These CES smart glasses caught me off guard, beating every other pair I've tried in a big way (www.zdnet.com)

At CES 2026, the XGIMI Memo One AI Glasses made a strong impression with their lightweight design and user-friendly navigation, rivaling popular models like the Even Realities G1. These glasses feature dual displays using waveguide prisms to enhance visibility and are equipped with integrated speakers and microphones for seamless interaction with the AI assistant. This assistant operates on a sophisticated multi-LLM hybrid OS that optimally selects from various AI models—such as OpenAI and Azure—tailoring responses for tasks ranging from translation to contextual guidance. The Memo One glasses promise significant implications for the AI/ML community by pushing the boundaries of augmented reality (AR) wearables. Their dashboard is customizable through an intuitive app, allowing users to manage notes, reminders, and even navigation through Google Maps, which is still evolving. Available in multiple styles and colors, the Memo One glasses will retail at $599 and support prescription lenses. This innovation signifies a leap in the AR domain, combining functionality with an accessible everyday aesthetic, and positioning XGIMI as a contender in the smart glasses market alongside other emerging technologies.
