AI Features
The glasses include an AI assistant named Goya, designed specifically for travelers. Goya can provide information about artworks in museums, take photos for analysis, and offer restaurant recommendations.
CEO Gary Chen stated that the glasses are focused on travelers and that the AI can answer questions about paintings (e.g., the Mona Lisa) and provide restaurant suggestions. He did not provide the subscription cost.
