The Challenge
Design AI glasses that feel instantly wearable while hiding complex hardware inside a familiar, comfortable form factor. Create smart eyewear that looks simple, feels premium, and is ready for real world manufacturing.
Making Intelligence Feel Invisible
We approached the challenge through deep design engineering and wearable technology principles. The team focused on ergonomic design, hardware layout, and CAD modeling to distribute weight evenly across the frame. DFM and design for manufacture were embedded early, ensuring the AI smart glasses could move smoothly from prototype to production without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
When Himanshu, a tech entrepreneur approached us with a bold vision for AI-powered smart glasses, we saw the opportunity to shape something meaningful & unique.
Not smart glasses that demand attention, but AI eyewear that quietly belongs in daily life.
From the start, the project was driven by clarity rather than feature overload. Analogy worked closely with the founder to define the right balance between AI capabilities, wearable comfort, and design aesthetics. Every design decision considered real usage scenarios, long wear hours, and how the product would feel after weeks of daily use. This ensured the smart glasses remained intuitive, lightweight, and emotionally appealing.The process combined concept design, rapid prototyping, and hardware engineering to validate comfort and form early. Integrated speakers, a 12MP camera, and embedded systems were carefully positioned to avoid bulk and pressure points. By aligning product strategy with manufacturing realities, the design evolved into a scalable consumer electronics product ready for market adoption.

The problem
Bulky Wearables Feel Awkward
Oversized smart glasses quickly cause fatigue, draw unwanted attention, and break everyday usability. When hardware feels heavy on the face, users abandon the product regardless of features.

Always On Camera
An exposed camera creates discomfort, trust issues, and hesitation in social and professional settings. Without clear visual privacy cues, adoption becomes a barrier rather than an advantage.

One Size Limits
Smart eyewear built without flexibility struggles across industries and use cases. Lack of customization restricts deployment for different workflows, teams, and business needs.

A lightweight, privacy conscious, and modular AI eyewear system engineered for comfort, adaptability, and real world scalability across consumer and enterprise use cases.
Analogy Design translated complex requirements into a wearable product that feels natural, intentional, and future ready.
The team reworked the frame architecture to reduce visual and physical bulk while maintaining structural integrity. Hardware components were repositioned through iterative CAD modeling and functional prototyping to achieve balanced weight distribution. Comfort was validated through real wear testing rather than assumptions.Privacy and flexibility were built into the product logic from the start. The design allows clear camera awareness while supporting modular features that adapt across business needs. Design for manufacture ensured the system could scale without introducing complexity, cost inflation, or inconsistent quality.
