Li Auto Announces Second-Gen Livis AI Glasses with Zeiss In-Lens Display Tech
Li Auto has announced that its second-generation Livis AI glasses are scheduled for release in the second half of next year, featuring a potential in-lens display technology being co-evaluated with Zeiss. Additionally, the company is expanding vehicle control features like AI-assisted parking to more car models and developing a native HarmonyOS application. This development highlights the growing trend of electric vehicle manufacturers expanding into wearable technology to create a seamless ecosystem between smart cars and personal devices. By integrating in-lens displays and vehicle controls, Li Auto aims to enhance hands-free user interaction and strengthen its competitive edge in the smart mobility market. The second-generation glasses aim to balance weight and performance using Zeiss optics, while current HarmonyOS 5.0+ users must temporarily use the Zhuoyitong compatibility tool to run the Android version of the companion app. The first-generation Livis glasses weigh 36 grams and support vehicle commands, music playback, and smart assistant features.
## BACKGROUND
In-lens display technology integrates visual screens directly into the lenses of smart glasses, allowing users to view augmented reality information without the bulk of traditional headsets. Zhuoyitong is a compatibility tool that enables Huawei's HarmonyOS users to run Android applications, bridging the gap as developers transition to native HarmonyOS apps.
