Components, Display, and AI Services Industry, Academia, Research Institutions, and Government Gather Together
 
A forum has opened for discussion on securing AI glass technology and forming a domestic industrial ecosystem. Industry, academia, research institutions, and government came together to create a cooperative structure encompassing core components, spatial intelligence, and AI services.
 
ETRI announced on the 17th that it held the 'AI-in-Glass Forum 2026' on the 15th at the Grand Ballroom of the Royal Hotel in Myeongdong, Seoul.

This event was organized as part of the 'AI In-Glass Technology Development for Personal AI Agents' project being conducted by ETRI with support from the Ministry of Science and ICT.

Under the theme of 'Putting AI in Front of Your Eyes, Connecting Technology and Industry: Toward Korea's AI Glass Ecosystem,' representatives from the fields of △core components △display △devices △spatial intelligence △AI agents △and application services attended to discuss domestic cooperation directions.
 
AI glasses are next-generation devices that recognize the wearer's surrounding environment and provide necessary information and services within the field of view.

The range of applications is expanding as lightweight and low-power technology, spatial computing, and generative and multimodal AI technology converge.

It is expected to expand into various fields including industrial operation support, remote collaboration, education and training, and everyday services.

ETRI believes that when AI glasses are combined with spatial intelligence and AI agents, they can evolve into an intelligent platform that provides contextual information without separate commands.

In the forum's keynote speech, Professor Woo Woon-taek from KAIST presented on 'The Future of AI Glasses: Collaborative Augmented Intelligence.'

Following this, DeepFine CEO Kim Hyun-bae and Sapien Semiconductor CEO Lee Myung-hee respectively introduced spatial intelligence services and display technology.

ETRI AI In-Glass Strategy Research Center Director Jung Il-kwon presented a research and development strategy centered on spatial intelligence, user and environment understanding, collaborative spatial information, AI agents, and display technology development.
 
In the panel discussion, ETRI Immersive Media Research Division Head Byun Chun-won and representatives from LIG, Phenecia, Bunnect, Kwangwoon University, and Seoul XR Demonstration Center discussed domestic technology acquisition, demand industry linkage, and field demonstration methods.
 
ETRI Spatial Media Research Institute Director Lee Jung-ik stated, "For AI glasses to grow as a new industrial platform, core components, display, devices, spatial intelligence, and AI services must develop together. We will develop this forum into a practical technology and business cooperation venue led by companies and enhance the competitiveness of Korea's AI glass ecosystem," adding that ETRI plans to build a virtuous cycle of cooperation spanning joint research and development, interoperability verification, field demonstration, and commercialization through this forum.
