Pickle AR Glasses seem to promise a real-life version of Jarvis. The internet is skeptical.
There's a new pair of AI-powered AR glasses on the block — the Pickle 1. According to Pickle Inc., these AR glasses use cameras, microphones, sensors, and artificial intelligence to observe, remember, and even anticipate a user's daily life. It's intended to function as part traditional wearable, part AI companion. After learning about you, the Pickle 1 glasses will then serve up real-time information, reminders, and suggestions, according to Digit.
And here's how Pickle Inc. describes its futuristic AR glasses on its website: "For a life better in every dimension, we need an intelligence that sees with you, remembers your life, and learns to understand you. A new soul."

Giving birth to a new soul is a big enough claim on its own, but the promo video for the Pickle AR glasses also shows a level of augmented reality that's far ahead of brands like Meta and Xreal, which already make AR glasses.
So, for many social media users, the early videos and concept images of the glasses simply seem too good to be true. The Pickle Glasses are reminiscent of Iron Man's AI-powered visual display, and some experts say that users should be very skeptical while the product is still in development. The Pickle website states that users can put down a $200 deposit to preorder the Pickle 1, with deliveries starting in the second quarter of 2026.
"As someone who worked in AR/VR for over a decade please listen. The @pickle glasses are not real. It’s literally just a mold of glasses made in China," one user wrote on X. "The technology for AR glasses in this form factor isn’t possible yet. Not even Meta or Apple has glasses like this. 100% fake."

"For context on how insanely fake this is: Xreal is one of the leading AR glasses companies on Earth. Their flagship glasses model (Xreal One) without any cameras, compute, or battery weigh more than Pickle claims their 'full AR' glasses with 4 cameras do," another user posted.

Whether the glasses are up to the hype or not, it might be best to wait until they come out and reviewers can get their hands on them before putting down the $200 deposit — or at least until we see an actual product demo.
