Where it fits in smart glasses
12 MP, 1/3.57-inch CMOS sensors built for AI glasses: SC1200IOT (May 2025) and SC1220IOT (Mar 2026; mass production slated for Q2 2026); no customer named.
What the evidence establishes
Smart-glasses evidenceMarketed for smart glasses; no named customer. SmartSens launched 12 MP sensors built for AI glasses, the SC1200IOT and SC1220IOT.
An explicit smart-glasses product, design-in, supply role, program, application page or partnership, including wrist or ring input sold with glasses. For a device maker, it means the company’s own glasses, not a supplier relationship. This does not establish revenue, market share, volumes or future sourcing.

Keep in perspective
No customer is named; the SC1220IOT was slated for mass production in Q2 2026.
Specialist business exposure. This describes the breadth or role of the business; it is not an investment rating. A smart-glasses product, design-in or partnership does not by itself establish material glasses revenue, market share, or future returns.
Connections to the assembly
These links explain the technology relationship. The model is illustrative and does not represent an actual manufacturer’s bill of materials.
12 MP CMOS image sensor
A back-illuminated pixel array under a color filter converts light into data; the SoC’s image signal processor handles HDR, stabilization and compression.
Scope of the company links: Sony’s sensor is teardown-identified in Meta Ray-Ban Display (TechInsights, June 2026); Sony has not confirmed. IMX681 in Xiaomi and Quark glasses is press/spec-sheet only. OmniVision’s 720p OV09734 was in Brilliant Labs Frame (sold out). GalaxyCore reports 5, 8 and 13 MP CIS in mass production in AI-glasses projects (H1 2026 report) and launched the 12 MP GC12C1. SmartSens markets 12 MP AI-glasses sensors (SC1200IOT, SC1220IOT) with no named customer.
