HTC’s Vive Eagle looks like a normal pair of glasses, but there’s plenty going on behind the lenses. You can listen to music, ask questions, snap photos or videos, and translate text just by looking at it. All of this comes into a stylish frame designed for natural interaction through your eyes and voice, with no screens or hands required.
The Vive Eagle tips the scales at under 49g, with a clean frame, ZEISS sun lenses, adjustable nose pads, and contoured temples. Its open-ear speakers, HTC says, use big drivers and virtual bass to deliver spatial audio, while still letting you hear what’s going on around you.
There’s a 12MP ultra-wide camera on board, plus HTC’s Vive AI voice assistant, which supports OpenAI GPT and Google Gemini. Beyond photography and music, you can ask it to jot a note, set a reminder, or even suggest a place to eat, all hands-free.
It also offers real-time translation in 13 languages from Arabic and Traditional Chinese to French, Japanese, Spanish, Korean, Thai, Turkish and more. So basically turning captured text into spoken audio on the spot, no extra apps needed.
The Vive Eagle runs on a 235mAh battery, good for up to 36 hours on standby or about 4.5 hours of straight music playback, per the brand. Magnetic fast charging gets you roughly 50% power in 10 minutes, and you can top it up from your phone or a power bank on the go.
HTC says privacy is built in from the start. All your data stays on the device and never feeds into AI training, while AES-256 encryption keeps it secure. An LED lights up when you’re taking photos or recording video, and capture stops automatically if you take the glasses off or cover the light.
The HTC Vive Eagle comes in four colours – Berry, Coffee, Grey, and Black for NT$15,600 (around Rs. 40,872).
