Solos launched its $79 Privacy Kit for Air Go V2 smart glasses, replacing digital toggles with physical camera barriers and clear frame temples. The Clear View Temple is a non-powered, transparent frame arm available in four patterns (Ocean Arrow, Amber Net, Mint Check, Teal Web) that visually proves no electronics are inside. The Clip-On Bundle includes a full-cover shield to physically block the camera, plus a polarized sun lens available in Dark Green, Dark Grey, or Gradient Brown.

Solos is providing Air Go V2 owners with a more obvious way to tell when their smart glasses are not using their cameras. The company’s new Privacy Kit is now available online, combining a transparent replacement temple with clip-on accessories designed to physically block the glasses’ cameras. Typically, smart eyewear relies on tiny LED lights or software toggles to signal when you are recording, but those methods rarely ease public paranoia.

Solos, a company spun out of Kopin Corporation by engineers trained at MIT, is taking the low-tech, no-nonsense approach. Co-founder Kenneth Fan calls this “privacy by design," replacing pinky-promise policies with real barriers. Solos first announced the kit in July during the global launch of Air Go V2. The kit is now shipping via the company’s website.

The Privacy Kit is $79 for three pieces. Clear View Temple is a non-powered, transparent replacement temple that shows you that there are no electronics or camera components inside it. It comes in Ocean Arrow, Amber Net, Mint Check, and Teal Web. Then there’s the Clip-On Privacy Shield, a full-cover front accessory that physically blocks the camera from view and use. The same package also includes a polarized sun lens, providing UV protection and glare reduction when privacy isn't a concern. The lens comes in Dark Green, Dark Grey, and Gradient Brown. There’s also an unexpectedly tangible cost to switching between those modes: The $79 kit is about 26% of the Air Go V2’s $299 starting price. Solos sells the Clear View Temple separately for $39 and the Clip-On Bundle for $49.
