The way we see it, smart glasses are on their way to becoming the next ubiquitous piece of wearable technology. Meta and Samsung are already doubling down on their respective partnerships with leading eyewear brands. Some are developing their hardware entirely in-house. In fact, one is heading our way next month. Check out the RayNeo iO.
Much like the competition, artificial intelligence is also a huge selling point for this SKU. Nobody wants to fiddle around with their smart glasses all the time, so hands-free voice control should be standard as well. Unlike the other models in the brand’s catalog, it does not come with a forward-facing camera.
You can think of it as an entry-level pair of smart glasses that’s sleek, lightweight, and intuitive to use. However, there are some caveats in the mix as well. For instance, the iO does not incorporate speakers. Instead, you have four microphones and a bone-conduction sensor to enable voice commands.
RayNeo equips each unit with a monochrome green microLED waveguide display. Users can dial the brightness up to 1,300 nits, yet the lens still maintains 97% transparency. Meanwhile, tactile interaction is possible via head motion gestures or through the Smart Crown rotary dial on the right temple.
By default, the iO uses RayNeo AI and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite. Nonetheless, it likewise supports other LLMs such as ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude, and Gemini. The frame boasts a magnesium and titanium construction to keep weight down to a minimum. Its 240 mAh battery lasts up to two days on a full charge.
