Xgimi Launches Memomind Smart Glasses at CES 2026

At CES 2026, Xgimi, a company known for its projector technology, unveiled its new brand, Memomind, which focuses on smart glasses. The Memomind lineup includes three models, with the flagship model, Memo One, featuring dual-lens displays and integrated speakers. This model is designed for users seeking advanced technology in their smart glasses.

The Memomind smart glasses will utilize a hybrid large language model (LLM) that selects from various AI platforms, including OpenAI, Azure, and Alibaba's Qwen, to optimize performance for different tasks. These glasses will support functions such as translation, summarization, note-taking, and contextual guidance, all designed to operate with minimal digital interference. The Memo One is priced at approximately $599 and will be available for pre-order following CES 2026.

Xgimi emphasizes a design-first approach, aiming to create lightweight glasses that integrate seamlessly into daily life. The Memo One and Memo Air Display models will be available in multiple frame styles and can accommodate prescription lenses. Initial reports indicate that the glasses utilize waveguide technology, which enhances user experience by allowing for clearer visuals without the discomfort associated with microLED displays.

Despite the innovative features, there are concerns regarding the usability of the glasses, particularly for individuals who wear prescription lenses. Critics have pointed out that the proximity of the display to the eye may pose challenges for those with vision impairments. The initial skepticism surrounding the microLED technology has shifted to a more favorable view with the confirmation of waveguide use, but potential users remain cautious until they can test the glasses firsthand.

Xgimi has stated that the Memo One will be available for pre-order soon, likely after the Mobile World Congress in March 2026. The company aims to position Memomind as a competitive player in the growing market of AI-infused eyewear, which has gained traction following partnerships like that of Meta and Ray-Ban.
