Chinese projector maker Xgimi introduced the MemoMind One smart glasses, which feature a heads-up display and omit cameras. The Kickstarter campaign begins June 29 with shipments scheduled for late July.
The VergeXgimi is launching a Kickstarter campaign on June 29 for its MemoMind One smart glasses, which provide a private heads-up display without cameras. The glasses first appeared at CES 2026 and use micro-LED projectors with transparent waveguide prisms to generate a bright green screen visible only to the wearer.
The MemoMind One weigh about 47 grams and include Harman Kardon speakers behind the ears along with batteries rated for up to 16 hours of use.
A proprietary charger clips onto the right arm, and the glasses ship with a carrying case that lacks charging capability. Full retail pricing is set at $599, or $879 with prescription lenses. Kickstarter backers can purchase the standard model for $399 or the prescription version for $499.
Customized styles raise the price to $699 or $879, discounted on Kickstarter to $449 or $499. The Verge reported that reviewer Andrew Liszewski tested a beta unit for one week and found the display adjustable in position and brightness, though visibility dropped outdoors on sunny days.
The glasses support notifications, a voice-activated AI assistant, and a Listen-in Mode translation feature that generated transcripts during tests with French speech.
An optional Moments feature records audio to create daily summaries and will cost $19.99 per month for premium access. The reviewer noted that the Moments feature produced inaccurate summaries and recommended keeping it disabled.
