Solos’ latest smart glasses have eyes of their own. The company has unveiled AirGo Vision, the first smart glasses powered by GPT-4o and generative artificial intelligence (AI) that can analyze visual input.
So why do you need ChatGPT on your glasses? Instead of using a service like Google Lens on your smartphone to find something, AirGo Vision provides real-time information based on your visual input, such as recognizing people, objects, and landmarks (similar to Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses), giving you walking directions, or checking the price of something.
Also, How to Use ChatGPT (and Access GPT-4o)
Wearers can take hands-free photos and ask for information, such as the next steps in a recipe or where to buy an item.
The glasses can answer multiple questions at once — one example search in Soros’ press release reads, “What am I looking at, and how much is it? Is there something cheaper somewhere?”
Plus: These new AR smart glasses bet big on audio and ChatGPT, and prices start at $199
AirGo Vision comes with interchangeable frames, allowing you to decide whether you want smart glasses with a front camera or without one.
A built-in LED notification light unobtrusively flashes to let you know you have an alert, and Soros says the visual alert can be useful in noisy environments where you might miss a notification, in quiet environments where others have turned off notifications, and for users who may have hearing loss.
Plus: The Metaverse Has Effectively Disappeared, and Here’s Why Generative AI Is to Blame
AirGo Vision isn’t Solos’ first foray into AI-powered smart glasses: the company unveiled the Solos AirGo3 smart glasses with ChatGPT at CES 2024. While the Solos AirGo3 lets you converse with ChatGPT using voice, the AirGo Vision glasses let you search for information with visual input.
AirGo Vision is expected to launch later this year with three LED-only frames available in July, with a suggested retail price of $249.99.
