Sharge, a brand better known for power banks, today introduced a new base platform for AI glasses. Alongside it, the company also unveiled the first two products built on this platform, the Sharge Loomos AI Photography Glasses L1 and the Sharge Loomos AI Display Glasses S1.

The company says its Loomos platform focuses on fixing long-standing problems in the AI glasses category. These include discomfort during long use, limited personalization, awkward designs, privacy concerns, and battery life that doesn’t really match the daily routines of users. 

So instead of adding features for the sake of it, Sharge is trying to narrow in on what smart glasses are actually useful for and then design hardware around those use cases.

Sharge Loomos L1

The first product based on this philosophy is Loomos L1. It’s built on what Sharge calls “Phoenix Architecture 1.0,” which moves the camera module out of the front frame and into the temple. This shifts the center of gravity toward the ear and makes the glasses feel lighter on the face. 

On the imaging side, the L1 uses a Sony IMX681 sensor paired with a 111-degree ultra-wide lens and an f/2.2 aperture. It supports 12-megapixel photos and relies on AI image processing and electronic image stabilization to keep shots usable for casual recording, work documentation, or quick snapshots. 

For the audio, the company has worked with Goertek to design customized speakers that reduce distortion and improve low-frequency output. It also cuts down sound leakage by 10dB. 

The Loomos L1 comes in ten frame styles, multiple sizes, and several materials and color options. There’s also a physical lens cover for privacy and a portable battery-swapping case that allows quick battery replacement. For prescription users, Sharge has built a fitting system that uses AI matching and 3D-printed try-on processes to tailor the glasses more precisely.

Software-wise, the L1 runs Loom OS 2.0, which introduces an AI “active memory” system. The glasses can automatically record and organize moments into a personal memory bank. 

Sharge is also working with memories.ai to develop an AI memory engine that can search, summarize, and generate short videos from captured content. 

Sharge Loomos S1

The second glasses-based on the Loomos platform is the Loomos S1. Built on “Phoenix Architecture 2.0,” it uses a titanium alloy frame and lightweight composite materials to cut weight in half compared to traditional display glasses. 

The S1 also features a flexible front frame with adjustable curvature and a new “Dragonfly Optical Engine” developed with Appotronics that supports asynchronous displays and true 3D effects for each eye.

Audio on the S1 comes from a silicon-based chip-level speaker that fits into a very small space while maintaining voice privacy. 

Unlike the L1, the S1 focuses more on proactive AI assistance. It has built-in sensors to continuously monitor the environment and deliver timely reminders and information. Sharge likes to call it a “glance-based” assistant that gives quick updates without pulling out the phone.
