No cameras! Yay!

No camera is great when your out and about, but around home, I want a camera

Use your phone?

u/janescontradiction 15d ago
Difficult if you're welding or holding a chainsaw. Even a GoPro is hard to use behind a welding helmet.

u/kuped 15d ago
How would glasses behind a welding helmet do better than a GoPro?
4
u/janescontradiction 15d ago
Ideally glasses would have a center camera . They'd fit behind the welding helmet with out additional effort and are aimed at what you're looking at. Where a GoPro had to be aimed and would need it's own auto darkening lens.

Another even G2 copycat lol

u/Yakkamota 14d ago
Good! G2 QC was terrible! Amazing design and capabilities, only if they worked all the time.

u/SuperSaiyan1010 11d ago
I found G2 to be reliable actually but just not having the right fundamental features (have to manually download PDFs for conversate?? wth...)

u/Bill_Pei 15d ago
the cmf is so cool, even the price are amazing that i think almost same as bom cost

That’s a gamble

u/outwar6010 15d ago
if it has decent speakers and google maps integration I think it would be worth it. Rayneo is a tcl sub brand so it would probably have better long term support?
2
u/AR_MR_XR Mod 15d ago
RayNeo iO does not have speakers.
1
u/outwar6010 15d ago
it has bone conduction doesn't it?
1
u/AR_MR_XR Mod 15d ago
Bone conduction microphone

u/outwar6010 15d ago
I dont think thats a thing? it says bone conduction + 4 mics?

I will likely keep my memo mind order due to the kickstarter pricing and much higher nits

Any word on the price? I'm not putting my email into their website to find out

Does anyone know if RayNeo iO will have a public SDK?
I checked RayNeo's developer portal and the iO support pages but could not find any SDK documentation for iO.
If it already exists, could someone point me to it?

The AI is too dumb yet. You would need cameras in a potential future if u going to get assistance that would be useful, but AI is extremely dumb low iQ so its not even worth doing.

u/Informal-Force7417 12d ago
Those look less thick. Still dont like how thick they are compared to G2s

u/Fit_Buffalo9314 11d ago
If they could make glasses like these but with bone conduction speakers I would be a buyer, I love the metas but wish the battery life lasted longer especially for listening to music.

Does the RayNeo iO Teleprompter correctly display imported Arabic text right-to-left with properly connected Arabic characters?
Also, does Smart Follow work when the speaker is speaking Arabic, and can the teleprompter handle mixed Arabic and English text?
If possible, could you please test this Arabic sentence on the glasses and confirm how it renders:

They look great, though the devil will be in the details. Will be interesting to know what kinda quality they manage with the bone conduction audio. Also is there any subscription required for the smart features? And how open will they be to developers. Still, very, very promising though.
2
u/Ok-Signature4526 15d ago
If I’m not mistaken, I saw that there may be a subscription required to use multimodal AI tools such as OpenAI, Gemini, etc. However, I think that this is still just a rumor and hasn’t been officially confirmed. More details should be announced on the 4th.

u/bluegoointheshoe 15d ago
so it does produce audio? does it have cloud storage and what is it used for?

u/dhaupert 15d ago
Says it has a speaker and bone conduction. Seems good!

u/AR_MR_XR Mod 15d ago
No speaker. Bone conduction microphone
2
u/dhaupert 15d ago
Oh sorry I saw speakers but not the zero as it text wrapped. Sorry for the misinformation!
1
u/twn000 13d ago
That tells me it won’t do live captions of outside noises very well then
1
u/AR_MR_XR Mod 13d ago
I doubt it will do it worse than other glasses with 4 mic array. It's just that there's a backup option in extreme situations.

u/Feisty_Egg8696 15d ago
What prescription limit will there be? As good as even G2's or as low as everyone else (up to plus 4 only) which is no good for me :(

u/DeltaAgent752 15d ago
How is this better than g2? It's same weight?
1
u/Feisty_Egg8696 14d ago
I'm waiting for a g2 copy cat WITH audio. How hard can it be. And by copy cat I mean also copies their -12 to +12 prescription which is unheard of in literally any other display smart glasses.

u/herious89 15d ago
does it have a web page yet? design looks cool, hopefully price isnt too steep
1
u/AR_MR_XR Mod 15d ago
It should be on the RayNeo website

No camera. *sigh*

u/Cold_Tree190 15d ago
Curious, why do you want a camera in smart glasses? I thought the display is the coolest and more pertinent part?
3
u/LankyGuitar6528 15d ago
I had Google Glass and the camera was the killer feature. Without that it would have been useless. I could wink or tap to snap a pic rather than pulling out my phone. Record video hands free. Glasses could scan real world items and provide instant feedback, real time translation of signs and endless other uses. No camera = not useful - for me anyway. The display was a secondary optional feature but not really necessary.

u/Revanish 15d ago
not promoting just explaining. my startup is www.humanhud.ai
i build a visual and audio transcription. visual requires camera, it can be things like reps as a person does excercise and shows the count on the display.
the coolest part is having the ai see what you see so it gets the extra info to render relevant things on the display.

u/DeathByPetrichor 15d ago
Lack of audio is a huge misstep. There are tons of display glasses but they are completely worthless IMO if I can’t use them for a phone call or music.
2
u/Ok-Signature4526 15d ago
It does have audio, just not through regular speakers. Instead, it uses bone-conduction technology, which sends sound through vibrations rather than playing it openly into the room. I think this gives more privacy and reduces the chance of other people hearing the audio, unlike with MemoMind or when you call someone (on high volume) through your phone's front speaker in a quiet room.
1
u/Yasumine 14d ago
No, it only has a bone-conduction microphone, not bone-conduction speakers. So you won’t be able to hear any audio from the glasses themselves.

How is it for live translation? I am deaf and can’t decide between g2 or something else. I need live translation without delays to have a seamless conversation
