the glasses just grew a wallet. qwen's n1 pro ai glasses add eye tracking and iris-based payment, and they hit sale on oct 13 after debuting at nba china.
the checkout counter is now a blink.
Context
Alibaba unveiled the Qwen Glasses N1 and N1 Pro at its Apsara Conference. Alibaba Cloud says the N1 Pro adds eye tracking for visual interaction, including object recognition and iris-based payment, with pre-orders from Sep 22 and official sales on Oct 13.
Phoenix reports the first Qwen AI earbuds and glasses appeared at the NBA China games and go on sale on the 13th.
The N1 Pro, eye tracking, iris payment, the NBA China appearance and the Oct 13 sale date match the sources. The debut was Sep 22, earlier than the post's phrasing suggests.
A broker note read here says price and sales figures were not yet published and that iris data cannot be reset. 'The checkout counter is now a blink' is the author's opinion.
