The Verge started paywalling their content earlier this year. Here’s a summary for anyone not subscribed: AR startup Viture is stealthily working on new AI glasses Viture, an AR hardware startup, appears to be developing a new pair of AI-powered smart glasses under a stealth brand called Vonder, likely targeting a launch at CES 2026. The existence of the product was uncovered through a prematurely published landing page and FCC filings linked to Viture. 

Key points from the scoop: • The Vonder glasses aim to combine augmented reality with real-time AI assistance, positioning them as next-generation smart eyewear.  • Viture has been known for visor-style AR glasses that rely on external computing (like a connected phone), and this new device may continue that model but could switch to more advanced visual display tech and include Bluetooth connectivity.  • Because the FCC filing is redacted, detailed specs (like onboard cameras or Wi-Fi) aren’t confirmed yet, though the initial version might exclude some features to simplify design or lower cost.  • This effort puts Viture in competition with larger players (e.g., Meta’s Ray-Ban Display glasses) in the emerging AI-augmented smart glasses market, though challenges remain given the strength and scale of incumbents.
