Solos just announced AirGo Vision, their newest smart glasses, featuring the most advanced technology available on the market.
Today we physically search for information on our phones, tablets and computers. However, ChatGPT continues to push us to the desired destination: hands-free. We can command our devices by voice to look up something of increasing complexity, but what about glasses? A wearable that can display the map while we walk, or even send a text message.
According to Meta’s Ray Ban smart glasses, this is the only other major competitor on the market. ZDNET, without naming any other companies, shows that there is a fertile gap to be filled where fashion and technology can marry.
AirGo Vision can search for information using visual input
The company released AirGo3 smart glasses with ChatGPT earlier this year ZDNET reported. As a CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree, experts already recognized their latest model as innovative. AirGo Vision, their latest smart glasses, offers even more advanced technology features.
Equipped with GPT-4o, a more robust version of ChatGPT, users can create their own assistant. The combination of these technologies, powered by a camera, gives these glasses the gift of super vision.
“By harnessing the power of voice and AI, we can experience and interact with the world in a whole new way. Whether that means feeling confident as we travel with our AI-powered translator, feeling refreshed and productive as we work on posture corrections, or even feeling adventurous as we try a new recipe read out to us as we cook. All of this can be done without needing earbuds or looking at your phone,” said Kenneth Fan, Co-Founder of Solos, about AIRGO3.
In addition, AirGo Vision can search for information with visual input. It can recognize people, objects and landmarks, which is comparable to Meta’s Ray-Ban sunglasses, he said ZDNET. However, the GPT-4o clearly sets them apart from the rest and makes them the first of their kind.
It can take pictures of a book or menu and execute a series of commands, such as “what am I looking at, how much is it, and is there a better price somewhere else?” according to their press release, reported by ZDNET.
The SmartHinge frames, like other models like the AIRGO3, make the hardware customizable. Users can change the frames to suit the occasion and even fly ‘solo’. In other words, without a camera. Finally, AirGo Vision glasses alert the wearer with a discreet flash powered by an LED of incoming calls or emails with a built-in LED light that flashes discreetly.
Get rid of our phones?
According to the Solos website, the first smart glasses came from Philips in 2004. Today, they say, almost every industry uses smart glasses, so they could become the phone’s competitor as many consumers prefer to talk with their headphones on. If the sunglasses are fashionable enough and technologically attractive, then traveling the world with them might just make life easier.
The new smart glasses, which will be released in July with three styles of LED-only frames for $249.99, are worth a try, because hands-free is the way to go. The next generation of wearables is here, with a host of innovations spreading across the industry: sunglasses, headbands, necklaces with therapeutic functions, even fabric sensors that can be integrated into clothing, it’s as if the technology itself is becoming increasingly a part of us.
It seems that soon we will all be talking to ourselves.
