Rokid isn’t alone, Lenovo also has its own concept AI glasses to show off at CES
Smart glasses with AI seem to be a new trend, but is it one that will stick?
TL;DR
- Lenovo showcased its AI Glasses Concept at CES 2026, highlighting advanced smart-glasses features beyond its earlier experimental wearables.
- The glasses offer wireless tethering, touch and voice controls, live AI-powered translation, image recognition, notification summaries, and up to eight hours of use at 45g.
- While still a concept with no guarantee of release, the device reflects Lenovo’s ongoing exploration of smart glasses as a future consumer technology.
At CES 2026, Lenovo is showing off tons of new laptops, desktops, accessories, and much more. While there’s a lot to discover, one device that stood out to us is the new Lenovo AI Glasses Concept.
The company is no stranger to unique concept devices, including last year’s IFA showcase, which revealed a concept laptop with a rotating display. Glasses aren’t new territory for Lenovo either; a few years ago, the company experimented with the T1 Glasses, which were essentially virtual monitors you wear. This latest concept is thankfully much more ambitious.

The glasses tether wirelessly to a smart device and feature touch and voice controls, hands-free calling, music playback, and even a teleprompter for presentations. There’s also Lenovo Qira technology, which uses AI from a paired smartphone or PC to deliver sub-millisecond live translation and intelligent image recognition. You’ll also be able to keep up with your communications across multiple devices using Catch Me Up, a feature that displays summarized notifications from multiple devices.
The glasses are also reasonably light at 45g. While that’s heavier than the 20g to 30g range of most standard glasses, it’s more than reasonable given the added technology. This should make them fairly comfortable, and you’ll reportedly still get up to eight hours of productivity and entertainment.
It’s important to note this isn’t the only AI glasses concept out there, as Rokid revealed its own ChatGPT-based solution at CES as well. Those glasses work fairly differently, and are actually designed with the immediate market in mind. Meanwhile, Lenovo’s glasses aren’t guaranteed to become a reality; they’re simply a way for Lenovo to showcase new ideas and see what sticks. That said, smart glasses remain a popular area for experimentation, and concepts sometimes return years later in more refined, permanent forms.
