As the race to make eyewear powered by artificial intelligence ( AI ) more useful to the general public heats up, consumer electronics company DreamSmart Group, owned by Chinese auto giant Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, will soon allow mobile payments via smart glasses, according to an executive.
According to Guo Peng, general manager of the company’s XR ( extended reality ) business unit, DreamSmart is working with fintech giant Ant International to make the payment feature available on its StarV Air2 eyewear in the third quarter of this year.
