RayNeo announced the iO Smart Glasses with a green display, four microphones and no camera. The display shows one color, peaks at 1,300 nits and covers 23.5 degrees of your view, which is room for a line of translated speech or a teleprompter script. The Even Realities G2 manages 1,200 nits and Xgimi's MemoMind One 2,000, so the iO sits between them. A bone conduction sensor works with the microphone array to pull your voice out of a noisy room, and that is what the transcription and the translation across 55 languages run on. There are no speakers, so the glasses show you words and never say them. A physical crown on the frame clicks and rotates to move through the interface, where Even Realities uses a smart ring and the MemoMind One uses head gestures. It weighs 33 grams.
RayNeo already sells glasses with a camera. The X3 Pro has one in the bridge, so leaving it off the iO was a choice, and it makes the iO the third display pair after the G2 and the MemoMind One to skip the lens. ICE told its agents this week they cannot wear Meta's camera glasses on the job, while asking for $7.5 million to buy biometric glasses of its own. RayNeo says the iO's Ambient AI Productivity Suite listens to your conversations, pulls out action items and suggests calendar updates, and an indicator light comes on while it records. The iO is $479, or $529 with the charging case. It arrives with the GT and GT Max viewing glasses, and all three reach stores on September 4.
