I Went Birding With the World’s First AI-Powered Binoculars
Swarovski Optik’s new AX Visio binoculars use image-recognition algorithms and GPS data to discern the species of whatever bird you point them at. And they work anywhere in the world.
On the bridge of the binoculars is the mode-selection wheel, which is easily rotated to move between the AX Visio’s settings, including the species identification modes for birds, mammals, butterflies, and dragonflies. The ability to witness, identify, and document bird species simultaneously saved me precious time to observe flighty wildlife, and I never had to switch between devices and potentially miss a moment. The innovation of AX Visio marks a paradigm shift in the technology of binoculars by making them a more useful tool able to seamlessly identify animals and capture images and video on the same device.
