasses form with an integrated camera. It uses a Sony IMX219 image sensor. The device supports taking photos and recording video at 1200p. That could allow athletes to capture fairly immersive footage. The company also advertises image stabilization at both the hardware and software level.

There are still some AR-style functions, even if they do not rely on a visual interface. According to the manufacturer, for example, images can be captured and then analyzed immediately. It also supports conversation translation. The company further promotes the ability to record and summarize meetings. These functions do not run locally on the glasses, however, so they require a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone. The Zeblaze Q01 can also be used as a Bluetooth headset. Battery life is rated at up to nine hours for music playback, while video recording is possible for 50 minutes. WiFi is supported as well.

Banggood lists the Zeblaze Q01 at around $64, with different lens colors available.
