Acer officially enters the smart glasses market with two new wearables unveiled at Computex 2026

Acer has officially entered the smart glasses market with two new devices unveiled at Computex 2026. Introducing the AR Vision GR0 and GI0 AI glasses.

The key difference between these two new products is that the GR100F is for viewing content through AR-style display glasses, think of it as a wearable external monitor, while the GI100 is more like Meta Ray-Ban-style AI glasses.

Let's start with the GR0 model GR100F. This external display features dual micro-OLED 1080p screens that enable a 172-inch display to be projected 6 meters from the viewer.

Notably, the display's distance is locked, which was quite disappointing, as it means short-sighted wearers will struggle unless they use the optional lenses. Even then, the experience, according to my colleague testing them at the Acer booth, was lackluster at best.

"The Acer AR Vision GR0 glasses (GR100F) leverage the processing power of a smartphone, laptop, or other device to activate AR experiences on demand and on the go. By bringing its dual micro OLED FHD screens into a user's full field of view, the glasses deliver an AR experience comparable to a 172-inch screen viewed from 6 meters away, making it ideal for immersive gaming, AR-enabled work productivity and learning, and adding privacy to work-related viewing in public spaces. It also offers the ability to display both 2D and 3D content sources," writes Acer in itspress release

The GR0 is compatible with Android, iOS, and Windows, and it supports both 2D and 3D content. Weighing just 69g, it connects via wired USB-C cable and includes a detachable light shield and optional myopia lenses.

The GI0 is a fully wireless smart glasses model, and Acer has decided to power the smart glasses experience with Google Gemini. It includes a 12MP camera, real-time translation, and a companion app called Acer AspireSync. It's lighter at 46g and priced more affordably than the GR0.
