Xgimi, the Chinese company known for its all-in-one smart projectors, is expanding its portfolio with a new line of screen-equipped smart glasses that first debuted at CES 2026. Unlike AR glasses from companies like Meta and Snap, Xgimi’s new privacy-focused MemoMind One skip cameras for a lighter and more discreet design that helps hide their AI-powered smart functionality. After testing them for a week, I’m completely sold on the idea of having a screen floating in front of my eyes constantly feeding me useful information that no one else can see, but the MemoMind One don’t entirely deliver on my Tony Stark fantasies just yet. There’s some unique functionality I can’t get from my smart watch or phone, but I’m going to need a little more to justify dropping a half-grand (or more) on another smart wearable.
Xgimi is launching a Kickstarter for the glasses today, and the company plans to start shipping them in late July. There are three styles to choose from, and while full pricing will be $599, or $879 with prescription lenses, backing the Kickstarter discounts them to $399/$499. You can also customize the appearance of some of the styles with different colors, but that increases the price to $699/$879, which is discounted to $449/$499.
I tested a beta version with beta software and a buggy mobile app that’s missing features. So while I can’t weigh in on what the final experience will be like, after a week I was impressed with some features and frustrated with others.
