  • On Thursday, HTC announced the Vive Eagle in Taiwan, priced at about $520, available for preorder through August 31 and retail from September 1.
  • With the smart eyewear market booming, HTC targeted Meta’s Ray-Ban Meta line to compete, noticing its surprise success.
  • Using HTC’s Vive AI, the glasses integrate ChatGPT and Google Gemini, supported by real-time translation in 13 languages, and feature a 12MP ultra-wide camera.
