  Why It Matters: The AirGo Vision is set to challenge MetasRay-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, which currently dominate the market.

  Metas smart glasses, launched in 2023, were the first to feature built-in Meta AI, allowing users to interact with the AI hands-free. This was a significant technological advancement in the smart glasses industry.

  Earlier this year, Meta announced plans to introduce AI features, such as translation and object identification, to its smart glasses. The companys AI features had been in early access since December.

  With the introduction of the AirGo Vision, Solos is poised to challenge Metas dominance in the smart glasses market, offering a viable alternative with advanced AI capabilities.
