• Additional Functionalities: Beyond visual recognition, the glasses offer text translation, navigation assistance, and contextual information about the user's surroundings. They also support multiple AI models, including Anthropic’s Claude and Google’s Gemini, providing flexibility for tech-savvy users.

The AirGo Vision is available in two styles—Krypton 1 and Krypton 2—and comes in seven different color options. The glasses are constructed using TR90 thermoplastic material, ensuring durability and comfort. They are available for purchase through Solos' official website and Amazon.
