Indian deep-tech company QWR has revealed its upcoming wearable device, Humbl, which it claims is the country’s first AI-powered smart glasses. The startup, which has been active in the XR space since 2017, shared initial details and features through promotional materials and a press note, suggesting that the device could mark a new direction in voice- and vision-based computing.

Humbl – India’s first AI-powered smart glasses

Humbl is powered by the Qualcomm AR1 processor and is built around a screenless, voice-first interface. The glasses feature a contextual camera, gesture support, and open-ear audio. Designed to serve as an always-on assistant, Humbl can respond to voice commands such as “Hey Humbl” to carry out tasks like recording point-of-view videos, providing directions, playing music, summarizing conversations, setting reminders, and offering real-time translations.

The AI can interpret both audio and visual input, allowing it to identify objects and landmarks to enhance user navigation. QWR says the glasses are tuned to understand multiple Indian languages and dialects, which makes them particularly relevant to the local market. It also highlights that Humbl is designed to be discreet and practical for everyday wear. The appearance is similar to that of Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, though specific hardware details like battery life haven’t been disclosed yet.

Launch timeline

The official launch is scheduled for later this month, but buyers will have to wait until the final quarter of 2025 for shipping. QWR, led by founder Suraj Aiar, also hinted at larger ambitions, including building advanced XR manufacturing infrastructure for global exports. While their website currently doesn’t mention Humbl, the company’s social media is teasing its arrival.

QWR already offers smart glasses under the Aurl brand, which are audio-only, and two different VR headsets.
