Different Sensible Glasses We’ve Examined
We have examined a number of extra pairs of good glasses—some good and a few dangerous.
Rokid Max 2 Glasses for $529: The Spider-Man type lenses give these snug good glasses a little bit of character, although they gained’t be to everybody’s style. They challenge a 215-inch display (1,080p, 120 Hz, 600 nits, 50-degree FoV) and boast diopter dials for focus changes, however I struggled to remove blurring across the edges, and as a substitute of trendy electrochromic dimming, there’s a clip-on plastic blackout defend. I additionally tried the Rokid Station 2 ($299), which provides an Android TV interface to entry leisure apps but additionally a trackpad and air mouse for simpler management. The unique Rokid Station ($139) is a extra primary moveable Android TV.
Even Realities G1 for $599: The Even Realities G1 Sensible Glasses (6/10, WIRED Overview) are maybe the closest good glasses with a projected HUD that would move for normal glasses, however they don’t have cameras or audio system. WIRED reviewer Chris Haslam praised them as good glasses you’ll need to put on, with a massively spectacular HUD projector that shows crisp, inexperienced digital textual content (640 x 200 pixels). They supply notifications and boast AI help for turn-by-turn navigation and audio language translation, however neither characteristic works completely, and the Perplexity-powered AI service may be sluggish to reply to queries.
RayNeo Air 2S for $400: TCL-owned RayNeo has a variety of fashions, and whereas the Air 2S glasses are cheaper than our different digital display picks, I discovered them inferior in design, match, and luxury. They provide a 201-inch digital display (1,080p, 120 Hz, 600 nits), however it’s blurry across the edges. RayNeo’s software program, required for 3 DoF, could be very buggy and unpolished. The 2S are solely barely higher than the older TCL RayNeo Air 2 XR Glasses (5/10, WIRED Overview) with enhanced sound, brightness, and adjustability, however they endure the identical failings.
Amazon Echo Frames for $300: The Amazon Echo Frames (3/10, WIRED Overview) are a bit previous now, however you possibly can nonetheless buy them. Too dangerous they don’t do a lot. They work as sun shades, filter blue mild, and are IPX4-rated. Tech-wise, they’ve a speaker and microphone in every temple, and you should use them to question or command Alexa, as you’d with a wise speaker, however there aren’t any cameras right here, making them far much less succesful than the equally priced Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sun shades for $149: The Lucyd 2.0 Bluetooth Sun shades (7/10, WIRED Overview) are very like the Echo Frames, with a alternative of frames and lenses. They hook up with your telephone and act like a Bluetooth headset, with audio system and microphones within the temples, enabling you to take heed to music, get audio instructions, and question your AI voice assistant.
