## Summary

Viture, a San Francisco‑based wearable maker, unveiled its Vonder glasses, a pair of frames that look like ordinary eyeglasses but contain microphones, speakers and bone‑conduction sensors instead of cameras. The glasses run a built‑in AI assistant that can call OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google’s Gemini or DeepSeek, choosing the model that is fastest and cheapest for each request. As the wearer talks, the device records audio only when speech is detected, builds a personal memory graph, and displays connections on a digital vision board in the companion app.\n\nThe Vonder glasses cost $299, support prescription lenses, and are offered in several frame shapes, colors and lens types (clear, transition or shaded). Pre‑orders start on September 28 with shipping slated for November, and the battery lasts about 16 hours. Viture emphasizes privacy, using a small blue indicator light when audio is being captured and noting that the device records only the wearer’s perspective. In a demo, user Jiang described how the assistant warned him to stop shouting at his son’s tennis match, prompting a more supportive parenting approach.

## Key points

- Vonder glasses cost $299, preorder begins Sep 28, shipping in November.
- No cameras; microphones, bone‑conduction sensors record only when wearer speaks, with a blue indicator light.
- AI assistant pulls answers from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or DeepSeek and creates a personal memory graph.

## Why it matters

Brings multimodal LLMs into everyday wearables, raising privacy questions while showing how AI can augment personal memory and behavior.
