Projector maker XGIMI has turned up at CES to launch its personal vary of AR glasses, however don’t get the champagne out too quickly. MemoMind is a brand new model below which its AI-infused eyewear will probably be bought, with two distinct models arriving sooner or later within the close to future. The corporate says it has leveraged its know-how in optics and engineering to supply glasses that are unobtrusively mild, all the higher for mixing into your each day life. Fashionistas will even be overjoyed to be taught the glasses’ ship in eight totally different body kinds, 5 totally different temple designs and could be worn with prescription lenses.

Memo One is the corporate’s flagship choice, with dual-eye shows and built-in audio system so you’ll be able to see and listen to your AI assistant. The Memo Air, in the meantime, is a extra stripped down mannequin  weighing simply 28.9 grams which simply has a single eye show. Sadly, the corporate is utilizing microLED shows moderately than waveguides, making them a far more durable promote for lots of would-be customers. In spite of everything, placing one thing that small so near your eye however behind your prescription means it’s a painful expertise for brief sighted of us to deal with textual content. As I defined in my Halliday evaluate, this expertise isn’t any pal to the glasses wearers who would in any other case be the perfect early adopters.

Replace Jan 5, 2026: I’ve by no means been so completely satisfied to submit an replace, as I’ve now seen these in individual and discovered that they don’t use microLED shows. In reality, they do use waveguides, making them much more enticing than I had initially thought. In reality, the glasses they remind me probably the most of is Even Realities’ G1, which I reviewed and completely cherished.

In reality there are many similarities, together with the actual fact you might want to tilt your head as much as activate them. The waveguide prisms are rather a lot taller right here, supplying you with a lot extra actual property on your essential knowledge. To the purpose the place the homescreen was set to incorporate a full inventory tracker (with graphs) and nonetheless had room for the time and notification pane.

They’re additionally surprisingly mild, regardless of the actual fact the mannequin I examined was the feature-packed flagship versus the show free model.

The glasses are only a automobile for the corporate’s AI assistant, promising translation, summarization, note-taking, reminders and contextual steerage. In contrast to a few of its would-be rivals, XGIMI says its platform will change between OpenAI, Azure and (Alibaba’s) Qwen relying on what it thinks will give you the perfect consequence for every process. Naturally, we’ll have to get them in to check earlier than passing ultimate judgment on their qualities however, you’ll be able to colour us naturally hostile to these rattling microLEDs till we’re satisfied in any other case.

XGIMI says the flagship Memo One will probably be obtainable to pre-order “quickly,” most probably after MWC in March. It’ll value $599, with prescription lenses obtainable for a further, as but unspecified cost, and the opposite fashions coming additional down the road.
