Glasses that look like regular glasses but do more than just correct vision – this is the concept behind Milan from the Berlin-based brand L'Atitude 52°N. Integrated into their elegant frame, reminiscent of classic models, is a 12-megapixel Sony camera with a wide-angle lens, the Goya AI assistant, and a real-time translation function for five languages. This is an attempt to make wearable electronics less conspicuous, yet functional. Milan's main feature is how it masks its capabilities. Instead of a futuristic design, it boasts a classic silhouette and a weight of around 50 grams, making them lightweight for everyday wear. The 1080p camera and AI chip process images directly on-site, while the Goya assistant manages calls, navigation, and can even identify landmarks, providing a 30-second audio commentary. The translation function works both ways, which is particularly useful when traveling. The manufacturer emphasizes privacy: photos and videos are stored locally and deleted after synchronization, and Goya's cloud data is not saved. A physical recording indicator and GDPR compliance underscore this approach. Priced at Milan competes not so much on raw specifications (1080p video is not the maximum on the market) as on design and thoughtful privacy. Six hours of mixed use should be enough for a day out, and the charging case provides up to ten full recharges.
