The paper surveys the evolution of smart glasses into AI smart glasses, framing them as wearable intelligence platforms that integrate egocentric sensing, resource-aware computing, intelligent reasoning, multimodal interaction, and real-world constraints for personalized assistance. It organizes the discussion into four dimensions: hardware foundations, wearable intelligence, interaction design, and application scenarios across healthcare, accessibility, learning, daily life, tourism, and industry. The authors identify five cross-cutting research challenges—next-generation hardware, trustworthy egocentric intelligence, lifelong personalized memory, proactive intelligence, and embodied foundation models—to guide future work.

arXiv:2607. 06344v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: While personalisation is becoming a defining capability in human-robot interaction (HRI), the existing literature on responsible personalisation remains fragmented, offering isolated accounts of ethical risks without a structured understanding of how they emerge across interaction contexts.

While personalisation is becoming a defining capability in human-robot interaction (HRI), the existing literature on responsible personalisation remains fragmented, offering isolated accounts of ethical risks without a structured understanding of how they emerge across interaction contexts. This gap is particularly critical in HRI, where robots' embodiment and social presence can amplify and reshape such risks or generate new types of risks.
