How INMO’s GO3 smart glasses are redefining social interaction – with ZhuoHao Technology as the manufacturing force behind the scenes
The Thinnest AI Glasses Yet – With a Social Mission
On October 16th, INMO Technology unveiled the GO3 AI glasses in Chengdu – a device that combines sleek design (8mm temples) with practical innovation (5-second magnetic battery swaps). But beyond the hardware specs lies a more ambitious vision: redefining how we connect with people around us.
While functions like AI translation, teleprompting, and meeting assistance address productivity needs, it’s the “AR Social Business Card” that hints at something transformative. Backed by social platform Momo’s investment, INMO is exploring what happens when glasses recognize people in your view and display their information in real-time.
Social Cards 1.0: Ending “Sorry, You Are…?” Moments
Every professional knows the awkwardness of forgotten names and missed connections. Current solutions – physical business cards, WeChat notes – require active searching. But when you bump into someone in an elevator or at a conference, there’s no time to look things up.
INMO’s approach uses offline facial recognition to display names, companies, and even previous conversation topics the moment you see someone. The result? You can address people by name and reference past discussions, turning awkward encounters into meaningful connections.
A Different Path from Meta’s AR Social Strategy
Meta’s approach with Ray-Ban smart glasses integrates Instagram and WhatsApp, focusing on content creation and sharing. It simplifies posting and messaging but essentially moves phone functions to your face.
INMO takes a fundamentally different direction: instead of optimizing content production, it enhances real-world relationship recognition. The glasses help you understand and connect with people around you rather than just documenting what you see.
Both approaches might coexist in future AR glasses, but INMO’s focus on augmenting real-world social intelligence represents a fresh take on wearable technology’s potential.
From Recognition to Understanding: Information That Appears When Needed
If remembering names is Social Cards 1.0, then Social Cards 2.0 transforms people into interactive information nodes. Imagine meeting a long-term client and seeing not just their name but also project timelines, key milestones, and current discussion points automatically integrated from various sources.
The glasses could even help maintain relationships by prompting you when you haven’t contacted important connections in 30 days, suggesting conversation starters based on their recent activities like funding rounds or product launches.
This represents a fundamental redesign of social interaction – moving away from “open app-browse-filter-message” toward “see-understand-connect.”
When Data Becomes a Social Catalyst
The next evolution involves understanding people’s states and intentions. With deeper AI-AR-ecosystem integration, we might see:
- Fitness socializing: Recognizing serious gym enthusiasts based on training duration and weights
- Interest matching: Displaying coffee or reading preferences in cafes and bookstores
- Emotion reading: Analyzing micro-expressions and vocal tones (already technically feasible)
These capabilities could make data the new standard for compatibility, moving beyond verbal claims to behavior-based matching.
The Manufacturing Partner Behind the Vision
Transforming ambitious concepts like the GO3 into reliable, mass-producible devices requires expert manufacturing partners. This is where ZhuoHao Technology plays a crucial role as a leading smart glasses manufacturer and OEM/ODM provider.
ZhuoHao enables innovators like INMO by providing:
✅ Advanced assembly capabilities for complex optical-electrical integration
✅ Precision manufacturing for slim-form designs with 8mm temples
✅ Scalable production to meet market demand
✅ Quality assurance for all-day wearable devices
As AR glasses evolve from prototypes to everyday accessories, manufacturing expertise becomes as important as technological innovation.
The Future: Invisible Technology, Visible Impact
The best technology disappears into the background. When you wear INMO GO3 into a meeting and see a client’s information briefly appear then fade, the technology has done its job – letting you focus on the actual conversation.
As Arthur C. Clarke noted, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” AR social magic might ultimately help us see each other more clearly – not just data.
Social Cards 1.0 is just the beginning.
