In 2026, the smart glasses conversation is mostly dominated by a handful of names: Meta, Samsung, and Google. There are other companies that already have products in the market, but they might not have thought about competition from this PC and laptop brand that has suddenly entered the market.
I’m talking about Acer. The company has quietly dropped two pairs of glasses ahead of Computex 2026, and neither of them looks like an experiment.
What can Acer’s wired AR headset do?
Out of the two smart glasses, the AR Vision GR0 is the more immersive one.
It connects to your phone, laptop, or tablet via a wired connection, and then projects dual micro OLED displays (one per eye) at 1920 x 1080 resolution in 2D or 3840 x 1080 in 3D, simulating a 172-inch screen viewed from roughly 20 feet away.
At just 69 grams, it is quite light for a wired AR device. You can also get it with the optional detachable light shield and myopia magnetic lens support, which make it more practical than most glasses in this category.
The device is compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows and doesn’t come with a platform lock-in. You can purchase the AR Vision GR0 in North America at $499.99.
The company also has a Meta Ray-Ban competitor
The Acer GI0 AI Glasses are slightly different. They’re closer to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses than to an AR headset.
They offer wireless connectivity, connect with your phone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, and feature Google Gemini as the AI assistant of choice.
Features include a 12MP camera for first-person photo and video capture, real-time AI translation, live captions, and voice recording, which, yet again, makes them similar to the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses.
All the data is stored on the device’s 32GB onboard storage. These glasses are compatible with Android and iOS via the Acer AspireSync companion app. At 46 grams for the frames alone, these are light enough for daily usage. You can get the smart glasses for $299.99 in North America.
