Observe – Identify – Discover
The AX Visio 10x32 adds new dimensions to natural experiences with numerous functions: intelligent technology combined with high-precision analogue optics in SWAROVISION quality assist with real-time identification of more than 9,000 birds and other wildlife. The integrated camera captures photos and videos. These can then be immediately managed and shared with a connected smartphone using the associated SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor App. The “Share discoveries” function is another exciting development that allows users to guide another person to the observed object using arrow markers in the display. “The AX Visio’s added value for users consists of a real viewing experience that is enhanced with digital input”, emphasized Andreas Gerk, Chief Technology and Operations Officer at SWAROVSKI OPTIK.
Smart and sustainable
Around five years have been invested in the development and construction of the AX Visio. The result is binoculars consisting of approximately 390 hardware parts. The intelligent core of the AX Visio is its integrated operating and object-recognition system. A Neural Processing Unit (NPU) ensures exceptionally fast processing of relevant information for object recognition. The SWAROVSKI OPTIK Outdoor App allows users to manage and share images. All device settings and future updates are also carried out in the app. The AX Visio concept ensures a product life cycle for the device over many years. “The analogue components of the device, such as the optics and housing, comply with our sustainable SWAROVSKI OPTIK quality standards. The performance of the digital features is regularly updated and enhanced through regular system and function updates. An open programming interface gives creative external providers the opportunity to expand the AX Visio with new functionalities. Our aim is to promote an innovative system that continuously develops and meets users’ needs for enhanced vision and more information as effectively as possible”, continued Andreas Gerk.
Made by SWAROVSKI OPTIK
The AX Visio is produced with a very high degree of vertical integration at SWAROVSKI OPTIK's main site in Absam, Austria. For CEO Stefan Schwarz, this is an important USP: "We can draw on 75 years of experience and expertise in the development and production of high-precision sport optics. We combine this knowhow and our expertise in the field of electronics with digital intelligence at our production site in the heart of Europe to create a new, pioneering product. The AX Visio is not only a flagship project with which we are demonstrating SWAROVSKI OPTIK's technological leadership in the sport optics market, but it also marks the beginning of a new technological era for us.
