HTC Unveils VIVE Eagle AI Glasses
- HTC Launches AI-Driven Wearable Eyewear
- Features include: Voice Assistant, Smart Photography, and Photo Translation
- First launching in Taiwan in Partnership with Taiwan Mobile and 2020EYEhaus
August 14, 2025 – HTC Corporation (TWSE: 2498), a global innovator in immersive technology and ecosystem design, today announced the launch of wearable AI glasses - VIVE Eagle. Seamlessly integrating music playback, voice assistance, smart photography and videography, and photo-based translation into a fashionable frame, VIVE Eagle introduces a bold new vision for everyday smart eyewear.
Charles Huang, Senior Vice President of HTC, said, “VIVE Eagle represents HTC’s newest exploration in the realm of intelligent living and personal wearables. By combining our pursuit of design excellence with expertise in immersive user experiences, this product is more than just a pair of glasses - it's a way to live life with greater freedom. We believe technology should empower self-expression and deepen human connection. VIVE Eagle is a testament to our commitment to creating smart technology that fits naturally into everyday life.”
VIVE Eagle is designed for everyday life. Whether translating a menu while traveling, capturing moments on the street, or discreetly taking a call in public, VIVE Eagle redefines what eyewear can do - enabling natural interaction through vision and voice, without needing to use screens or hands.
Wearable Style, Premium Design
VIVE Eagle features a refined aesthetic that conceals its powerful technology in clean, minimalist lines. Weighing under 49 grams, the frame houses AI computing and voice interaction capabilities. Adjustable nose pads and ergonomically contoured temples ensure all-day comfort. ZEISS sun lenses provide UV protection without compromising optical clarity or visual comfort.
A New Standard in Open-Ear Listening
With its open-ear design, VIVE Eagle combines large acoustic drivers and virtual bass enhancement to deliver rich, spatial audio while minimizing sound leakage. The no-earplug design means there's no ear canal pressure, for effortless, all-day wear. Even in outdoor environments, users can clearly hear music or voice prompts without worrying about others overhearing, while remaining aware of their surroundings - offering both privacy and safety.
Capture Moments with Voice-Activated AI
VIVE Eagle is equipped with a 12MP ultra-wide camera and HTC’s proprietary VIVE AI voice assistant. VIVE AIsupports leading AI platforms including OpenAI GPT and Google Gemini. With a simple voice command like “Hey VIVE, take a photo,” users can capture what they see - right from their glasses. Whether it’s street art or photos of friends, spontaneous fun while traveling, or the golden glow of a sunset hike, VIVE Eagle enables first-person storytelling with ease.
Voice Interaction for Everyday Productivity
Beyond photography and music, VIVE Eagle allows users to record reminders, take notes, and discover restaurant recommendations - all via voice interaction alone, so you can focus your attention on what matters.
AI-Powered Translation in 13 Languages
With support for real-time translation in 13 languages, VIVE Eagle helps people translate content captured by the camera into spoken audio - no need to open an app or reach for a phone. It removes language barriers in everyday encounters. Supported languages: Arabic, Traditional Chinese, English, French, German, Greek, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Thai, Turkish.
Lightweight, with All-Day Battery and Pass-Through Charging
Powered by a 235mAh battery, VIVE Eagle has up to 36 hours of standby time, and delivers around 4.5 hours of continuous music playback. The device supports magnetic fast charging - a 10-minute charge provides up to 50% power, ensuring users stay connected on the go whether using a power bank or phone.
Designed for Privacy, Built for Security
HTC maintains the highest standard of user data protection. VIVE Eagle is designed with privacy-first architecture: all user data is stored locally on the device - never uploaded, tracked, or used for AI model training. Even when leveraging 3rd party AI for requests, user data is anonymized for maximum privacy.
The system is protected with military-grade AES-256 encryption to safeguard local data. A built-in LED indicator lights up during photo or video capture. If the glasses are removed or the light is obstructed, recording is automatically disabled - ensuring both user and bystander privacy is respected. VIVE AI is currently pending ISO 27001 & 27701 certification.

VIVE Eagle is initially available in Taiwan, and is now available for pre-order exclusively at all 2020EYEhaus premium eyewear locations in Taiwan (with optical services) and designated Taiwan Mobile OP Experience Stores. In-store experiences, fitting services, and pre-order consultations are now open to the public.
