Google Introduces New 'Hey Gemini' Wake Word with Smart Glasses

Google has officially introduced the 'Hey Gemini' wake word, which debuts with the new Intelligent Eyewear smart glasses created in partnership with Samsung, Gentle Monster, and Warby Parker. Users can now choose to start voice interactions by saying 'Hey Gemini' instead of relying solely on the traditional 'Hey Google' or 'OK Google' commands. While the new wake word is currently available on these smart glasses, it remains unconfirmed if or when Google will roll it out to other devices in its hardware ecosystem, such as smartphones or smart home products. The classic wake words are not going away immediately, leaving users with multiple options for now.
