Gentle Monster Teases December Release for Android XR Smart Glasses with Joaquin Phoenix

South Korean eyewear giant Gentle Monster announced its long-awaited Android XR smart glasses are on their way this December, which are built in collaboration with Samsung and Google. And Joaquin Phoenix will be heading the marketing blitz starting later this month.

Gentle Monster revealed a snippet of a soon-to-release short film starring Joaquin Phoenix, which will ostensibly highlight all of the interesting things you can do with a pair of Android XR smart glasses. Like translating foreign (or possibly alien?) languages.

Academy Award and BAFTA winner Jonathan Glazer is directing the short film; Glazer is best known for his work on films The Zone of Interest (2023), Under the Skin (2013), and Sexy Beast (2000). Glazer was also behind a number of iconic music videos throughout the ’90s and ’00s from Blur, Radiohead, and Jamiroquai to name a few.

There’s no word yet on when exactly the glasses will launch, which, alongside similar frames from Warby Parker, will be some of the first to support Google’s Android XR operating system.

Much like Meta’s range of camera-clad smart glasses, the Warby Parker and Gentle Monster frames will include onboard cameras, microphones and off-ear speakers for doing things like taking calls, listening to podcasts, and interacting with Google Gemini.
