Smart eyewear is no longer a futuristic concept. From Ray-Ban Meta glasses to advanced AR display systems and enterprise-grade industrial eyewear, AI-powered glasses are rapidly becoming the next major computing platform. In this episode, Gary and Scott dive into how smart eyewear is transforming the way we work, communicate, navigate, and interact with the physical world. 

We break down where the technology stands today, the breakthrough use cases unfolding in consumer and enterprise environments, and how AI is turning ordinary glasses into contextual, multimodal assistants that can interpret the world in real time. 

Then we go deeper. CIOs, CTOs, and digital leaders will get a full technical walkthrough of how smart eyewear integrates into an enterprise tech stack — including identity, zero-trust security, backend APIs, data governance, edge vs. cloud AI, workflow orchestration, networking requirements, and build-vs-buy considerations. If your organization is planning pilots or evaluating AR/AI wearables, this segment provides the architecture-level clarity most companies are missing. 

We also unpack the privacy, legal, and ethical challenges of putting a camera and an AI agent two inches from the human eye — from workplace monitoring to bystander consent to accessibility and equitable deployment. 

Whether you’re a business leader exploring AI transformation, a technologist thinking about new platforms, or just curious where everyday computing is headed, this is a must-listen conversation. 

Topics covered include: 
• The evolution of smart eyewear and why adoption is accelerating 
• Real consumer and enterprise use cases already delivering ROI 
• How AI is shifting glasses from passive cameras to active “perceptual agents” 
• Technical architecture for enterprise integration 
• Data protection, identity, and zero-trust considerations 
• Privacy, surveillance, and ethical implications 
• What the next 3–7 years of wearable AI will look like 

Smart eyewear isn’t a gadget — it’s the beginning of a new interface era.
