Bose Frames offers a state-of-the-art immersive audio experience embedded into wearable audio sunglasses designed with a classic, retro look. Bose AR® software is the first-of-its-kind audio augmented reality platform helping the wearer stay connected to their digital world and stay engaged in the physical world at the same time.
