Qianwen AI glasses are exhibited at AWE: The venue is packed, and audiences are queuing up for trial wears.

On March 12, the China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (abbreviated as “AWE 2026”) opened in Shanghai, and the Qianwen AI glasses made their first public appearance in China. The on - site audience queued up to try them on, and many viewers said, “They look ordinary in daily life and offer a great AI experience. I want to place an order right now!”

As one of the world's three major household appliances and consumer electronics exhibitions, this year's AWE adopted the “one exhibition, two zones” model for the first time: the main exhibition area is located at the Shanghai New International Expo Center, and the newly - established exhibition area is in the Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone. The scale of the exhibition has expanded to 13 exhibition halls, covering an area of 170,000 square meters, and a large number of cutting - edge technologies were on display. Among them, AI glasses, as one of the important forms of AI terminals, became a highly - focused track at this exhibition.

At the Qianwen booth, the experience area was crowded with people. “The voice wake - up function is very sensitive, and it can respond almost immediately when you speak,” said a viewer who had just tried on the glasses. “I just tested the translation and photo - taking functions. It should be very convenient if I wear them when traveling abroad.”

Many viewers showed great interest in the product's appearance. “These glasses look almost the same as ordinary glasses and don't seem overly 'tech - savvy,'” said an on - site viewer while trying them on and asking the staff, “If I can get them with my myopia prescription, they'll be even more suitable for daily wear. I want to place an order right now.”

The staff of Qianwen AI glasses introduced that many viewers were experiencing AI glasses for the first time, and they were most interested in the AI assistant and real - time translation functions. “Many people would continuously try different scenarios, such as asking about the weather, getting navigation, doing translation, taking photos, and listening to music.” Shortly after the exhibition started, the experience devices were in high - frequency use. “Basically, as soon as one viewer took them off, the next one would immediately put them on.”

Previously, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Qianwen AI glasses attracted the attention of global media and the industry with their innovative “hot - swappable battery” design, all - day wearing comfort, and deeply integrated “AI service” capabilities.

On March 8, the Qianwen AI glasses G1 went on sale in stock. The stock in some channels was sold out within 3 hours of the launch, and the market response was extremely enthusiastic.
