Smart eyewear are glasses or goggles built with electronic components—like small displays, cameras, sensors and wireless radios—that add digital features to what you see, similar to carrying a smartphone on your face. Investors care because these devices can create new revenue from hardware sales, software services, data and advertising, but they also carry risks around consumer adoption, privacy rules, battery and component costs, and supply-chain or regulatory hurdles.
