XGIMI makes projectors. Sensible glasses with shows use projectors. So it is smart that XGIMI now makes smart glasses. OK, technically, these good glasses are from an incubated model inside XGIMI referred to as MemoMind, which is able to seemingly 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 embody 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, that means there’s only one show on one of many lenses, and it would not have audio system. That makes it lots lighter at simply 28.9 grams. There is a third mannequin that may solely have microphones and will likely be considerably lighter, very similar to regular eyeglasses, however the firm did not have a lot data on it in the intervening time. None of those glasses may have cameras, and an organization consultant cited battery life and privateness considerations as the explanation why.

Whereas the arms are thick, they nonetheless appear like regular glasses, and the entire thing feels eerily just like the Even Realities G2, particularly the inexperienced textual content interface that seems on the projected show. I discovered the MemoMind One somewhat extra accommodating for my extensive face, although. MemoMind is making an attempt to face out with customization. There are eight body types 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 will see a variety of widgets which you can set through the companion app, from shares and to-do lists to calendar entries. You’ll be able to see notifications on the show alongside navigation directions. Additionally in tow are a raft of options akin to what’s accessible on the Even Realities G2, from a teleprompter and real-time translation to a “Conversate” operate that may silently provide 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.
