RayNeo’s smart-glasses lineup splits into two categories: AI+AR “information overlay” eyewear and high-FOV “portable cinema” display glasses. This interview starts with X3 Pro, described as the latest AI+AR model launched in December 2025, using dual-eye full-color MicroLED waveguides so the image is visible mainly inside the wearer’s viewing cone. It’s built on Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 to keep latency and power low for a heads-up layer. https://www.rayneo.com/products/x3-pro-ai-display-glasses
In the demo, a wake phrase (“OK RayNeo”) triggers Google Gemini, turning the glasses into a voice-first assistant for quick lookups like weather and general knowledge. Control is shared with a right-side touchpad/trackpad: swipe to navigate, then tap or double-tap to enter features. When idle, the UI drops into sleep mode to preserve battery and manage heat on a face-worn form factor.
On the display side, the presenter mentions 640×480 content rendering and very high in-eye brightness claims (up to about 6,000 nits peak) to keep overlays readable outdoors. RayNeo also talks about opening up the platform through AR SDKs and Unity workflows, suggesting this is meant for third-party apps, not just built-in assistant prompts. The feature set shown leans practical: live translation (the booth claim is up to 14 languages) and around 5 hours of typical daily use depending on use.
The camera then moves to RayNeo Air 4 Pro, positioned less as AR and more as a head-mounted external monitor for gaming, phone mirroring, and laptop work over USB-C (DisplayPort Alt Mode). Around CES Las Vegas 2026, RayNeo and early coverage pointed to HDR10 FHD Micro-OLED panels, refresh rates reported up to 120 Hz, high-frequency PWM dimming, and a video-processing pipeline that can map SDR into HDR and simulate 3D from 2D sources. Audio is central here too: four built-in speakers tuned with Bang & Olufsen for immersive sound.
Pricing underlines the split: X3 Pro is discussed around $1,099 as a flagship AI+AR device, while Air 4 Pro is pitched closer to $299, with availability described as early 2026 (the booth mentions late February in some regions, while reports cite late January sales in others). Taken together, the video captures the current convergence in smart eyewear: MicroLED waveguides + on-device AI for lightweight overlays, and Micro-OLED HDR display glasses for high-bandwidth media over a single cable.
