2026-07-15 14:30 Last Updated At:14:45

The Vusion platform, now deployed across 54 countries on three continents, enhances operational efficiency for Decathlon teams and improves customer experience.

PARIS, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Vusion, the global leader in digitalization solutions for physical retail, today announced that Decathlon reached the milestone of 700 stores equipped with its digital solutions during the second quarter 2026. The deployment now spans 54 countries across three continents (Europe, South America, and Asia-Pacific), making the sporting goods retailer Vusion's most internationally deployed customer to date.

Operational Efficiency and Greater Value for Store Associates

Voted France's Most Attractive Retailer in 2026[1] and widely recognized for its outstanding customer experience, Decathlon relies on Vusion's platform to automate price management. With instant, synchronized price updates on the electronic shelf labels (ESL), store teams are freed from the time-consuming task of manually replacing paper price tags. As a result, associates can dedicate more time to what lies at the essence of their job: welcoming customers, delivering personalized advice and service to sports enthusiast customers.

Zero Pricing Errors at the Check-Out: A Key Driver of Customer Satisfaction

Beyond the productivity gains for store teams, digital shelf management ensures an excellent level of pricing accuracy. Discrepancies between the shelf price and the price charged at checkout are nearly eliminated. This perfect transparency reinforces customer trust and directly contributes to higher customer satisfaction across the Decathlon network.

"Thanks to ESLs, we have further enhanced the in-store experience while improving our operational efficiency. Deploying connected shelf labels at scale enables us to focus on our core mission: advising and supporting our sports customers. This project delivers immediate, tangible benefits for both our store teams and consumers," commented Xavier Dété, VP Innovation, Decathlon.

"We are particularly proud to support Decathlon, a global retail leader highly valued by its customers and recognized for both the strength of its brand and its commitment to sustainability. This large-scale partnership demonstrates our ability to support leading global retailers and industrialize our cutting-edge solutions in the demanding sporting goods sector—a high-potential market where Vusion continues to strengthen its leadership position," added Sébastien Fourcy, SEVP EMEA, Vusion.

Agile, High-Performance Technology Integration

From a technical perspective, Decathlon leverages Vusion's cloud platform. The electronic shelf labels connect natively and securely to the retailer's existing Cisco Meraki network infrastructure, enabling a seamless deployment without requiring any additional networking hardware.

HONG KONG, July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Solos®, a leading innovator in smartglasses and wearable AI, marks a landmark moment at the AI Smartglasses Symposium 2026: the debut of the AirGo™ A6, one of the world's slimmest AI smartglasses, the launch of a new Privacy Kit, and the global retail availability of the AirGo™ V2, the company's most advanced camera-enabled smartglasses to date. The event, Solos' third annual gathering of industry leaders, ecosystem partners, and technology innovators, is held at Hong Kong Science and Technology Park and serves as a flagship platform for advancing Solos' open B2B ecosystem around AI-powered wearables.

This year's theme, "From Platform to Applications: Powering the B2B Ecosystem for AI Smartglasses," reflects Solos' growing focus on enabling partners across health, lifestyle, enterprise, and accessibility to build on its open ecosystem.

"Every year at this symposium, the conversations get more concrete," said Kenneth Fan, co-founder of Solos. "The use cases are real, the partners are building, and the hardware is ready. With V2 available today and A6 on the horizon, we're at an inflection point for what wearable AI can do in everyday life."

Solos AirGo™ A6: A New Category of Everyday AI Smart Wearables

Designed for those who want AI always within reach without a camera in the frame, the AirGo™ A6 builds on the foundation of the AirGo™ A5 with a refined, fashion-first form for professionals, privacy-conscious users, and anyone who wants the benefits of wearable AI in eyewear they can wear comfortably from morning to night. The A6 features hands-free access to SolosChat™, automatic power-on/off, wake-word activation, and a simplified, instant-on experience. It supports full prescription lens compatibility and is powered by an open AI platform designed to evolve with SolosAI, SolosChat, the Solos SDK, and additional AI assistants, making A6 not just a product but a wearable that grows with the technology around it.

  • Fashion-First, Featherlight Design: ~19g before lenses, with eyewear-grade hinge durability targets and a transparent design language built to look and wear like premium eyewear, not a gadget.
  • AI Personal Assistant: Ask, retrieve, and get things done hands-free.
  • Full Rx Support: Complete prescription lens compatibility for everyday, all-day wear.
  • Open-Ear Audio: Stay connected to calls, music, and AI responses while remaining aware of your surroundings.
  • Everyday AI Toolkit: Voice memo capture, real-time translation, calls and messaging, calendar and reminders, and personalized audio tuning via the Solos App.

"With AirGo A6, we wanted to prove that AI glasses don't have to look or feel like AI glasses," said Fan. "At under 19 grams with full prescription support and fashion-first design, A6 is eyewear first and AI second, built in so naturally you forget it's there until you need it."

Introducing the Solos Privacy Kit

Alongside the AirGo™ V2, Solos is introducing the Privacy Kit: a set of physical accessories that give users direct, tangible control over their camera presence. The Privacy Kit combines the ClearView Temple, a transparent, non-powered replacement temple available in various colors, with the Clip-On Bundle, which includes one Clip-On Privacy Shield and one Clip-On Polarized Sun Lens (available in Dark Green, Dark Grey, and Gradient Brown).

The Clip-On Privacy Shield physically blocks the camera from both usage and outside view, while the Sun Lens adds on-demand UV protection and glare reduction.

Solos AirGo™ V2: Now Available Worldwide

Designed with an eyewear-first approach, the AirGo™ V2 brings camera-enabled AI to a lightweight, prescription-ready frame with patented SmartHinge™ modularity that gives users flexibility across style, use case, and privacy preferences. Starting at $299 and available now atsolosglasses.com, V2 is the company's most advanced visual AI smartglasses to date.

AirGo™ V2 Key Features:

  • Ultra-Slim 16MP Camera with 2K Video: An advanced first-person camera captures high-resolution photos and up to 2K video at 30fps with Anti-Shake Electronic Image Stabilization, ideal for travel, content creation, and everyday hands-free capture. YouTube live streaming support is planned as a coming-soon feature.
  • Privacy-Forward Modular Design with SmartHinge™: AirGo V2's SmartHinge™ architecture supports modular frame-front flexibility, giving users more choice across style, use case, and privacy needs.
  • Comprehensive Prescription Support: Supports most common lens configurations, including single vision, digital progressive, transition/photochromic, polarized sun, and anti-blue light lenses. Users can upload their prescription directly at checkout.
  • Hands-Free AI with SolosChat™ 4.0: Say "Hey Solos" to take photos, record video, control music, ask real-time questions, use translation, and access supported assistant features.
  • Industry-Leading Battery Life: All-Day Mode supports up to 10-12 hours of typical operation. Optional spare battery temples and charging storage can extend use for multi-day travel or events.
  • High-Fidelity Open-Ear Audio: 0920 directional speaker drivers deliver clear open-ear audio with strong bass for music, calls, AI responses, and translation playback, while keeping users aware of their surroundings. V2 also supports 7 music profiles and left/right balance adjustment.
  • Real-Time Translation with SolosTranslate™: Break language barriers with hands-free translation across supported languages for conversations, travel, meetings, lectures, and everyday communication.

Additional Accessories and Add-Ons

A dedicated Charging Case for the AirGo™ V2 platform is planned for August 2026. Designed to support AirGo V2's swappable battery-temple system, the compact case protects the glasses while recharging the battery temples on the go. With USB-C charging, LED status indication, and an internal charging base, the case extends everyday usage for AirGo V2 users. Final pricing and detailed compatibility will be announced closer to availability.
