The Solos AirGo Vision smart glasses give you access to ChatGPT whenever you need it

Current-generation smart glasses are largely available in two different kinds. Leading the pack on one side is Xreal, which is building smart glasses that connect to devices like your phone or laptop through a wire and can essentially act as a portable monitor. The other kind of smart glasses, however, are perhaps a little more interesting. Smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Ban glasses have a speaker, microphone, and camera, and can use the camera to take pictures and see the world around you, or leverage AI to help you find information.

On the front, they have two camera lenses, which you'll be able to see, while the arms are a little bulkier than you would get on non-smart glasses.
