Smart glasses: Can the Solos AirGo Vision augment reality and artificial intelligence?

Solos AirGo Vision: The next generation of smart glasses

With the AirGo Vision, Solos has brought innovative smart glasses onto the market that represent serious competition to the established Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. With the integration of advanced AI technology, versatile hardware equipment and a customizable design, Solos sets new standards in the field of intelligent wearables.

The Solos AirGo Vision is not a fully-fledged augmented reality (AR) glasses in the classic sense:

• It does not have a display that shows visual information in the user's field of vision.
• There is no visual overlay for navigation instructions or other AR content.

Instead, the AirGo Vision focuses on other smart functions:

• It uses AI-powered voice support by integrating GPT-4o and other AI models.
• A camera enables object recognition and image capture (in the camera version).
• Integrated speakers reproduce audio information.
• An LED shows notifications.

The AirGo Vision can therefore be described as a type of “audio AR” or “AI-supported smart glasses”. It expands the user's reality primarily through voice interaction and AI functions, not through visual AR elements.

Intelligent technology meets attractive design

Solos recently presented the AirGo Vision, a new pair of smart glasses that are positioning themselves as serious competitors to the already established Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. “With this introduction, Solos shows once again that smart glasses are no longer just futuristic accessories, but can become practical companions in everyday life.” The AirGo Vision combines advanced AI functions, an attractive design and versatile customization options. Particularly interesting is the integration of GPT-4o, a highly advanced multimodal AI provided by the company OpenAI. According to Solos, this technology not only allows precise object recognition, but also supports users with translation, navigation and other everyday tasks. In addition, the glasses are available in different variants: a version with a camera for $299, which directly competes with the Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses, as well as a model without a camera for $249, which is aimed at users who particularly value data protection and privacy place.

Technological basis: GPT-4o and other AI models

“The AirGo Vision integrates OpenAI’s GPT-4o for multimodal AI processing,” says Solos. This statement underlines the high technological standards that the manufacturer pursues. Many experts agree that real competition in the smart glasses market can only emerge if the glasses have more than just basic notification functions. That's why Solos has placed a lot of emphasis on integrating advanced technology. GPT-4o is intended to be the central component that makes it possible to recognize objects, provide live translations and project contextual information directly into the wearer's field of vision. The glasses also support additional AI models such as Google Gemini and Anthropics Claude to ensure the greatest possible flexibility. With this step, Solos is responding to the rapidly growing demand for AI services that cover various application areas such as education, work and leisure.

Object recognition: An innovative function for everyday life and leisure

One of the most exciting features of AirGo Vision is object detection. “The glasses recognize people, objects and sights in real time,” said a company spokesman. This makes it possible to immediately retrieve useful background information about the detected object or person. For example, if you are walking through a busy city and see a historical monument, you can find out more about its history and significance at the touch of a button or even with a voice command. Together with the high-resolution camera, which can also take photos and videos, the result is a practical tool for tourists, history buffs and anyone who would like to simplify their everyday life with the help of technology.

Live translations: language processing in real time

GPT-4o's language processing also enables live translations, which capture not only texts but also spoken language in real time and display or read aloud to the user in their preferred language. Anyone who frequently travels on business trips or spontaneously needs help understanding foreign language signs or menus while on vacation will benefit immensely from this function. Not only English-German or German-English is conceivable, but a variety of other languages ​​that are usually covered by AI models such as GPT-4o, Google Gemini or Anthropics Claude.

Navigation support: Never lose your orientation again

Another key feature of the AirGo Vision is the practical navigation support. “The AI ​​can not only provide simple directions, but also adapt them to the user’s individual situation,” emphasizes Solos. This means that the glasses recognize where you are in real time and display relevant information in the field of vision. Users no longer have to constantly take out their smartphone to check a map to see whether they are still on the right route. Instead, the glasses can use built-in speakers to give voice instructions or show arrows in the glasses display that discreetly but effectively point you in the right direction.

Design and hardware: elegance and adaptability

When it comes to the design and hardware features, Solos made sure that the glasses fit into the wearer's everyday outfit without being too intrusive. The AirGo Vision comes standard with a slim frame that can be purchased in two main styles: Krypton 1, which has a more angular and distinctive shape, and Krypton 2, which is a little more subtle. If that's still not enough for you, you can also purchase frames called Argon and Xeon, each of which provides an individual feel and style. “Users can even choose whether they want to have a camera integrated or not,” says the company. This focus on adaptability shows that Solos is aware of the concerns many people have when it comes to constantly wearing a camera on their nose. If you want to feel more comfortable when it comes to data protection, you can choose the version without a camera.

Audio playback and battery life: focus on suitability for everyday use

The built-in speakers ensure that you can hear not only navigation instructions, but also music or calls via the glasses. According to Solos, the quality of the speakers is completely sufficient for everyday use, although you have to be prepared for a higher volume outside in a loud environment. For discreet notifications, the AirGo Vision has a small LED light that flashes when messages or calls arrive. “Thanks to the USB-C charging port, the device can be charged easily,” explains Solos. According to the company, when the battery is full, the glasses last for around ten hours of music playback or seven hours of talk time. These values ​​sound promising, especially when you consider that such technologies often have to contend with higher energy consumption.

Modular AI: Flexibility through multiple models

A big reason AirGo Vision is making waves in the tech world is the ability to switch between different AI models. “In addition to GPT-4o, Google Gemini and Anthropics Claude can also be used,” reports a tester who was able to try out the glasses in advance. So users not only have one AI option, but can choose the one that best suits their needs. For example, you can use GPT-4o for particularly complex language translations or topic research, while Google Gemini scores points in other areas. This modular approach underlines that Solos is aware of the variety of AI solutions on the market and does not want to limit customers to just one.

Smart glasses for everyone, not just technology enthusiasts

Another exciting question is how the AI ​​functions can be specifically integrated into everyday life. Many people think of smart glasses as just toys for technology enthusiasts, but Solos is trying to appeal to a wide audience with the AirGo Vision. “The glasses are not only aimed at early adopters, but at everyone who wants to meaningfully integrate technology into their daily lives,” said a company spokesman. Conceivable scenarios range from cooking, where recipes can be displayed directly in your field of vision, to DIY, where AI provides step-by-step instructions, to professional use in industries such as logistics or medicine. In the future, smart glasses could replace route notes or show doctors context-relevant information about the patient during treatment.

Privacy through removable camera

The removable nature of the camera is particularly interesting for many users who do not want to constantly record their surroundings. Privacy is therefore given greater consideration. According to Solos, the AI ​​functionality is largely retained even without a camera, although some features such as real-time object detection are limited. “With the ability to remove the camera, Solos gives users more control over their experience with smart technology,” confirms a company spokeswoman. This feature is likely to be well received in countries with strict data protection regulations, as it alleviates concerns about constant video recording.

Advantages of integrating GPT-4o

The advantages that arise specifically from the integration of GPT-4o include expanded visual processing. Because GPT-4o is able to analyze visual input, the glasses can recognize people, objects and even landmarks. The user immediately receives context-related information. For example, when traveling in a foreign city, you could immediately find out exciting details about the architecture or historical background when visiting historical buildings without having to search for a long time on your smartphone. In addition, there are linguistic skills that enable live translations. “Texts and spoken language can be translated in real time,” explains Solos. This capability is complemented by multimodal processing, as GPT-4o can evaluate both image and audio data.

Practical support in everyday life and at work

Another practical benefit is support with complex tasks, for example when doing home improvement. Anyone who has ever tried to assemble a complicated piece of furniture knows that you quickly juggle between instructions, components and tools. With smart glasses that display step-by-step instructions or provide additional information, many things are easier. The AI ​​also pays off when navigating. Instead of just simple arrows on a map, GPT-4o provides contextual information that can even take pedestrian zones, construction sites or short-term road closures into account. “The AI ​​is capable of learning and can constantly update the context in order to offer the user the smoothest possible navigation experience,” emphasizes Solos.

Flexibility through support for multiple AI models

Flexibility and adaptability are also reflected in the support of multiple AI models. You can use certain features of Google Gemini if ​​you prefer a specific type of image processing or photo sorting, while Anthropics Claude may shine with complex conversation tasks. The user is free to decide what suits him best. In all cases, operation is carried out either by voice command or using minimalist buttons on the glasses frame. “Hands-free operation is one of the key aspects of modern smart technology,” explains the manufacturer. Only when you don't have to constantly hold an additional device in your hand does the true added value of glasses with AI functions become apparent.

Pricing and introduction to the market

The AirGo Vision has been talked about since its announcement, priced at $299 (for the model with camera) and $249 (without camera). “Shipping for pre-orders is scheduled to begin on December 23, 2024,” Solos announced. This date is particularly interesting for those who want to integrate not only a new fashionable companion into their everyday life over the holidays, but also a reliable technological assistant. Given the pricing, which is closely aligned with the market leader Ray-Ban Meta Smartglasses, Solos wants to make it clear that it can compete with the established players in the market in terms of quality and range of functions.

A serious alternative

“The AirGo Vision positions itself as a serious alternative to the Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses,” is a conclusion that could already be read in advance in many tech blogs. What will now be crucial is how the first customers receive the product. Anyone who values ​​AI functions that really enrich everyday life could find a reliable partner in AirGo Vision. The ability to remove the camera should particularly convince those who have previously hesitated to buy smart glasses for data protection reasons. At the same time, the various AI models could represent a particular incentive for users who like to experiment.

Future-oriented adaptability

Ultimately, Solos seems to have struck a chord by offering both tech-savvy buyers and more security-minded individuals a product that is modern, multifunctional, and available in a variety of styles. “With the integration of GPT-4o, Google Gemini and Anthropics Claude, Solos shows that the future of smart glasses does not lie in a rigid solution, but in an adaptable platform that can cover very different needs,” commented an industry expert at the Product presentation. And it is precisely this adaptability that will probably be the main argument when it comes to getting users excited about a new generation of smart glasses.
