Solos have just announced AirGo Vision, their latest smart glasses that boast the most superior frame technology available.
Today, we physically search for information on our phones, tablets and computers. However, ChatGPT continues to push us towards the desired destination: hands-free. We can voice command our devices to search for something of increasing complexity, but what about glasses? A wearable device that can display the map as we walk or even send a text message.
Meta’s Ray Ban smart glasses are the only other major competitor in the market, according to ZDNET, without mentioning other companies, shows that there is a fertile gap to be filled where fashion and technology can merge.
AirGo Vision can search for information with visual input
The company launched AirGo3 smart glasses with ChatGPT earlier this year, as ZDNET reported. As a winner of the CES 2023 Innovation Award, experts have already recognized their latest model as innovative. AirGo Vision, their latest smart glasses offer even more advanced technological features.
Equipped with GPT-4o, a more stable version of ChatGPT, users can create their own assistant. Powered by a camera, these technologies combine to give these glasses the gift of super vision.
“Using the power of voice and artificial intelligence, we are able to experience and interact with the world in a whole new way – whether that means feeling confident traveling with our AI-powered translator, feeling refreshed and productive from working on postural adjustments, or even feeling adventurous by trying a new recipe that is read aloud while you cook. All of this is possible without needing a headset or looking at your phone,” Kenneth Phan, co-founder of Solos, told AIRGO3.
In addition, AirGo Vision can search for information with visual input. It can recognize people, objects and landmarks, which is similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban sunglasses, according to ZDNET. However, GPT-4o sets it apart remarkably, making them the first of their kind.
It can take pictures of a book or menu and execute a set of commands such as “what am I looking at, how much does it cost and is there a better price elsewhere?” according to their press release reported by ZDNET.
SmartHinge frames, like other models like the AIRGO3, make the hardware customizable. Users can swap frames to “fit the occasion” and even fly “solo.” No camera, in other words. Finally, the AirGo Vision glasses notify the wearer with a discreet LED-powered flash for incoming calls or emails with a built-in LED light that blinks discreetly.
Goodbye to our phones?
According to the Solos website, the first pair of smart glasses came from Philips in 2004. Today, they say that almost every industry uses smart glasses, so they can become a competitor to the phone, as many users prefer to talk with their headphones. If sunglasses are fashionable and technologically attractive enough, then getting around the world with them might just make life easier.
Expected to launch in July with three styles of LED frames only at $249.99, the new smart glasses are worth checking out because hands-free is the way to be. The next generation of wearables is here with a host of innovations spanning industries: sunglasses, headbands, necklaces with therapeutic functions and even fabric sensors to be integrated into clothing, as if the technology itself is becoming more and more a part of us.
Sounds like we’ll all be talking to ourselves soon.
