HTC's first AI smart glasses VIVE Eagle has been launched in Hong Kong, supporting Chinese voice control!

Recently, HTC, a leading brand in the global virtual reality field, officially announced that its first AI smart glasses VIVE Eagle has landed in the Hong Kong market, priced at HKD 5999 (approximately RMB 5439), bringing a new wearing experience that integrates fashion design and cutting-edge AI technology to Hong Kong consumers. As a heavyweight product for HTC's layout in the consumer AI wearable market, the biggest highlight of VIVE Eagle is its comprehensive support for Mandarin Chinese voice control. In the future, it will also upgrade its support for Cantonese, completely breaking down language barriers and making intelligent interaction more in line with local user habits.

The launch of VIVE Eagle in Hong Kong this time is not a single product debut, but an ecological layout created by HTC in conjunction with local core channels. The brand has partnered with three major telecommunications operators, 1O1O, CSL, and SmarTone, as well as luxury eyewear retail brand Puyi Glasses, to build a one-stop service system of "high-speed network+professional lens matching+immersive experience". Consumers can not only experience stable AI interaction with the support of 5G network in operator stores, but also enjoy professional optometry and customized lens services at Puyi Glasses, balancing visual needs and intelligent experience, truly achieving seamless integration of technology and daily life.

The deep adaptation of Chinese voice control has become the key to impressing Hong Kong users with VIVE Eagle. By using the wake-up word 'Hey VIVE', users can directly issue commands such as taking photos, recording videos, playing music, and searching for information in Mandarin without having to take out their phones to complete the operation. For example, while commuting outdoors, a simple phrase like 'Hey VIVE, play today's news' can synchronize information; When encountering foreign language menus during travel, simply say 'Hey VIVE, translate this picture', and the built-in 12 megapixel ultra wide angle camera in the glasses can quickly capture and complete multilingual translation. This intuitive interactive experience completely liberates hands and allows AI assistants to truly integrate into daily scenarios. HTC Senior Vice President Huang Zhaoying said, "VIVE Eagle is not just a pair of glasses, but also an entry point for technology to integrate into life, and the support of Chinese voice is the core consideration for us to bring technology closer to local users. "

In terms of hardware configuration and design, VIVE Eagle also demonstrates flagship level. The product is equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 chip, combined with 4GB RAM and 32GB storage, providing powerful computing power for the smooth operation of AI functions; Adopting a lightweight design, the M-size includes only 48.8 grams of lenses, paired with an adjustable nose pad and an ergonomic frame that conforms to Asian facial shapes, making it comfortable to wear for a long time. In terms of audio, it is equipped with dual stereo enhanced subwoofer open speakers that ensure clear sound quality while allowing users to perceive the surrounding environment, balancing user experience and safety. At the same time, special technology is used to reduce sound leakage and protect privacy.

The optimization of battery life and charging efficiency further enhances the practicality of the product. VIVE Eagle has a built-in 235mAh battery, with a standby time of over 36 hours and a maximum continuous music playback time of 4.5 hours, fully meeting the needs of daily commuting and office use. It is worth mentioning that the product supports magnetic fast charging, which can charge to 50% in 10 minutes and 80% in 23 minutes. It can quickly replenish energy in fragmented time, solving the battery life anxiety of wearable devices. In addition, the IP54 dustproof and waterproof design allows the product to be used stably even in outdoor and changing environments.

In terms of AI ecosystem construction, VIVE Eagle adopts an open architecture and fully supports mainstream language models such as Google Gemini and OpenAI GPT (beta version). Users can seamlessly integrate familiar AI services according to their needs. At the same time, the product ensures the security of user data through advanced encryption technology, and all information will not be used for model training or sales, balancing intelligent experience and privacy protection. Hong Kong Telecom's CEO of Personal Services, Lam Kwok sing, commented, "By combining our 5G network with premium roaming services, VIVE Eagle enables users to enjoy stable AI functionality both in Hong Kong and overseas, promoting the integration of smart wearables into global life. ''

The landing of VIVE Eagle in Hong Kong not only fills the gap of high-end AI smart glasses that support Chinese voice in the local market, but also injects new vitality into the wearable device market with its core advantages of "fashionable design+practical functions+local adaptation". At present, the product has been fully launched for sale, and mainland consumers can also place orders by paying a shipping fee of HKD 130. With the subsequent launch of Cantonese voice control, VIVE Eagle is expected to further cultivate the Hong Kong market, promote the popularization of AI wearable technology in various scenarios such as daily life, tourism, and office, and open a new chapter of intelligent wearable technology in Hong Kong.
