Qualcomm (QCOM) introduced its Snapdragon AR1+ Gen 1 chip for smart glasses, which is 26% smaller than its Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 used for Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
The new chip enables on-device AI processing, allowing smart glasses to operate independently without requiring a smartphone or cloud connection, the company said Tuesday in a statement.
The AR1+ Gen 1 improves image quality and helps reduce temple height by up to 20%, making smart glasses more compact, the company said.
The chip was announced at the Augmented World Expo 2025 in Long Beach, California.
Qualcomm shares rose 2.4% in recent trading Tuesday.
