Each week, we spotlight a cool innovation recommended by some of the industry's top tech writers. This week's pick is an audio-equipped AR platform.

Bose, known for its audio equipment, has created what it calls the world's first "audio-augmented reality platform," said Matthew Humphries at PCMag​. "In reality, Bose just combined headphones and sunglasses, but also unlocked a few smart features in the process." The glasses, which cost $199 and will be available in Jan­u­ary, let you stream music, take calls, and connect to virtual assistants, such as Siri and Google ­Assistant — all without any earbuds.
