AI Glasses Designed to Pass as Normal Eyewear

At CES 2026, XGIMI will step outside projection hardware and into wearables with the launch of MemoMind. The new brand introduces customizable AI glasses designed to resemble regular glasses. The company is positioning MemoMind as a natural extension of eyeglasses that function more as a companion when needed, rather than something that feels intrusive.

There will be three products at launch. Memo One is the most fully featured option, including a dual-eye display and speakers. Memo Air Display weighs just under 30 grams, has a single-eye display, and includes a battery that lasts all day (or up to a week with its case). A third model is in development and is said to look most like standard glasses.

The smart glasses run on a multi-LLM system that automatically chooses a model—OpenAI, Azure, or Qwen—depending on the task, which might be translation, summarization, reminders, note-taking, etc. XGIMI says that the goal is background assistance, where interactions with the system are relevant and brief, surfacing only when needed.

These glasses are also customizable, so they will still work if you require a prescription. There are eight frame styles and five interchangeable temple designs to choose from.

Preorders will open soon. For now, the only confirmed pricing is that Memo One is expected to cost around $599.
