XGIMI has stepped outside its projector comfort zone at CES 2026, unveiling MemoMind, a new brand dedicated to AI smart glasses.
The move signals a daring expansion into wearables, with the company promising everyday usability rather than experimental gimmicks.
A fresh take on AI eyewear
MemoMind is launching with two confirmed models: Memo One and Memo Air Display.
Memo One packs dual‑eye displays, built-in speakers, and a full suite of AI features including translation, summarisation, reminders, and contextual guidance.
On the other hand, Memo Air Display strips things back with a lighter monocular design, weighing just 28.9g, aimed at those who want intelligence without visual overload.

A third model, designed to look even closer to traditional glasses, is in development.
Comfort and customisation
We appreciate how XGIMI has prioritised accessibility. MemoMind glasses support prescription lenses, eight frame styles, and five interchangeable temple designs. The charging case extends battery life to a full week, making them practical for daily wear.
This modular approach feels more personal than many rivals, giving users the freedom to match technology with their lifestyle.
AI that blends in
The glasses run on a hybrid operating system that switches between OpenAI, Azure, and Qwen models depending on the task. That means translation or note‑taking happens quietly in the background, without demanding constant attention. It’s a refreshing philosophy compared to wearables that bombard users with notifications.
Memo One will retail at around $599, with preorders opening soon. Pricing for Memo Air Display and the third model will follow later. XGIMI is showcasing the glasses at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, alongside its latest projectors.
Opinion
XGIMI’s pivot into smart glasses feels timely. Competitors like Meta and Ray‑Ban have already tested the waters, but XGIMI’s design‑first approach and optical expertise could give MemoMind an edge. Whether consumers embrace AI eyewear as naturally as smartphones remains to be seen, but the brand’s emphasis on comfort and subtlety is encouraging.
