AI binoculars with bird and animal recognition presented at CES 2024 (video)

Nature and technology lovers, get ready! Swarovski Optik has announced the release of its new AX Visio binoculars, which promise to revolutionize wildlife viewing. Not only can it identify more than 9,000 species of birds and other animals, but it can also record video and take photos.

These binoculars were first demonstrated at CES 2024 in Las Vegas, The Verge reports.

The binoculars are designed by the famous designer Mark Newson. At first glance, they look like ordinary high-end binoculars, but their technological capabilities are impressive.

Thanks to an integrated object recognition system and built-in neural processor, the binoculars can identify the species of bird or animal within seconds. This is made possible by a special button that activates the image processing process.

The specifications are also impressive: 10 x 32 with a field of view of 1000 yards, providing crystal clear images. In addition, the binoculars are equipped with a 13MP camera for photos and 1080p video, with the ability to wirelessly transfer images to the Swarovski Optik Outdoor app.

However, this novelty also has a high price tag of about $4,799, which makes it more of a luxury item than an impulse purchase. The built-in GPS helps to identify animal species depending on the user’s location, which adds additional value.

An interesting “share discoveries” feature allows users to overlay marker arrows in the viewfinder, making it easy to observe together. You can pass the binoculars on to a friend, and they can easily find what you saw.

The Swarovski Optik AX Visio promises to be a new word in the world of wildlife observation. These binoculars provide not only high image quality, but also provide users with unique technological capabilities that were previously unavailable. They are expected to go on sale in February and will undoubtedly attract the attention of both nature lovers and technology enthusiasts.
