As well as the usual consumer electronics fare, like TVs, soundbars and fridges, theCES trade showin Las Vegas throws up some more unique and innovative products each year. The latest is no exception, with plenty of interesting gadgets and gizmos being launched.
One of them is the Swarovski Optix AX Visio – the brand’s first pair of smart binoculars (although not its first; check ourSwarovski NL Pure 10x42 review) that, as well as looking great, thanks to design from the world-renowned Marc Newson (Smeg, Louis Vuitton,Apple), also come with the ability to identify more than 9,000 birds and other wildlife.

These binoculars are certainly among thebest products of CES 2024, with a software core built in that features an object recognition system. The neural processing unit (NPU) can assess what’s being viewed in real-time, which enables the user to focus on a bird or animal and get a read-out within the viewfinder of its species.
The 32mm binoculars have 10x magnification and also contain a camera, so you can take pictures of what you see. You can then share them with youriPhoneorAndroiddevice using the Swarovski Optik Outdoor App.
It is also possible to use that app to share discoveries with other AX Visio users, who will get arrow markers within the display to help guide them to the right location.
