In the spring of 2026, Samsung and Google together drew back a curtain that the technology world has long anticipated — smart glasses capable of dissolving language barriers in real time through artificial intelligence.

Apple, which has twice transformed categories it did not invent, now watches from the outside as two rivals attempt to define the terms of a new era in human communication.
