World’s 1st smart glasses with GPT-4o identify objects, answer queries

Solos just announced AirGo Vision, their latest smart glasses, boasts the most superior technology available on frames. Today, we physically search for information on our phones, tablets, and computers. ChatGPT continues to thrust us, however, toward the desired destination: hands-free. We can vocally command our devices to look something up with increasing complexity, but what about glasses? A wearable that could display the map as we’re walking, or even send a text. Meta’s Ray Ban smart glasses, as the only other major competitor on the market, according to ZDNET, without any other companies mentioned, demonstrates that a fertile gap seeks to be filled where fashion and technology can marry.

AirGo Vision can search for information with visual input

The company released AirGo3 smart glasses with ChatGPT earlier this year, as ZDNET reported. As a CES 2023 Innovation Award Honoree, experts already recognized their last model as innovative. AirGo Vision, their newest smart glasses offers even more advanced technological features. Equipped with GPT-4o, a more robust version of ChatGPT, users can create their very own assistant. Powered by a camera, these technologies combined empower these glasses with the gift of super sight. “Using the power of voice and AI we’re able to experience and interact with the world in a whole new way—whether that means we feel confident traveling with our AI-powered translator, we feel refreshed and productive from working on posture corrections, or even feel adventurous trying a new recipe that’s read aloud as you cook. All of this is possible without needing earbuds or looking at your phone,” says Kenneth Fan, Solos co-founder, about AIRGO3. Furthermore, 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, the GPT-4o sets it remarkably apart, making them the first of their kind. It can snap photos of a book or menu and carry out a set of commands such as “what am I looking at, how much does it cost, and is there a better price somewhere else?” as per their press release, reported on by ZDNET. The SmartHinge frames, similarly to other models such as the AIRGO3, make the hardware customizable. Users can swap the frames to “match the occasion” and even fly “solo.” Without a camera, in other words. Finally, AirGo Vision glasses notify the wearer with a discrete flash powered by an LED of incoming calls or emails with a built-in LED light that flashes discretely.

Bye bye to our phones?

As per Solos’ website, the first pair of smart glasses came from Philips in 2004. Today, they state, nearly 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 appealing, then moving through the world with them might just make life easier. Set to be released in July with three styles of LED-only frames at $249.99, the new smart glasses deserve a try, as hands-free is the way to be. The next generation of wearables is here with a host of innovations sweeping across 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 pretty soon.
