Chinese power supply company, SHARGE, has launched a pair of GPT-4o-powered smart glasses with a 16-megapixel camera capable of capturing 4K photos and 1080p videos. Like the Looktech AI glasses and Meta Ray-Ban series, the Loomos AI smart glasses have no onboard display. Instead, they feature a microphone array, onboard speakers, and side buttons for user control and feedback.
The Loomos glasses are powered by a 2.0Ghz UNISOC quad-core processor and come integrated with the multi-modal GPT-4o for real-time AI assistance. The stated battery life is much more impressive than the competition at 40 hours of standby time (from a 450mAh battery). The company also offers a 6,500mAh neckband power bank for uninterrupted all-day wearing.
The company promises security and privacy with the glasses. Data is processed anonymously with TLS encryption and users retain full control of their data. The glasses also include an indicator light to alert people around when you are recording, similar to the Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Loomos AI glasses specifications:
- SoC – UNISOC AI Processor with 4 cores (1x Cortex-A75 + 3x Cortex-A55) @ up to 2.0GHz (It looks like the Tiger T310 but it does not have AI features being released in 2019)
- Memory – 2GB RAM
- Storage – 32GB eMMC flash
- Camera – 16MP Camera
- Audio – AAC 0920 Speaker, 3-array directional microphone
- Networking – WiFi, BLE 5.0
- Misc – Media Control Touch Pane, Adjustable Nose Pads
- Power Supply – 450mAh Battery
- Dimensions – 53mm – 20mm – 164mm (lens width, bridge width, and temple length)
- Weight – 49 grams
The smart glasses are powered by OpenAI’s multimodal GPT-4o model and are said to be capable of independent operation with Wi-Fi connectivity. The dedicated mobile app – available on Android and iOS – allows you to track the glasses and access captured videos and images.
The Loomos GPT-4o AI glasses are currently available on Kickstarter at a Super Early Bird price starting at $199 ($299 MSRP). The glasses come with a one-year GPT-4o subscription, magnetic top frame cover, case, nose pads, charging cable, cleaning cloth, and a user manual. Add-ons include a magnetic sunglasses clip ($20), neckband power bank ($49), and different prescription lens options (priced based on specification).
The loomos glasses are cheaper than Looktech and Meta Ray Ban Glasses and they have a better onboard camera and a larger battery for more hours of operation.
