Viture introduced Vonder, a new pair of AI-powered smart glasses designed to look and feel more like conventional eyewear than a technology device. The glasses come without a camera or display and instead focus on voice-based AI features, personal memories, and privacy.
Viture's founders, known for their display-focused XR glasses, created the new wearable. Vonder is positioned differently, with the company aiming to create an everyday pair of glasses that can quietly capture information and help users recall it later.
Vonder's design removes two components commonly associated with smart glasses: cameras and screens. The glasses weigh under 30 grams and include microphones, speakers, processing hardware, and physical controls.
According to the company, audio recording is activated only when the user prompts the glasses to record. In normal use, the system is designed to recognize the user's voice. A separate Meeting Mode can be activated using a physical switch, with an LED indicator showing when the feature is active.
Vonder deletes the original audio after converting it into text and memories. Users can then access the resulting information through the companion app.
At the center of Vonder is its Personal Memory Graph, an AI system designed to organize information captured through conversations and voice interactions. It can help users take notes, recall previous information and handle hands-free calls.
Vonder also allows users to select different AI models through its app, including Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude and OpenAI's ChatGPT. The company's approach is intended to make accumulated memories and conversations available as useful context rather than simply storing raw recordings.

Unlike many technology-first smart glasses, Vonder is being offered with a range of eyewear customization options. Buyers can choose different frame shapes and finishes, and it supports prescription, progressive, and transition lens options.
In the US, pre-orders are scheduled to begin on September 28 at a starting price of USD 299, with shipments expected from November. Premium acetate frames start at USD 399. Customers outside the US can currently register their interest.
According to Vonder, user data is protected with financial-grade encryption, and the company does not sell advertising or user data. The glasses are designed to provide a screen-free AI experience while keeping the wearable closer to ordinary eyewear.
