We are delighted to share our most recent briefing, Smart Glasses for the Consumer Market, authored by WCP's Founder and Managing Partner, Rudy Burger. There are currently about 250 companies in the head mounted #wearables category and these companies in aggregate have received over $5B in #funding. $700M has been #invested in this category just since the beginning of the year. On the M&A front, there have already been a number of significant #acquisitions in the space, notably the $500M acquisition of WaveOptics (UK) by Snap in 2021. Now, the market for head mounted wearables is segmenting into two distinct categories; #AR / #XR #headsets which contain #technology to #display an image overlay on the #physical #world, and Smart Glasses which feature a world-facing #camera but no display. AR/VR headsets cost thousands (or tens of thousands) of dollars and are used, for example, in specialized #commercial #applications. In contrast, Smart Glasses typically cost less than $300 and are entering the mainstream #consumer #market.   #Augmented #Reality (XR/AR) headsets/glasses have traditionally been equipped with: **A wireless or wired #connection to a #computer or #smartphone. **A #world-facing camera. **A #microphone and #headphones. **A #specialized #display that presents #information to the #wearer as an augmented reality overlay to the physical world.
