What’s new about Solos smart glasses have eyes of your own The company has announced AirGo Vision, the first smart glasses with GPT-4o and generative artificial intelligence (AI) that can analyze visual information.
So why do you need glasses? ChatGPT? Instead of using a service like Google Lens on your phone to search for something, Solos says AirGo Vision will provide real-time information based on visual information, such as recognizing people, objects or landmarks (similar to Ray-Ban smart glasses from Meta), or give walking directions, check the price of something, and more.

Users can capture hands-free photos to request information, such as looking up the next step in a recipe or asking where to purchase an item.
The glasses will be able to answer multiple queries at the same time. An example search in the Solos press ad reads: “What am I looking at and how much does it cost? Is there a better price elsewhere?”
Also: These new AR smart glasses are betting heavily on audio and ChatGPT and start at $199
AirGo Vision will have interchangeable frames, meaning you can decide whether you want smart glasses with a front camera or without a camera.
A built-in notification LED light will give you a discreet flash to let you know you have an alert. Solos says visual alerts could be useful in a noisy environment where notifications may go unnoticed, a quiet environment where someone has notifications turned off, and for users who may have hearing issues.
Also: The metaverse has practically disappeared. That’s why generative AI is to blame
AirGo Vision is not Solos’ first foray into the world of AI smart glasses. The company presented the Solos AirGo3 Smart Glasses with ChatGPT at CES 2024. While the AirGo3 Solos uses audio to let you talk to ChatGPT, the AirGo Vision glasses let you search for information with visual input.
AirGo Vision will be available later this year, with three LED-only frame styles launching in July and an MSRP of $249.99.
