RayNeo iO Smart Glasses – Is 23.5° FoV Enough?

Given the last few posts on the Even Realities G2 and MemoMind One glasses, I spend (maybe too much of) the start of this video diving into how we’ve converged on a general industrial design (ID) and functionality in these smart glasses – so much so that we’re now getting design infringement lawsuits being filed…

MemoMind One – Audio + HUD Is The Sweet Spot

I’ve been a pretty vocal supporter of the Even Realities G2, so as competing brands launch what is essentially the same product with small points of differentiation, I am very excited to see what they improve on… Fast forward to July, and XGIMI (the parent company of MemoMind) reached out about taking a look at…

Meizu MYVU Air – Technical Analysis

After an impulse $120 AliExpress purchase that I wasn’t quite sure would actually come, I finally got around to spending more time with the Meizu MYVU Air. The device sits in the now-overly-familiar category of lightweight monochrome-green HUD glasses: microLED panel, diffractive waveguide, teleprompter-style UI, open-ear audio, and a housing that is trying very hard…

Saphlux S1 RDK – Technical Analysis

I’ve had the Saphlux S1 RDK sitting on my desk for a little while now, and it was finally time to tear it apart and take a closer look at what is inside. Unlike most of the AI-focused smart glasses we have reviewed recently, this is a reference design kit rather than a finished consumer…

RayNeo Air 4 Pro – Optical Analysis

I wasn’t planning to really tear apart a new pair of display glasses, and especially not the RayNeo ones since I already took a look at the RayNeo Air 3S last year. That said, RayNeo’s community folks had another plan (thanks Stella!) and sent me a free unit to b̶u̶t̶c̶h̶e̶r̶ review however I want… great!…

Holoswim 2S – Optical Analysis

Holosport (formerly just Holoswim, but it seems like they want to expand the product portfolio a bit…) has a few swim goggles with built-in displays and I decided to pick one up and tear it apart to see the display technology inside! See the (slightly…) shorter-than-normal video covering the teardown below: What I found really…

ENGO 2 – Optical Analysis

ENGO Eyewear has been on my list for a while now and one Gen1 eBay order later, as well as a Gen2 provision by my friend Chen at Saphlux, meant that it was time to tear-down these glasses and see the internal monochrome yellow microOLED panels at work. The display panel is a new component…

Even Realities G2 – Optical Analysis

The Even Realities G2s were the saddest teardown I’ve done so far… mostly because I really enjoyed wearing them, and I was too clumsy to have actually been able to take them apart while they still function. I would love to blame the insane amount of glue dispensed in this device for the waveguide cracks…

Rokid Glasses – Technical Analysis

The Rokid Glasses kickstarter campaign was by all accounts a great commercial success, and they can count my own contribution among the folks around the world who wanted to see these glasses launched. While the ChatGPT integration for on-device assistance, translation, and more is probably the most touted feature of this device category, I was…

INMO Air – Teardown & Optical Analysis

I don’t think INMO will give me an INMO Air 3 to tear apart and critique… so I had to get creative on how to look at their unique approach to AR glasses: microOLED + 1D reflective waveguide. So after finding a pair of the first generation INMO Air’s for sale online, it was time…
