Acer Enters Smart Glasses Market at Computex 2026: $299 GI0 AI Glasses and $499 GR0 AR Display

Acer has officially entered the smart glasses market with two new devices unveiled at Computex 2026 in Taipei. The surprise move adds another major PC maker to the growing smart glasses race alongside Meta, Samsung, and Google.

Acer GI0 AI Glasses — $299

• Weight: Just 46 grams — lighter than the Meta Ray-Ban (49g) and among the lightest AI glasses available
• AI: Powered by Google Gemini for real-time translation, visual search, and conversational AI
• Camera: 12MP camera for photos and visual AI queries
• Fully wireless: No cables or external compute puck required
• Companion app: Acer AspireSync for managing settings, photos, and AI interactions

Acer GR0 AR Display Glasses — $499

• Display: Dual micro-OLED 1080p screens projecting a 172-inch equivalent display at 6 meters
• Weight: 69 grams — competitive with the XREAL Air 2 Pro (75g)
• Use case: Wearable external monitor for entertainment, gaming, and productivity

What This Means for Buyers

The GI0 at $299 directly challenges the Meta Ray-Ban at $379 on price while matching key features like Gemini AI and a 12MP camera. If Acer delivers on the 46g weight claim, it would be the lightest AI glasses from a major brand. The GR0 slots between the XREAL xbx a01 at $299 and the XREAL One Pro at $599 for display-focused buyers. Both models target late-2026 availability, so current buyers should compare existing options in our smart glasses guide.
