Indian deep tech startup QWR has unveiled its latest innovation, Humbl, a pair of AI powered smart glasses designed to offer a seamless blend of style, functionality, and intelligence. Claimed to be the first AI smart glasses made in India, Humbl is set to compete with global offerings like the Ray Ban Meta glasses. While the company has not disclosed all technical details, the features teased so far suggest a product focused on utility, hands free experience, and real time responsiveness. The startup has announced that Humbl will be officially launched later this month, with shipments scheduled for the last quarter of 2025.
Founded in 2017 by Suraj Aiar, QWR or Question What’s Real has been a homegrown name in the augmented and extended reality landscape in India. The company has previously developed audio enabled smart glasses and VR headsets. However, Humbl marks a more ambitious leap forward. These smart glasses are designed not just for audio playback but also for point of view video recording, navigation, translation, and real time AI interactions.
What sets Humbl apart is its integrated AI assistant which can be activated using the wake phrase “Hey Humbl.” Once activated, the assistant can handle a wide range of commands. Users can record videos directly from their own point of view without touching the device. This makes the glasses especially useful for creators, travelers, or professionals wanting to capture their surroundings discreetly. The AI can also summarize ongoing conversations or meetings, a feature aimed at increasing productivity and information recall. In addition to recording and summarizing, it can also play music, set reminders, deliver navigation prompts, and even translate languages in real time.
QWR highlights that Humbl can recognize objects and landmarks, allowing it to give smarter, context aware directions when guiding users to their destinations. The glasses reportedly collect and process data from both visual and audio channels, which enhances the AI assistant’s accuracy and responsiveness. However, details regarding the chipset, memory, battery life, or the large language model behind the assistant are yet to be revealed.
The visual design of the Humbl glasses seems to mirror the subtle aesthetic of traditional sunglasses, with an added layer of smart technology hidden within. This level of discretion appeals to users who want functionality without the look of bulky tech gear. Despite limited availability of specifications and the product still missing from QWR’s official website, some teaser videos are already making rounds on the company’s social media, building curiosity around the product’s potential.
This move by QWR signals a new chapter for Indian innovation in the consumer AI and wearables space. With growing competition from global tech giants, the Indian market is witnessing a new wave of startups stepping up to challenge the norms. If Humbl delivers on its promises, it could become one of the more talked about gadgets of 2025 in the wearables category.
