When you want an immersive viewing experience while on the go, our go-to platform is Meta’s Quest headsets. For example, the Quest 3S is a versatile gadget that’s great to have handy when you’re away from a big-screen TV. Unfortunately, its physical footprint can be a caveat at times. In the meantime, the RayNeo GT Max seems like a tempting upgrade.
This new pair of AR glasses launched alongside the brand’s iO smart glasses this month. While the latter is an AI-powered piece of hardware, the GT Max is engineered primarily for entertainment. To ensure this wearable functions as intended, measure your interpupillary Distance (IPD) and pick from three sizes.
These are S (<64 mm), M (64-67 mm ), and L (>67 mm). Once this is out of the way, another aspect to consider is the standalone usability. Unlike other AR and VR eyewear, this model does not run on any proprietary software. Basically, it’s similar to an external monitor that connects to supported devices via USB-C.
RayNeo also offers optional accessories such as an HDMI adapter, a JoyDock for the Nintendo Switch, and others. The GT Max can be toggled between three screen sizes: 227 inches, 267 inches, and 307 inches. Its field of view, on the other hand, is around 59 degrees. Furthermore, spatial tracking modes include Pinned, Steady, and Follow.
Audio comes from the Racetrack down-firing quad-speaker system, which is inside the temples just above the user’s ears. The acoustics are tuned by Bang & Olufsen and boast “studio-grade dynamic range.” The GT Max relies on a two-chip architecture. These are the Vision 4000 and Zone 360. Hook it up to your handheld gaming PC or smartphone for large-format visual enjoyment.
