The Kopin Golden-i Infinity is an enterprise augmented reality wearable device developed by Kopin Corporation. Unveiled in 2018, the Golden-i Infinity is described as the world's first voice-controlled wearable smart screen, weighing only 1.5 ounces (43g). Unlike standalone AR headsets, the Infinity connects to a smartphone or Windows laptop via USB-C, leveraging the host device's processing power while providing a hands-free display and voice interface. Approximately 100 organizations signed up to pilot the device by early 2019.
