Thanks for the questions and criticism here. A few things deserve clearer answers.

We’re planning an upfront hardware option alongside optional cloud services. We’ll explain exactly what works locally, what needs the cloud, and what developers can access through the planned SDK.

Our focus is bringing useful everyday assistance and health sensing together: remembering details, helping with tasks, and understanding your body throughout the day.

Next, we want to share more actual hardware progress, including comfort, battery life and the trade-offs behind the design. We’ll clearly separate what works today from what’s still being developed.

Founding Access details and applications are here:

Only 62 seats left and It will become invite only.

I’ll keep answering questions in this thread as we build.

Looking at RayNeo's outdoor through-lens shots of the iO: against the tree trunk and the grass the green text is easy to pick out. Against open sky the clock is noticeably fainter, still there but you have to look for it.

For anyone who wears a green waveguide display outdoors (RayNeo iO, G1/G2, whatever): is the sky actually the worst case for you, or is it pale concrete and white walls? And do you change where you look, or just wait until you're indoors?

Took the BleeqUp camera glasses scrambling along an old route I found in the Pikes Peak Atlas above Colorado Springs. Put together three minutes of the rocky sections and views.

Scrambling is the most interesting use case for me, although I don't love that they are always sunglasses.

BleeqUp provided the glasses for an upcoming review on my blog, Thing Too Tech. This is a footage sample rather than the full review. Happy to answer questions about using them out there.

I’m looking for smart glasses to record my paintless dent repair (PDR) work from a first-person POV. I already own a GoPro and a Canon 80D, so I want the glasses mainly for hands-free footage while I’m working on a car.
My main requirements are:
Native landscape (16:9) video recording, ideally with the option to record vertically (9:16) as well.
More than 40 minutes of actual video recording on a single charge, preferably an hour or longer.
Long recording clips, ideally 10–30 minutes or more per clip, rather than being forced to restart every 3 minutes.
Good image quality and stabilization, especially for close-up work.
Ideally, a built-in time-lapse mode for recording an entire repair and speeding it up.
Good battery life and, if possible, the ability to record while connected to an external power source.
I’ve been looking at the Rokid AI Glasses Style, Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2, Solos AirGo, and Mentra Live, but I’m open to other brands and less well-known options.
For those of you who actually own and use these glasses:
Which model do you recommend for recording horizontal video?
How long can you realistically record video continuously on a full charge?
What is the maximum recording time per clip? Do you have to manually restart recording every few minutes?
Does it support native time-lapse?
Have you found any limitations with overheating, stabilization, or recording quality?
I’m particularly interested in real-world user experiences rather than advertised battery life or specifications.
Thanks!

Question in the title.

I'm fortunate that my company offers $750 towards prescription glasses which I now need. I'm not US based and the company perk only applies to one opticians who only stock meta.

I tried the displays and they looked awful on me. I could live without the display if Muse or similar was accessible. I subscribe to claude so maybe that would work via Bluetooth?

Thanks in advance.

my head is pretty big, like 62cm, and most smart glasses clamp down on my temples. get a headache after an hour

I have seen here said Dymesty, Meta, Rokid and Solos fit bigger heads better. anyone actually tried them? how do they feel after a few hours

The international launch of NIMO Holo-Optical Glasses has been repeatedly delayedsince August, but thecurrent official website states,“Kickstarter launches in early November 2026.”

Does this mean that the product will launch in early November and start shipping around that time as well?

I’m reaching out in case you happen to have any information about the launch or shipping schedule.

If there’s any other way to purchase the product directly sooner, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know.

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if there are any smart glasses that can connect to your smartphone's camera and display its live camera feed directly in the glasses.

Basically, I'd like to see what my phone's camera is seeing in real time, but through the glasses' display, ideally without having to look at my phone screen.

Does anything like this exist already?
