- Today we're stepping into the future with the world’s first AI-powered true AR glasses, the RayNeo X2.
► Check out the RayNeo X2 here: www.rayneo.com/products/tcl-r...
These aren't your ordinary smart glasses; they're among the first to use waveguide technology, which lets you see a display through remarkably thin glass. It's cutting-edge and not widely used yet, but it's a glimpse of where things are going.
A big thanks to TCL for sponsoring this first look and supporting this channel! Per our guidelines, no review direction was received. Our opinions are our own.

What would you use these glasses for? 👓
Also, hii I'm back after a short break
I'm generally skeptical of these AR glasses. Depends on how well it's implemented, and latency. "Hands free", with a decent display (HUD) is a good next step. Doesn't have to be MR. The most useful apps I see are ...
1. Real time translation
2. Map navigation
3. AI Chat (surprisingly enough). I've discovered that AI voice response is too low bandwidth. An efficient output is actually in text, in bullet point format. But this does not lead to very natural voice output.
Definitely for navigation and translation! 👍🏻 And possibly for helping me get info about items that I’m looking at, if a pair of glasses could do that as well ^^ But I’m definitely happy enough with the first two features!
I'd like it to support web browsing. I also wonder if it supports SDS 3D?
A side from the AR scanning everything else I can already do with my XReal glasses.
Been looking for actual glasses with the Snapdragon XR2 chip specifically made for AR for a while, nice to see its here in implementation now.
Would love to buy a pair and use the live translation in India to see how well it works but for now the Chinese demo was too slow for actual communication.
Usecase would be statuses and live trans/maps, translations of signs in non-ENG places and for fitness status or HR, watts, playlist when training.
Maybe scanning faces and displaying their name, so you know who ppl are in a large work environment and capturing video of meetings as seen by me for dokumentation.
The fact that the store is open for development for everyone is pretty exciting. Though I’m curious about the price, it’s still pretty expensive for what I’d use it for
I can imagine using this device at a bar, scanning the shelf of available alcohols or non-alcohols, combining the knowledge of "favourites" to suggest a cocktail. Maybe even one that's new to the user.
Spoken like a true alcoholic. Cheers. :)
OK, this is very interesting because of the fact there's nothing at all in the way of the full lense area like more of these AR glasses, which was one of the things that bugged me most about the other examples. There's a whole lot of potential with this kind of display me thinks. I'm already envisioning the next round of Meta/Ray-Ban smart glasses using this kind of display.
Yes! That's exactly it. Now we just need to solve the narrow field of view of waveguides :)
@@CasandChary Yeah, we need to get that FOV sorted in pretty much all XR headsets to be honest. Right now it's actually the biggest sticking point for me personally. But it's just cool to see all this tech constantly progressing, and pretty fast actually.
Meta also teased their vastly superior input device to use for AR
Wow, you look so good in these glasses...😍
I am enjoying my Xreal Air 2 Pro glasses....😎👍
I am excited to try the Xreal Air Ultra glasses or those other ones coming called Visor.
Its most practical day-to-day use is IMNSHO, cooking. I would love to be able to scan my pantry, my spice rack, my kitchen, and freezer; then have the AI arrogate all of that into a step-by-step walkthrough cooking experience, that helps me make a tasty, healthy, and easy meal.
Sort of an AI/XR “Blue Apron” (or Hello Fresh) app/device.
Super interesting product. Thank you very nice video. Geweldig
Thanks Cas and Chary XR. Not sure what exactly I would use them for.
These look great!
I ordered these like 2 days ago then order prescription inserts for them. People who are not experienced with Extended reality might think this is not good cause you can’t do things that you do on other devices but experience and educated people on XR know AR glasses are Minimalistic. Is supposed to let you do things that you couldn’t before like having an always on Artificial Intelligence, being able to create memories from your point of view, 6 DoF tracking like Quest 2 but you stay in the real world. There still a lot of things and testing that we don’t know about.
Wow, this looks quite promising! I think the camera in the center of the glasses (above the nose) will ultimately win out because YES, if you put a camera on either side it will always have hair interference! Hopefully Meta & Ray-Ban use this position in their next gen glasses. Thanks so much for creating this video!
But putting cameras in the sides allow stereo vision, that convert in 3d footage in VR later
I'm really excited about this technology!
You and me both!
I love the concept and the functionality, the execution design wise especially is not quite there yet but its still good progress. Got my eyes on the meizu myvu ar glasses as well although one of the models is only monochrome color and they do basic smartwatch type things like notifications and navigation
Love the vision (pun not intended) behind the design, functionality, and use cases for these types of AR glasses. I cant wait to try some out myself. However, there are a few things that are, as far as I can tell, not being openly spoken about. Having constant AI is a fantastic concept, something I would live, but if I am not wrong (a) it's going to require a constant internet connection, (b) that connection will not be free, (c) the AI will also probably incur an ongoing monthly expense, (d) if you normally wear glasses you are either going to have to pay for prescription inserts or for contact lenses (if you are personally able to wear them) and will still need your normal glasses. Also, with the utmost respect, the review felt a bit like a paid infomersial. Still, I love the reviews on this channel 😊
I would use it for gps navigation while driving. I am not sure how distracting it would be. But if it works well, people who work with deliveries could use it, for example.
great vid
To capture favorite moments like 6:58... worth it
Not sure if Milkyway did
YOUR HAIR !!!! freakin' dang =) Great vid on the glasses. Can't wait to evolve to these and leave my phone behind =)
The input reminds me of the ring included with the Focals by north
Im hoping meta brings their bracelet type micro gesture sensor to the market soon.
What glasses is that you guys are wearing at 3:00?
will the Rayneo X2 have Spacial Computing and ability to put media windows to the side of your view instead of blocking the front of your view?
We are missing that one AR glasses that sets the bar for all the others
I'm really excited about a product like this.. but one thing is for sure, I won't buy any until it can be confirmed that the device is compatible with a developer and modder ecosystem. It's promising that you can install APKs on this device, that could lead to custom implementations with any LLM or endpoint that a user or developer could want to use. I'll definitely wait patiently and see if this is possible. If not this one.. then surely one company is going to realize the importance of opening up their device to the dev community
Will be interesting to see how these could be used by teachers to interact and collect data from students. Education apps and Ai to assist with student feedback and learning trends.
Please , I would like to know if this RayNeo X2 can be used for giving lectures in another language different from the language that comes from my mouth , e.g. if I speak French language, can it be translated into English language for my students?
I'm curious if you can see the little square when the glasses are not displaying data. Like, is the view while wearing them distorted or hazy?
When its not a full screen image, you can't see the square. So if it's just a notification or text, you don't really notice the narrow field of view. Yes, it is a little hazy but not distorted at all. Through the lenses shots are hard to make.
Thanks for the video. It does look a bit clunky and the FOV is a disappointment. The AI assistant though is interesting. Have you by any chance tried out prescription lenses with the AR glasses? I've got pretty bad eyesight, so wondering how those are.
generally the first data for marketing a screen is the resolution but when its keep secret its probably because a big shame
These are getting closer and closer to what I envision the future of AR glasses to be. Price still made me wince a bit though.
Reminds me of Johnny Mnemonic movie. Can those glasses have prescription lenses? A lot of people can use it on a regular basis with those glasses.
Asking for you
@@CasandChary thanks 😊
I think it would look fishy in public if I wore these glasses on top of my regular glasses.
Hm... Very exciting! It seems like a nice blend of AI / AR. It is too bad it's only 3DOF for now. But one to keep an eye on, for sure!
The cameras should be blended into the frame and hidden like with the apple vision pro. The front covered does that with the side cameras, but not with the middle one by leaving a hole in the center of the cover. Get a clear and tinted front cover for the glasses that covers all cameras.
Still waiting for pokemon with AR glassess
I am TOO
way too small of a market right now for such things.
sure, but when AR glasses become better, you can bet your butt that every pokemon go player would buy them for the pokemon go AR experience
Intriguing! Just too bad they look so bulky, hope a smaller version will come soon
Keep in mind these are in the early stages of development
Few questions :
1. Does it supports notifications display (WhatsApp , slack , email , calendar events ) ?
2. If the answer to 1 is yes than does it supports multilingual notifications ? (Example : displaying WhatsApp preview in Russian )
3. Those are not the first ar waveguide glasses … look for inmo and inmo go
I skipped the campaign for this and am waiting for the smaller, better-looking version releasing later on this year
If the product respects my privacy and also offers corrective lenses then I could see it having a future
They do offer prescription lenses through lensology.
@@SwestPhotos Thanks that’s really good
Cassandra! I thought it was short for Casablancabananarama.
I wish lol
Camera is better than I expected, alot of smart glasses have very outdated video (thoigh the competition often hides the camera better)
Wow those are chonky.
Can't wait to play my Gameboy Color games on this!
The first AR waveguide glasses are the inmolens 2
Does translation need online access to work? What if you are in a country and the place you are at doesn’t have internet.
as a terminally online person, I really needed more screen time.
does they support a browser
Alright American tech companies, your move.
I want the rayban glasses to have these features
Same
"Stealthy profile" no not at all, they are huge!
Compared to all other smartglasses with a screen, I don't think so? Altho I get your point.
@@CasandChary For me what "gives them away" is the wide lense size. The frames themselves are kinda thin. If they can shrink the lenses then I think these will go unnoticed.
How can I get that drum
In case of pepole who wear glasses, hiw can use this smart glasse?
je viens d'acheter la X2 sur Aliexpress et je cherche le mode d'emploi 😢 pouvez vous aider. merçi😊
It's a shame specs like FOV or resultion wasn't included even if they're estimated. Looked it up and those are around 25-30 degrees and 480p(SD) apparently. Obviously not the best but the method andtech it uses is obviously muchhh better than methods anyone else is using since its a lot more compact and natural and is obviously the future that will be build off. If a next version can bump it up to 1080p and even only around 35 degrees it would make it even amazing for video and would replace my Xreal Airs instantly. From a hardware only side of things that would the Xreals and defintiely the Apple Vision Pro look like very old tech in comparison. So yeah give me a 1080p version, 35 FOV, and only 3DOF, and i'd still buy them instantly for the media side of things alone.
Sorry I should have added that - I'll include in the full review. Yeah, it would be great once we hit that point. Waveguide based glasses are nice and thin but come with the trade-off of small resolution display and narrow FOV (which is shown in this video with the through the lenses capture and the anime gal). It's not made for watching video/ screen mirroring like XREAL, but more for the stuff I showed in the video. Whether that's useful to you will be subjective.
as an owner of xreal air pro and vision pro, ar glasses come no where close to the 4k displays of vision pro. they are different products with different pros and cons that can do similar things but in very different ways
I think they are super cool. With that said, I think that technology isn’t advanced and I cost effective enough way yet to get everything small enough to look like real traditional glasses so I think they should pivot slightly and make them look like cool sunglasses or something that would look a little more futuristic or fashionably cool to wear with a more futuristic design, but they all seem to be trying to copy Ray Ban style glasses and I think they should pivot.
800 is a lot for low res limited function glasses. if you wire them to a phone, tablet, computer, it could at least overcome some of the feature limitations.but doesn't sound like you can even do that with these glasses
Reminds me of the Google Glass
I would possibly get these if it had "English to English" (translation) option for my hard of hearing grandmother. But I don't know if it's translator app allows transcribing English without converting from another language.
It can, you can set it English to English. Not sure if worth it JUST for this feature tho, definitely look into the other features too.
Thanks for the reply. I much appreciate it.@@CasandChary
"The FIRST Waveguide AR Glasses You Can Get" I saw the title and was confused. We have other waveguides already
❤
1:05 - Are these not AR glasses? Are the feature here or not? 🤔
Does gpt access come w it?
Yes!
@CasandChary oh. then its 3.5 for free?
@@drmarioschannel GPT-4V with 100k credits
Seems like it could be a watershed device?
perfect Edna Mode
This sound quality is super weird it sounds like it's in a vox. Like it's overcompressed or something.
RayNeo is owned/backed by TCL right? So why the IndieGoGo campaign? Isn't that for startups who need capital to get production going?
Some companies, in my experience established 3d printer companies, will go crowdfunding for some new products. My guess would be it helps offset some overhead for tooling to manufacture new products, as well as being a way to get a read on minimum demand. The potentially scummy part about it is unlike a pre-order with the company direct, crowdfunding has users opting in to acknowledge that it is NOT a pre-order and therefore there is no promise of an end product so if anything goes wrong with the production they can just keep delaying it or cancel entirely and their financial liability to the customer is much less.
I got an answer from TCL on this: The Indiegogo platform has a significant number of early adopters passionate for cutting-edge technologies, which aligns well with the positioning of the RayNeo X2 glasses. This is the main reason why we decided to launch this product on Indiegogo. We totally understand backers' conecrn. As a TCL-incubated company, we're confident that we will be able to fulfill all deliveries to our backers. In fact, we have held a successful Indiegogo campaign for our NXTWEAR S glasses last year.
I'll wait until they look a lot less chunky and dorky.
bu gözlükte karşıdan bakan bizim ekranı görüyor mu ?
Giving meta ray band a run for their money.
Are the frames 3D printed???? Why so god awful thick. I can't...I just can't.
This would be great for people with Amnesia or Alzheimers if it can somehow allow the user to create "contacts" with facial recognition.
I wish TCL designed those glasses with a removable battery so that it can be replaced on the day it will inevitably die, to make them a really long time investment by considering how the whole world has been struggling financially with inflation for 2 years since Russia invaded Ukraine.
A cap on the cable port would also have been welcome to protect it from the rain.
Last but not the least : I also wish TCL chose the 2nd gen of the Snapdragon XR2 chip which is already used by the meta quest 3 and consumes 50% less power than the 1st gen included in Rayneo X2.
It seems to me the colors are pretty bad. Can you actually watch videos on it? And what it the Field of View?
Watching videos on these isn't great, low res and the field of view is estimated to be 25 degrees. The glasses are made for notifications and real world overlays. If you are looking at the through the lenses, the colors aren't right as capturing it is hard. The screen recording with the simulated background looks more like it - just slightly more transparent.
Frustrating that you cant plugin and mirror displays of smarter devices like computers, phones, and tablets
I hope Samsung is paying attention right now.
Object detection on AR glasses is the worst feature I can think of. If I can not identify the name of an object, likely, I do not know how to read the name of the object on the glasses :)
The point of the object recognition is to allow for quicker data searches. If you can just look at something then say, "get me more information on that", and have the AI expand on what you are seeing, that can be very helpful. Manuals, guides, and, other information available with just your voice.
What could be helpful with object detection is that it can do more. Like translate the object in other languages or when asked, providing more info on the object, like the calorie count of the orange
Might be useful for speeding up repairs for technicians etc. not so much in normal life.
@@Xenomystus I believe the only purpose of the feature is for training A.I.
Considering it can do so much, you would think they could make it a bit more stylish.
What would you suggest?
I kinda think it works the other way around when you’re talking about early generation versions of something like this. At least IMHO.
Wait for the next one. It looks much better
What you want? You think this is fashion show? It's made to be usable and practical, tech is still new.... So stop being negative you 🤡
@@KyleMorrison thinner bezels...sure top bezel needs thickness for cables but the lower bezels made of thin flex titanium or aluminum would make the the glass and and lower bezels more negligible and just a thick stick above the eyes only... Glasses top bezels should be able to be worn just over the top of the eye so the eyes arent the main focus and thinner bezels on the bottom would make the glasses not look like an oversized glasses but instead its own unique look....
Some great insight, but it felt like you sidestepped some important attributes about these glasses - and subtly downplayed the competition, with their “basic functions”. Given the product sponsorship, it’s difficult to see this as a review, it feels more like a nudge in their direction.
They’ve got a lot out of the real estate but nonetheless look practically comical. It’s hard to ignore the Edna look and feel, particularly when shown in comparison to your regular glasses - and yet, no commentary.
Suggesting three capabilities is a stretch… let’s be honest, they have one function, AR. AI is built into the software that enables the AR tech, but you can’t identify an integration with GPT as a standout function.
I’d liked to have seen a better comparison with alternatives, but I can see why this was avoided. Bearing in mind the Xreal Ultras come in cheaper, also offer 6DoF, as well as other (more useful) purposes - although, now I sound like an Xreal fanboy, so let’s move on.
At nearly a grand, and the very limited real life use cases, I can respect its attempt to push the market and further expand adoption of this tech. However, it’s unconvincing and the video created questions I didn’t come here to ask, I’m simply left wondering why the ‘review’ swerved so many of the crucial features.
That said, the review was a classy production, but I’ll be avoiding the Sponge Bob Square Pants school boy look, thanks 🤓

Although it is mentioned here that it represents the beginning of a technology, nothing is said about the performance or the quality of the further development to widescreen photos praised here. Nor how practical it is in general.

To be fair it's not trying to be immersive
Hi thanks for the effort in this video. But you repeat the same message again and again and again in this video. It is about 8-10 minutes too long! This makes it feel more like a promotional video than a REAL review. Wish you all the best in future.
“It makes it feel like a promotional video…”
That’s because it probably is.
Feels like we're talking about the same hypotheticals that we were when Google Glass shipped 11 friggin years ago. If this is early adopting, the rate of development for AR has been less than impressive. What would I use these glasses for? Nothing, they're not practically useful.
Except this time it’s a better company and no longer hypotheticals.
Oh Cas, you look sooo sexy in those glasses 🙂 Just kidding. This looks very promising indeed but I don't think I would like to be an early adopter for this price.
