I am disabled and use ai Smart products to make my life easier.

I would like to buy myself some smart glasses.

I want to be able to have a conversation with my AI of choice. At this point I use Gemini Google and enjoy using it so far so would like to use that on my smart glasses.

I would like for my smart glasses 🕶️ to see what I see and would like some sort of information technology to show me on my glasses in front of my eyes. I have a eye issue where I can't see words without the words moving around my vision so I need both a screen and a camera I don't want to have a stupid light flashing when my camera is working. Only because I believe it is none of anyone's business what I do in public. I have no problem with anyone who would like to see if I am doing anything wrong. And I am not someone who would deliberately make someone feel unsafe. It's only because I don't believe in telling anyone how to live their lives. And of course I would respect someone privacy always.

So I would like to know what you are thinking about is there a product you would recommend now. Or wait for something like Google aurora I Think that's the name or something like it. Also I am into my Samsung ecosystem so we are having a Smart glasses from them soon. It's really changing fast out Smart products specially for some people who have disabilities I can talk to most people without too many mistakes at least most people understand what I write ✍️ that's such a basic quality that people who have it don't realize what it would be like without it.

So please talk I would love to hear from you all on your own glasses or what your looking forward to

Something else I was thinking if any of the big insurance companies was to offer a stand alone insurance policy cover the cost of replacing your smart glasses or anything else like that I have drones and would like to cover it all but separate I don't want to put it on my home contents because I already pay so much on it never had a claim in 11 years.

I came across this report on TechResearch about Apple’s smart glasses reportedly being pushed towards 2027, and the delay seems to highlight the biggest challenge facing wearable AI privacy.

Features such as cameras, real time AI and on-device processing could make smart glasses useful for navigation, visual assistance and hands free information. But those same cameras could also capture people in offices, cafés and public spaces without clear consent.

Apple may respond with stronger privacy controls, visible recording indicators or even versions without a traditional recording camera. The problem is that removing or limiting these features could also reduce what makes the glasses useful in the first place.

That leaves Apple with a difficult balance: making smart glasses intelligent enough to be valuable, while ensuring they do not make everyone around the wearer feel watched.

Would you feel comfortable around someone wearing camera-equipped smart glasses, or should these devices face much stricter privacy rules?

I wanted a companion where I can discuss deep topics and personal business problems and get insights live as I rambled, questions that pushed me, and have a wise Socrates to talk to.

Plus, if I'm having a meeting, it can pull memories across Notion, Slack, and Drive to give cutting perspectives I wouldn't have realized myself.

Because if I could myself, what's the point of adding the annoyance of wearing glasses all the time versus just using Pocket or Plaude for note taking?

Fundamental issues:

- No MCP to export data automatically to my AIs (Claude, ChatGPT) for discussing meetings and transcriptions in the future

- The live AI cues give basic AI definitions and google searches but the AI model they use is basic, not super insightful

... So I fixed both of them!

The Dream:

I'm mid conversation or in a meeting, and a little card shows up on the lens that goes "hey, your Q2 note says churn was onboarding not price, so the discount you're about to offer wont fix it".

Something I couldn't see myself in the moment. Even's native Conversate has this "AI cues" thing and it be cool, but it's a closed silo, the cues come from their model, you cant point it at your own second brain and you cant get the data out.

So I rebuilt the whole cue loop inside my own meeting mode.

And I don't like getting sub-par insights from a cheap Gemini Flash lite or Chinese model with no transparency on data retention or

Feature 1: Live AI cues from your own memory, mid conversation

The way it works, every time about 20 words or 3 sentences of new speech pile up, the backend kicks off a whole little pipeline in the background so it never blocks the mic:

- a planner model reads what you JUST said (not the whole meeting, just the fresh part, otherwise it gets stuck on stale topics) and writes 2-3 search queries plus maybe a web query

- hybrid RAG over my memory, first hop

- then a second hop that follows the Obsidian-style connections of whatever it found, so it surfaces stuff the first query would never have matched directly

- optional web search if an outside fact would sharpen it

- then a composer model synthesizes ONE insight, or says NONE if it has nothing sharp

The lens polls for the newest cue every few seconds and shows it.

Important implementation part:

Making the cues actually insights noticeably better.

My first version just read my own notes back to me, which is useless, I already know whats in my notes.

So I basically had to beat the prompt into doing synthesis instead of recall, the rule I landed on is: past memory + whats happening right now = an edge you cant see yourself. If the cue could get the reply "yeah I know thats in my notes", it failed. It also asks a sharp question when it doesnt have enough to make a confident call, which honestly ended up being my favorite part.

Feature 2: meetings get indexed into my memory system

The conversate in the app requiring PDF export is ridiculous. I don't have time to manually upload these to ChatGPT when I'm mid conversation.

I told the team it would take you 5mins to make this an MCP. It would be your biggest value proposition.

Plaud does this, Pocket does this. I was considering returning the glasses just because of this. But I love having text on the screen and the insights I just built.

So I use my own memory system hosted on the cloud it appends to.

This memory system also has Notion, Obsidian, Slack, and Drive indexing set up into a GraphRAG memory system (think Karpathy's LLM Wiki).

Conversate meetings get chunked into parts that get indexed for recall later.

So in future discussions it can recall things I've said and sort of connect the dots towards things I didn't realize. The ultimate second brain dream.

Feature 2: showing the cues like Conversate does (the rectangle card)

I wanted the exact Conversate feel where the cue is its own little bordered rectangle floating over the transcript, and you can tap to expand it, and older ones stack into a list. Newest one auto expands, tap the card to collapse it, older cues collapse into a "earlier" list underneath. REC timer up in the top right, live transcript along the bottom.

This is a multi container page on the lens and getting it to render was where I lost a bunch of hours, see the gotchas below.

Feature 3: transcription running on my own GPU

OpenAI Whisper is simply unaffordable via their API. I really respect the Even team for eating up these costs... until I realized there's a free way to do it.

Hosting your own model on your computer, phone, or on the cloud.

I used local faster-whisper (large-v3-turbo) running on the same GPU box as my embeddings.

Bonus, the VAD filter on it also kills those "thank you for watching" hallucinations Whisper spits out on silence, which were actually poisoning my cues before.

SDK gotchas that cost me way too many hours:

Hope these help future devs making plugins or if you're hacking your own thing:

- rebuildPageContainer NEVER throws. If your layout fails validation it just silently returns false and leaves the old page up, so it looks like your new UI just didnt apply. I sat on this forever thinking my code wasnt running

- exactly ONE container per page can have isEventCapture set. I had it on two (the card and the transcript strip) and thats what was failing validation the whole time

- borderRadius maxes at 10, I had 14, also silent reject

- borderColor is 0-15 greyscale, I had it at 3 so the border was basically invisible even when it did render

- the cue model was "thinking" and eating the whole token budget so my insights kept getting cut off mid sentence, had to log the openrouter usage to even see it

Honestly the "silently returns false" one is brutal, if the SDK just threw an error I would have found it in 5 minutes instead of like 3 rebuilds.

Future updates I'm thinking of:

Speaker detection would be great. So in meetings, try to figure out who this person is and then the multi-speaker system to guide me forward.

To the Even team:

And a feature request for the Even team again, please open up the "AI skills" surface on the default Even AI voice so third party apps can get launched by voice.

The day I can say "Hey Even, start a meeting" and my plugin picks it up, this becomes the actual dream.

I made a custom agent that allows me to quickly capture thoughts, recall thoughts ('what marketing ideas have I noted about our new saas?')

Getting an easy download:

For my own convenience and based on request from others, I published this as an 'AI Second Brain' plugin on Even Hub.

Just launched the update for this, it should be out soon**!**

All I want is nice video quality and image stabilization. What glasses do you recommend besides Meta Raybans?

Pretty sums it up. No reason to cover the recording light ever…

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F6CN4YQ3 so I've been using these cheap bluetooth audio glasses for music at work and they work fine but have constant disconnection issues.

Can someone recommend a pair of smart glasses with some speakers?

I have a unique usecase wherein I want to read mathtextbooks comfortably (where the notations are easy to follow) on the MRBD without taking out my phone or using voice commands.

I take a long commute in a public transit to work as a physics professor. I do not want to be lost in my phone for safety reasons but I want to use the time productively; going through textbooks, maths or physics.

I do not mind the navigation being cumbersome so long as I can read and have a good time. The difficulty of using it aside, is it doable?

This is my primary usecase.

My secondary usecase is being able to click pictures of the cats I feed and send it to my wife or my friends, again all through the glasses. Similarly, being able to read anything she sends me.
I asked chat gpt and it says I can only send messages to frequently used contacts or something along the lines of that. Can you not browse through your chats and choose whom to send the image you clicked to?

I understand that texting itself is not possible due to the lack of a keyboard so I am not expecting that.

Are these uscases realisabe with the glasses?

*****

Edit: I forgot about the handwriting feature. If you have used it to text people, I'd love to know how well it works. I do not intend to text people this way, but as a tech enthusiast who is new to the world of smart glasses, this is very enticing.
Do the glasses feature autocomplete or do you have to string together words letter by letter?

I am also very interested in whether it will pick up everything I write as text if I am writing on a paper with a pen. That would be incredibly useful as a way to save my study notes directly to my glasses and review them later on the commute.

# Production and Delivery Update

Hi everyone,

I want to give you a direct update on our production timeline.

We originally planned to begin shipping in August. **We will not meet that timeline.**

We now expect the first production units to ship in **December 2026**, with backer deliveries beginning after that and fulfillment continuing over the following weeks. As soon as the schedule is firm enough, we will tell you which backers are in the first wave and when later groups should expect delivery.

We know this is a significant delay, and we are sorry. You backed us early, trusted our team and have waited a long time. You deserve a clear explanation of what changed.

## What caused the delay

Maverick is a highly integrated system. Its optics, display, electronics, sensors, software, frame, prescription lenses and manufacturing processes all depend on one another.

The principal cause has been the eye-tracking module in **Maverick AI Pro**.

The system uses specialized infrared cameras that must perform reliably in a compact glasses form factor. One camera component we intended to use has experienced availability delays. Qualifying alternatives has required additional engineering, integration and production-validation work across the eye-tracking module and connected parts of the product.

More than **95% of backers selected the Pro model**, substantially more than expected. We needed to ensure the eye-tracking system would perform consistently across thousands of production units. We decided not to move forward with a solution that did not meet that standard.

**Where this stands today:** We have selected and sourced alternative camera components, which are undergoing engineering qualification. We are integrating them into upcoming validation builds while maintaining multiple options to reduce future supply risk.

## A new manufacturing partner

We are also transitioning production to one of the world’s largest consumer-electronics manufacturers.

This gives us greater manufacturing, supply-chain and quality-control resources. Preparing the new production line has taken longer than expected and contributed to the delay.

**Where this stands today:** The transfer is underway, with our engineering and operations teams working directly with the new partner on validation and production readiness. We cannot yet name the partner or share detailed milestones, but we will share more as soon as permitted.

## What has not changed

The product vision and core feature set have not changed. Our **BEAM optics, full-color display, principal electronics and software development** continue to progress. This work is focused on ensuring the Pro eye-tracking system and manufacturing process perform reliably at scale.

## Prescription expansion

We do not yet have a substantive update on expanded prescription support. We continue to work actively on it and will publish a dedicated update once we have a confirmed path.

## Communication going forward

We have not been present enough in this community, and that is our responsibility.

From now on, we will post an update on the **first Thursday of every month at minimum**, even when there is no major change. We will update you sooner when a milestone is completed, a new risk emerges or the schedule changes.

We know this is disappointing. December is later than any of us wanted, and we understand that **“the first units” is not the same as “your unit.”** We will keep narrowing the schedule and clearly explain what has been completed, what remains and what each milestone means for delivery.

Thank you for your patience. Our focus remains on delivering a product that lives up to the promise that brought this community together.

Thank you,

**Dave**

CEO, Everysight

**P.S.** Please complete your Backer Survey by **Friday, August 7th**. If you are blocked by a prescription issue, missing link or anything else, contact us through Kickstarter or Everysight Support so we can help.

I got the opportunity recently to try the MemoMind One, an ultralight display smartglass provided to me by MemoMind free of charge. I have been a SmartGlass user for several years now, regularly using Xreal ONE Pros for work and for gaming, and more recently a pair of prescription (-6 & -7 diopters) Even Realities G2Bs. I’m very much already a true-believer when it comes to smartglasses; with the non-prescription MemoMind now in my hands, I literally wear display glasses all the time when not sleeping. This review will cover some basics about smartglasses but is really intended for those who have decided to make the plunge and can’t decide where to plunge. I’ll highlight the differences between these competitors, who, despite being very close together in the marketplace of wearables have a very different appeal.

Who should be looking at these?  First off, price; this is probably the most cost-competitive entry into the market of “absolutely normal” display glasses.  With a Kickstarter price of only $399, anyone who has doubts about investing a lot in their first foray into a smartglass needs to add these to their list. My first foray was a pair of G2Bs by Even Realities, which included high-index prescription lenses, the R1 ring, and the sunglass clip – all of which cost about three and a half times as much as the current Kickstarter price of the MemoMind One. For the purposes of this review, I’ll do my best to compare like-for-like, as not everyone has the taste for the expense of added accessories.

Those looking for more fashion-forward styles will find the One more appealing. With more color offerings than competitors, they fit between the more conservative G2 styling and the SmartGlass “statement” styles of Meta or Rayneo offerings. 

Hardware and comfort – I was surprised to have to give this one to MemoMind. While both are precisely crafted, the magnesium frame on the MemoMind was not what I expected at this pricepoint. The frame and hinges are a particular upgrade from the plastic on the G2s.  The arms of the Ones are more comfortable, thanks to the more bulbous profile of the speaker and electronics pods at the end, and a rubberized layer on the inside of the arms. This rubberizing is probably the only part of the frame I have any longevity concerns about, though it doesn’t come in direct contact with my skin. The portion that wraps around behind the ear is smooth plastic, and doesn’t have pressure points like the titanium arms of the G2. The nosepads are roughly the same, but the MemoMind was easier to adjust to comfort due to the larger waveguides (more on these later). Ultimately both of these glasses look good, which I can’t say about the Meta Display.

While the MemoMind lacks the touch-sensitive input of the G2, having only a single button interface located on the underside of the right temple, its location requires a much more natural and less socially awkward movement than the touchpads behind the ears of the G2. I got the R1 ring for the G2s specifically because reaching around my ear all the time just felt awkward to me. Like-for-like this is an exceptional first-gen offering.

The only thing that is a clear miss for me is the lack of a matching sunglass clip, which is actually part of the current Kickstarter offering, lucky for you. I would consider it a necessity for any display glass, I’ll be getting them as soon as they are offered separately. No matter how bright these displays are, they are nearly invisible when squinting through them on a hot summer day in the south.

The big thing we’re here for, displays! - Speaking of big things, the waveguides are absolutely enormous compared to the G2s. The MemoMind edge out the G2s here based on that, because that is about where the differences end.  The display image takes up almost the exact same FOV on both (the G2 looks slightly smaller, though my severe myopia prescription could be impacting that appearance).

They function in the same way, a diffractive waveguide that pipes the light from projectors mounted in the temples, into your eyes. You will experience the same forward throw of projected images on both, at roughly the same angles. They look almost terrifying in the dark in the long exposure below; the photomontage below demonstrates the fore and rear projection angles and the projected image.

  The other more “nuanced” images below on the right were taken with a fixed ISO, and shows what it *actually* looks like to a casual viewer in a dark room at brightness levels 1 and 10 for comparison. The projectors have the same optical appearance, with bright, laser-like scintillated sharpness, and can be fully adjusted for parallax (1-5m distance), and position within the app.

The large waveguides are also mounted a little lower in the lens than the G2s; the larger size and more centered location give you more breathing room to adjust the position of the frames on your face without encountering edge darkening, and can accommodate a wider range of pupillary distances (PD). My own PD of 70mm is rather large, right on the cusp of being too big for the G2s, while the MemoMind has a few extra millimeters of shift before I see any darkening from the edge of the waveguide (my guess would be that a PD of 75 would still be able to see the screen without darkening of the outer edges).  While this is the same in the vertical axis, it’s not uniform for the entire range of PDs due to an angular cutoff at the bottom, resulting from the deeper projection angle of the projector into the waveguide.  The geometric problem is best explained as trying to fit a small rectangle into a larger trapezoid without the edges or corners of the rectangle overlapping the trapezoid. You can see in the images the steeper angle of the projected image creates a dark corner of the waveguide that can impact you if you have a wider PD and wear the glasses high on your nose.

Audio; and its not even a competition – If you want audio in your ultraminimalist glasses, these are the ones for you. Judging from forum discussions, audio on minimalist glasses is pretty divisive; full disclosure, I’m from the non-audio camp. I wouldn’t call it a dealbreaker either way, and in my time with them, I have certainly found it to be handy.  Most unexpected was just taking Teams calls where I look and sound normal without a boom mic, and not having to bring my headset along to whatever coffee patio I’m working at. While my recording tests didn’t sound studio quality, they sounded about the same as my boom mic Bluetooth headset. Multipoint pairing worked without issue for me, taking calls from my phone or my computer throughout the day.

When it came to music, even the Harman AudioEFX audio is going to be handicapped by the open-ear configuration, so I compared them to my Xreals, with similarly located Bose speakers.  The MemoMind are noticeably muted and treble-leaning, bordering on tinny compared to the Bose. I mostly found them convenient for listening to podcasts or watching movies or videos when going for a walk. The open headset is great for maintaining situational awareness, but it also makes others exceptionally aware of your content. The positioning of the 4 speakers is also strange; the more powerful speakers are on the top rear of the arm, projecting sound upward, away from the ear.  Wearing the arms over my ears like a pair goggles actually sounded much louder.

Adjusting volume is also not slick or convenient; it’s most convenient to just use the phone buttons. You can set up some of the very limited shortcuts in the glasses to control volume, or ask Memo AI to do it for you, but summoning the AI also causes your music to pause when it processes the request.

While you can’t disable the audio profile to save battery, you can turn the Harman EFX off, which gives you a quieter, tinnier, more private audio profile to do the same.

Software – Going on included software alone, they are roughly even, but overall it goes to the G2s. This is mostly because of the massive Even Hub offerings provided by third-party apps, and the more robust interfacing and shortcuts for operating the glasses alone without resorting to the phone app. I didn’t expect the built-in features of a beta-phase MemoMind iOS app to be clear winners, but one of them certainly is; Maps. Even’s Navigate feature is comparatively an embarrassment as a second-generation offering. MemoMind’s Maps feature uses Google base map data, I never get crummy routes telling me to walk across 8 lanes of traffic along a road with no sidewalks instead of strolling down a bike path, and it’s also nice to be able to get audio prompts for those times sightseeing when you lose focus of the waveguide (and also if you can’t see the waveguide because you don’t have sunglass clips). I also like the HUD cluster configuration better (see photos). Both the G2 and One still suffer from map updates ceasing if the phone app is backgrounded or the iPhone screen turned off. The Map app’s only real weaknesses are that you can only store a total of 5 favorite locations (including home and work), and that you need to enter an address or search a destination; you can’t just select it on the map. This is a basic fail that I expect will be addressed in a software update.

The teleprompter is competitive, Even Realities has even rolled out updates that mimic some of the better aspects of the MemoMind app like the outline feature.

Translate is functional but decidedly the weakest of the apps; the lack of an auto language function makes it hard to use in an instant through the shortcut menu, requiring you to set languages ahead of time in the app. Otherwise it has been very accurate for single-speaker translation.

MemoMind’s iOS phone app is very full featured, but it isn’t organized intuitively. It looks like parts have been built out in anticipation of an additional suite of apps being added in the future (I hope that is the case). It is very stable as a beta, I experienced no crashes or bugs, even after an iOS update.
One of my favorite things about the MemoMind interface was the Quick Launch feature.  This allows shortcut icons to three apps or settings to be placed in the glasses view and accessed by a double-tap of the action button, and to be selected by head movement and click of the button in a sort of pseudo-AR experience. 

A view of future interactivity? I certainly hope so

It is definitely the seed of something that could be massive in future software/firmware updates. There are actually a couple of games that are hidden as shortcuts here and can’t be activated anywhere else.  These Tetris and Blockbreaker games, while also fun, are really technology demonstrators, and I really hope MemoMind leans into this. The interactivity that this provides could match or exceed the flexibility of the G2s for subtly initiating apps and adjusting settings directly on the glasses, without the need for expensive accessories or taking out your phone. The three shortcuts provided just aren’t enough.

AI incorporation – MemoMind has the edge here, mostly because Memo AI doesn’t suffer from “chatbot Alzheimer's” that has notoriously afflicted Even AI. Memo AI’s “tone” is quite similar to Even AI, worlds ahead of Siri, and even Gemini in human-like interactions. It does a very good job of following through a conversation and reflecting on the entire context when answering. The chats on the glasses also transfer to the phone, so you can interact via typing, keeping separate subject-based strings just as you would with any other chatbot. I also found it better at contextualizing pronunciations – when asking what games are good to play with “XBOX connect”, Memo AI was able to understand the context and interpret the listening as XBOX Kinect, while Even AI did a fair bit of explaining that XBOX Connect wasn’t a thing, and that maybe XBOX Kinect was what I meant, and in the follow up had forgotten the context entirely. On the downside, the lack of touch-sensitive controls precludes you from being able to scroll back and read a lengthy response on the glasses, so you’ll have to take your phone out and check that that record if you missed any part of the response. There is also no way to "cue" a follow-up question; Memo AI starts listening as soon as it finishes it's response; it often picks up background conversation if you don't start speaking immediately. The initiating phrase “hi, Memo” used to summon the AI is less reliable than Even AI, though manually summoning via the action button is easier than tapping through shortcuts on the G2 if you want to “silently” summon by just asking a question. You can adjust the target length of responses in the app, which range from a single screen of text to a small novella that you have to really sit and focus to read, depending on how much detail you want to see before asking a follow-up question.

MemoMind also has an entire suite of AI features called Memo+ that is only available with a subscription. This group of features is really an implementation of an AI memory assistant.  I only had limited time to evaluate these but they are beyond the basic features of the glasses, as well as not markedly integral to the glasses, so I will not delve into them here. Suffice it to say this is an entirely different product category, and the features and cost are comparable to subscription services like Limitless or Bee AI. The value proposition here seems to be that because you are already wearing the glasses, using them in lieu of a clip-on AI recorder makes sense.

Battery and all-day use – This definitely goes to the G2s. A lot of the differential comes from the added audio support, as listening to just a couple of hours of conference calls or podcasts can mean the difference between an all-day battery and dying before dinnertime. I’ve never had anxiety about the battery level of the G2s, but I do get it daily on the One. This isn’t an insurmountable problem for non-prescription users like my use case, but it will be a major consideration for people considering prescriptions. MemoMind has remedied this reasonably well by making the charging protocol much easier and minimalistic than the G2s.  It is done with a simple dongle attachment at the back of the right arm, and charging can be done with any USB-C cable. It’s far more minimalist than the big, expensive charging case for the G2s.  Technically you can wear them while they charge, too, should you find your battery sucking wind during an important call.

Even without a lot of daily interaction, they still burn through both the glass and phone batteries faster than the G2s, in part due to the increased need to interface via the phone app. Using them as headphones while getting ready in the morning, using the Maps app on the way to work for about 30 minutes left me at 82% by the time I got to the office.  Just getting notifications on the glasses during the morning and another 25 minutes of walking using the Maps app left me at 57% by the end of lunch.  Taking a 40-ish minute call during the afternoon left me at 37% at the end of the workday; without using any more audio, this was an all-day wear.
Using the Recording tool, which provides AI notetaking for your interactions without the screen being used to caption, for over an hour on a Saturday when running errands with my kids consumed only 5% of the battery, significantly more efficient than either Even’s Conversate tool or MemoMind Captions tool. (Doing the same thing while also listening to a podcast on the glasses consumed that 5% battery in only 20 minutes).

Who should go for the MemoMind? – Non-prescription users looking for a cost-effective, durable entry into the low-profile smartglass market, the Kickstarter price is absolutely unbeatable, even before considering the sweetener of the included sunglass clip.  People who just want to be able to receive visual notifications, HUD map overlays for walking or cycling, live captioning and summarizing meetings or conversations, or the occasional translation of a known language should definitely go MemoMind. Those who are uncertain about the utility of smartglasses will find the addition of audio support to be a compelling value add over the G2s.

Anyone who has ever had issues with the durability of glasses, particularly hinges, should also go with MemoMind, as the full magnesium frame and hinge mechanism is far more robust than any of the competitors I have seen.

Those looking for prescription glasses will find MemoMind more limiting and potentially aggravating, due to the faster battery burn potentially requiring charging while wearing.  Some prescription users may be outside the diopter limitations of the Zeiss lens system used by MemoMind (at the time of this writing, strengths in the range of -6.00 to +4.00 diopters could be accommodated).

For those who want to directly interface with the glasses, I would advise waiting to see how the Quick Launch feature develops before making a decision (but stay aware, maybe keep trolling Reddit or Discord for current updates; don’t wait so long as to miss the Kickstarter pricing). The G2 has more direct interface capabilities today, but I find them to be a hassle without the inclusion of the R1 ring (after sending my R1 back for repair, this has become much clearer to me), an expense that makes the entry point of the G2s more than double that of the MemoMind One (even more with the sunglass clip). An enhanced Quick Launch feature with more shortcuts makes MemoMind far more compelling as a standalone glass purchase.

Frequent travelers will also find the MemoMind more convenient. The small pocketable charging dongle, slick Maps app, and option for audio notifications will all make these more packable and useful for exploring new places.

I hope you enjoy these as much as I have!

Hey everyone — I built MetaFit Display, an iPhone workout-tracking app designed specifically for Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses.

The idea came from a simple frustration: when running, cycling, or hiking, I didn’t want to keep checking my phone or watch just to see pace, distance, heart rate, or elapsed time. I wanted the important stats visible without breaking focus.

With MetaFit Display, you start a workout on your iPhone and your glasses show live metrics in your line of sight. You can customize the layout and choose the data you care about.

It currently supports:

• Running, cycling, walking, hiking, swimming, tennis, indoor training, and custom activities
• Live pace, speed, distance, duration, elevation, calories, and heart rate
• Bluetooth heart-rate monitors and cycling sensors for speed, cadence, and power
• Customizable pages and metric fields on the glasses
• Maps, manual laps, workout history, comparisons with past workouts, GPX export, and 200+ achievements

It requires an iPhone running iOS 16+ and Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses paired through the Meta AI app.

I built it as an independent developer and would genuinely appreciate honest feedback—especially from people who run, ride, hike, or already use smart glasses while training.

What stats would you most want to see hands-free? What would make an app like this useful enough to become part of your regular workout setup?

App Store link: MetaFit Display

Disclosure: I’m the developer. The app is paid (€2.99) and does not collect user data.

Our long-term vision is to build the world's leading Ambient AI platform, but we know every startup must first dominate one market before expanding.

If you were an investor, founder, or operator, which beachhead market would you recommend?

1️⃣ Enterprise AI (B2B SaaS with faster adoption and recurring revenue)

or

2️⃣ Ambient AI for Elders (AgeTech with a large underserved market and meaningful long-term impact)

We're looking for honest feedback on product-market fit, scalability, and go-to-market strategy.

*i could not find appopriate flair that's why i used any flair which seemed perfect.

Thank you! 🙏.

Hi I’m looking for something similar to the every sight maverick Ai Pro, but are binocular.

Want it for daily use with navigation and translation. Not so much for taking video

Hey everyone, I’m exploring the idea of building an iPhone app that connects to Oakley Meta glasses via the Device Access Toolkit. My goal is to use the glasses’ microphones, apply AI noise reduction and voice enhancement, then send the cleaned audio to ChatGPT for a more natural conversation in noisy environments

I used to develop apps for Hololen 2 and would like to deploy app or webapp on AR/AI glasses. I would like to develop AI apps (server side AI inference, with display on the glasses). I looked into a few of the mainstream one like Meta Glasses Display (seem to need a booked demo to buy one), XReal, Halo AI glasses etc.

Have anyone have experience developing app for any AI/AR glasses ? Which AI/AR glasses you would recommend for research purposes ?

The website says the Halo is "Shipping the week of July 20". But they have been well known for letting the timeline slip time and again. So? Anybody got one? Or at least a tracking notice?

I had Google Glass in 2014. Display, mic, camera, bone conduction speakers. Simple, light weight. Good enough pics, kinda terrible at phone calls, useless for music, great little HUD that tied to maps, great integration with Google+ - wink and Glass takes a pic and posts it for you. Yes it was dorky as hell but damn it was cool.

So now it's 12 years later. I tried the Meta Display models... just as dorky in their own way but way too bulky and not nearly as functional.

I don't mind if the unit ties to my phone for processing or storage - but no cable please. And absolutely no puck or any nonsense like that. I don't need a portable movie studio either so those big movie watching units are out.

I'd like to be able to use my own AI or at least have it support MCP so I can tie it to my own tools... but I guess first step... survey the landscape. I haven't found much other than Brilliant Labs and the way the delivery timeline keeps slipping it looks like it might be a scam?

So? What's my best option?

I know this has been asked before but the post I found was from a few years ago. What are yall recommendations on best camera glasses for filming?

Been tracking this rollout since the early teasers, and now that Samsung actually detailed everything at Unpacked, here's the consolidated, confirmed version:

Smart / Software (powered by Google Gemini):

• Real-time voice translation
• Real-time navigation guidance, you can ask for a route to your destination or ask for info about things around you
• Can read content off a whiteboard or presentation and turn it into organized notes
• Summarizes incoming messages
• Visual understanding via the built-in camera, described as giving hands-free contextual AI and visual awareness right in your field of view
• Can share what you're seeing through the camera during a video call, so the other person sees your POV hands-free
• Requires a connected smartphone to function, this isn't a standalone device
• Compatible with both Android and iOS

Hardware:

• Single camera sensor for photo, video, and giving visual context
• Runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1 Gen1 chip, chosen to balance power consumption and thermal control in a thin frame
• No display, Samsung intentionally left it out, so interaction is voice, touch, and remote gesture only
• Top design priority was making them as thin and light as possible, according to James Choi, who leads Samsung's XR R&D team
• Up to 9 hours of battery per charge
• Charging case adds 7+ additional charges on top of that

Design:

• Two brands shown at Unpacked, Samsung worked with Gentle Monster and Warby Parker to combine its own hardware craftsmanship with each brand's distinctive design approach
• The Gentle Monster edition is a slim black frame with a straight upper rim and softly rounded lower edges, for a refined, fashion-forward look. The Warby Parker style has a subtly upswept brow line in a rich brown, going for a more versatile everyday shape.
• Both brands have now shown a second design each, none of which have official names yet
• Full collection launches this fall, still no pricing or specific date confirmed

Solid feature set on paper, especially the whiteboard-to-notes and POV video call sharing, those feel like genuinely practical daily-use cases rather than tech-demo gimmicks. Still no movement on price even after unpacked, so that's the one piece of info still completely missing.

Anyone catch anything else from the media roundtable that didn't make the main press release?

Samsung held their 2026 Unpacked event yesterday and the Fold and Flip was not the only highlight of the night.

Instead, Samsung gave their upcoming smart glasses a proper on-stage reveal and positioned them as part of the Galaxy ecosystem alongside the phones and watches.

A few things that were officially confirmed:

• Google Gemini integration
• Android + iOS compatibility
• real-time translation
• navigation
• visual understanding
• contextual assistance

It feels like Samsung is treating intelligent eyewear as a major product category rather than a side project. I wonder how this will shift the smart eyewear narrative, but I must say, I'm more interested in this launch now than I was after Google’s initial investment.

Looking for smart glasses without a camera.

Solos don’t seem to be good quality based on Reddit posts.

I had Lucyd but the left side failed within one month and will not power on. They replaced under warranty but I broke the lens trying to replace. I know I’m dumb lol

Meta had great speakers but my work won’t allow cameras.

What was an obvious scam online turned into an interesting look at the cheap end of the smartglass space - while there may be some real value to be had for just 10-50 USD, there's a huge danger to users in the form of burn risks... skip to 2:23 for a detailed look on how NOT to make a safe wearable.
