Accessibility-focused tech provider Envision has partnered with eyewear company Solos to launch new smart glasses specifically designed for blind and low-vision users. The Ally Solos Glasses are available to pre-order today for $399, which Envision says is a “special launch pricing” that’s discounted from $699. This view of the Ally Solos glasses shows the cameras located on each side of the frame. Envision has previously released assistive eyewear built on the now-defunct Google Glass hardware, for example, and AI vision interpretation features provided by the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses have already been embraced by the low-vision community. It’s unclear how the Ally Solos Glasses’ capabilities will compare to more affordable rivals, given $699 is considerably pricier than the $299 AirGo Vision and Ray-Ban Meta.
