INMO GO3 smart glasses pack a display and Gemini integration with clever camera privacy

The INMO GO3 smart glasses offer a unique combination of a display and integration with Google's Gemini, addressing two main issues with current smart glasses. First, they provide the futuristic display that many desire, and second, they tackle the camera privacy concerns that have been a major point of friction. The glasses promise to deliver an AI-forward pair of smart glasses that help users stay connected and accomplish tasks more efficiently, all while reducing reliance on their phones.

Unlike most existing smart glasses, the INMO GO3 features an actual display in front of the user's eyes, enabling seamless interaction without disrupting conversations or constantly glancing at a phone. The MicroLED displays, one for each eye, boast a brightness of up to 1,500 nits and a 30-degree field-of-view, ensuring clear visuals for various applications.

One of the key features of the INMO GO3 is its real-time translation capabilities, supporting 98 languages and offering 13 languages offline. The glasses detect speech from the person in front of the user and display the translation directly in their field of vision, eliminating the need to use a phone as an intermediary for overcoming language barriers. Additionally, the glasses can take notes during meetings and soon will provide summaries through the glasses themselves.

The display on the INMO GO3 can also function as a teleprompter or enable interaction with an AI assistant. Powered by Google's Gemini and OpenAI's ChatGPT, the AI assistant can perform various tasks such as answering questions, recognizing camera images, and taking notes. The glasses can also provide turn-by-turn navigation, allowing users to get around without the need for their phones.

Despite the added functionality, the INMO GO3 remains lightweight, weighing only 58 grams, which is only slightly heavier than Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses without a display. The temples are designed to be unobtrusive, making the glasses appear like ordinary eyewear. One of the most intriguing features is the interchangeable battery, allowing users to simply swap out the drained power pack with a charged one, maintaining continuous use without interruptions.

To address privacy concerns related to the camera, INMO has included a physical cover that can be placed over the lens, visibly indicating when the camera is not in use. The glasses also come with additional accessories such as a speaker for responding to others in their language using an AI clone of the user's voice, a controller ring for interacting with software without touching the glasses, and the option to add sunglasses covers and prescription lens inserts for enhanced usability in various situations.
