RayNeo's new AI glasses skip the camera, focus on text overlays

RayNeo launches an AI glasses with no camera and no speaker. The RayNeo iO Glasses overlay text into the wearer's field of view through a green waveguide display, with 97 percent transparency and about 1,200 nits of brightness. There's no camera and no built-in speaker.

The glasses listen in on conversations, summarize them, extract action items, and suggest calendar entries that users can confirm with a head nod. A teleprompter mode and speech-to-text translation for 40 languages round out the feature set. Four microphones and a bone conduction sensor pick up voices even in noisy environments, and an LED lights up whenever the mic is active.

Out of the box, the glasses run RayNeo AI and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite. A $9.99 monthly subscription adds access to ChatGPT 5.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude, and DeepSeek. Pricing starts at $449, with sales kicking off September 4. European pricing will likely be higher. One catch worth flagging: all of the AI models listed are already outdated.
