XGIMI makes projectors. Good glasses with shows use projectors. So it is smart that XGIMI now makes good glasses. OK, technically, these good glasses are from an incubated model inside XGIMI known as MemoMind, which can probably be spun out as a brand new firm sooner or later. However the glasses use XGIMI’s experience in projectors to energy the show know-how.
MemoMind’s good glasses embrace the Memo One and Memo Air Show. The Memo One is the flagship, with dual-eye shows, audio system, and microphones. The Memo Air Show is a monocular model, which means there’s only one show on one of many lenses, and it does not have audio system. That makes it loads lighter at simply 28.9 grams. There is a third mannequin that may solely have microphones and will probably be considerably lighter, very like regular eyeglasses, however the firm did not have a lot info on it in the meanwhile. None of those glasses can have cameras, and an organization consultant cited battery life and privateness considerations as the explanation why.

Whereas the arms are thick, they nonetheless appear to be regular glasses, and the entire thing feels eerily much like the Even Realities G2, particularly the inexperienced textual content interface that seems on the projected show. I discovered the MemoMind One a little bit extra accommodating for my extensive face, although. MemoMind is making an attempt to face out with customization. There are eight body kinds and “interchangeable” temple designs, permitting you to combine up the look of the glasses. (Sure, you will get them in your prescription.)
While you look into the show, you may see a spread of widgets you could set through the companion app, from shares and to-do lists to calendar entries. You possibly can see notifications on the show alongside navigation directions. Additionally in tow are a raft of options akin to what’s out there on the Even Realities G2, from a teleprompter and real-time translation to a “Conversate” perform that may silently supply up details about subjects overheard by the AI assistant as you chat with folks. The corporate says it is utilizing a number of massive language fashions for these options, selecting the best one for the duty, together with these from OpenAI, Microsoft’s Azure, and Qwen.
