"Smart Binoculars: AI Revolutionizes Birdwatching with Swarovski and Marc Newson"
Swarovski has introduced the AX Visio, a set of binoculars with AI bird identification feature for $4799, but a cheaper alternative involves using a digital camera, transferring the image to a phone, and using the free Cornell Merlin ID app. The overpriced binoculars use the same ID system available for free on the app, which also identifies birds by their songs.
