AirGo Vision leverages the power of ChatGPT-4o, making it the first of its kind. But that's not all—thanks to its open architecture, you can switch between AI models like Google Gemini and Anthropic Claude for a truly personalized experience.

Xreal has carved a niche with stylish augmented reality (AR) glasses that project a virtual screen for watching movies or gaming in a personal giant cinema.
