Acer has introduced two new wearable devices: the AR Vision GR0 augmented reality glasses and the GI0 AI smart glasses. The GR0 model focuses on virtual screen projection, while the GI0 integrates generative AI directly into a lightweight form factor. The devices are designed for users who want to use their hands while accessing artificial intelligence features instead of looking at phone displays.

Dual micro-OLED displays deliver high-resolution virtual screens for the AR model, while the AI variant integrates local processing.

The AR Vision GR0 features dual micro-OLED displays that deliver 1920 x 1080 resolution per eye in standard 2D mode. When switching to stereoscopic viewing, the combined resolution reaches 3840 x 1080. The display system supports a 60Hz refresh rate and covers the DCI-P3 color gamut with a contrast ratio of 50,000:1. The displays reach a brightness of 200 nits, providing adequate visibility indoors while facing limitations outdoors under bright light conditions.

The Acer GI0 model focuses more on local processing capabilities for artificial intelligence tasks rather than maximizing screen resolution quality. They include a 12-megapixel camera capable of capturing 3024 x 4032 images and recording video at 1080p resolution and 30 frames per second. The device includes 32 gigabytes of internal storage to hold software applications and artificial intelligence data files. The device connects via Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 5 for data transmission.

The physical weight varies noticeably depending on which model is being used, with the AR Vision GR0 weighing 69 grams and the GI0 frames alone weighing just 46 grams. The AR Vision GR0 weighs 69 grams total, with an adjustable interpupillary distance set to 64mm. The frame portion of the Acer GI0 weighs only 46 grams, offering a lightweight design compared to other wearable devices in its category. Battery capacity for the GI0 is listed at 217mAh, though Acer has not disclosed expected runtime hours.

Pricing varies by region and model tier. The AR Vision GR0 costs $499.99 in the US, €599 in Europe, and AUD 999 in Australia. The more accessible GI0 AI glasses are priced at $299.99 USD, €399 EUR, and AUD 599 AUD. Both devices will launch in Europe during Q4 2026 and in Australia during Q3 2026.

Connectivity options define the user experience for each device. The GR0 requires a wired connection to smartphones, laptops, or any display-output-enabled hardware. The GI0 uses a companion app called AspireSync and pairs wirelessly with Android devices running version 12 or later, as well as iPhones on iOS 15 and above.
