INMO AIR VS Vuzix Blade - Which Smart Glasses Is Better?

[@KentoCommenT]

I wasn't expecting such seamless editing between the main video and what you're seeing. Very useful.

[@ljptech]

You are welcome

[@luisgino445]

The Vuzix Blade is actually a pretty decent pair of AR Glasses when you consider the fact that it’s a couple years older than the Inmo Air.

[@ljptech]

Absolutely

[@thomasjoe1812]

Finally somebody whohas put up a review in English. Thanks a ton! I have got a few questions though and it would be of great help if you could answer : - How much is the battery life of Inmo? - Can we view pdf, excel,PPT files, etc on Inmo without the help of phone mirroring? and if yes, then through which app on the appstore? - And lastly, I didn't sign up for the Indiegogo fundraiser to purchase the glasses, so is there any other way that I could purchase them and get it shipped to India?

[@ljptech]

1. 40mins -1 hour for constant use, I.e KZbin or Google Map. Maybe 9-10 hours on standby? 2. USB cable connected to your PC and transfer data? 3. Their official website or ask them on Twitter

Hello, good evening, I want to buy it tomorrow but I have some questions 1. how long does it take to fully charge? I read in the instructions that it lasts around 5 hours. Is this correct or does it depend on the use? 3. Can I use the KZbin app that is integrated into the glasses or do I necessarily need to download the application on my cell phone? 4, is it safe for eyes??? The most important question fornme , thank you in advanced and alrededy subscribed to your channel;)

[@ljptech]

Thanks for subbing - The only answer I can give is battery last depending on how much you use. The rest, I am not an expert of the field so sorry.

[@qtjoel]

Great review! Question, can you tell me the experience of how it looks with clear lens (not the the sunglasses). Can you still watch video (relatively) well? Also, can others see the projection while they are looking/speaking with you?

1.Yes 2. 50/50 3. Might take a while to restore your balance of vision for such length but you would need a charger for this

[@SimeonTuitt]

Great to see an English review up for the Inmo Air, very good first impressions unboxing review. I'm surprised you weren't dissapointed with the product since it contains none of the features included in the promotional video: No ability to use inmo air for phone calls No safe app available on Play Store No setting to adjust clock time No voice control No left and right hand gesture control No navigation No AI image labeling for calorie counting No health app for the ring No share options for the recorded videos Recorded videos limited to 3 minutes Overall what's been sent to backers lacks any real use if the unsigned android app isn't downloaded and iOS users have no use for it since there is no app. This seems more like a developer version than a finished product unfortunately :-( The blue lenses you received with the glasses should of been the clear lenses Inmo said they'd send to backers to replace the shaded lenses and they didn't. I think the blue lenses are just to give to an optician to measure to create prescription lenses. At least with your Vuzix you can install apps, the Inmo air has no ability for a normal user to install their own apps. As you noticed the glasses fit badly, did you notice the bottom of screen out of view when you had them on? If you manage to make a phone call on the inmo air let me know. :-) If you search bluetooth devices on your phone you'll find there's no call manage option for the Inmo air to be used to make or receive calls. 😢 Screen mirroring is really a useless function for navigation because you have to rotate your phone and have it out unlocked, so might as well use mobile. The inmo air promotional video showed navigation built into the glasses and said it showed speed and altitude and what they shipped has none of the features advertised. These certainly aren't worth the price that was paid to fund them and the late delivery.

[@ljptech]

Thanks for your detailed input on this. I would say many cases you raised is spot on!

[@SimeonTuitt]

@@ljptech If you can use ADB you can add functions to customise them but for the price those steps shouldn't be required and Inmo still hasn't released its developer kit to help developers create apps for it. If they built in an APK loader into the android app that would open more options and skip ADB. Have you ordered the Viture One and Nimo Planet glasses for reviewing when they come out in future?

[@ljptech]

First time I heard Nimo planet but looks pretty much same as Vuzix.

[@kananiy5175]

I just got my INMOAir glasses and I had a difficult time connecting to my Bluetooth on my phone. I think after a while, I got it to work but it wasn't intuitive for me. I scanned the wrong QR code from the manual. (scanned the WeChat instead of the NMolen app) So far, am playing around with it and will try to record some video and pictures while playing tennis. You are right that it does seem cheaply made and the lens on the inside isn't easy to put on and off. It has to be set just right or it comes loose. I can't get my Galaxy Note 8 to mirror the Google Maps on it. When I try to mirror my phone, it says to use Tubio, which only mirrors the content on Tubio on the phone, not my navigation. I am still trying to figure out how to get the other functions I saw on the promo video to work such as recognizing food I prepare while cooking, etc. It's not intuitive to get those things to work. Have you tried those functions from the promo video?

[@ljptech]

I have a very important question I am wondering if you can mirror your phone screen to the glasses without having them connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I am also wondering if the mirror video button works the same way? I am assuming that that involves me clicking that button connecting for video mirroring and then opening Netflix or something like that and I am wondering if that feature works without having them connected to the same Wi-Fi network. I am wondering if I can listen to music from my phone on the glasses and I am wondering what apps are included on the glasses and what apps are available to download. Does it have youtube? Tick tock? Are the glasses loud enough that I would hear the audio in a loud room? Are they loud enough that I would hear the audio if I cover my ears with something with the glasses? Can I access the text messages on my phone? I am pretty sure that it says that you can make and receive calls on the glasses. Thank you for your time

First of all thanks a lot for dealing with this subject, cos there’s very little info for something so costly and difficult to test. More than a year ago Qualcum sets the pace with a ‘’wearable cable free mixed reality glasses’’. Disregarding other bulkier also called stand alone glasses, today I only see the inmo air wich has great specs, only I find them a little short and the Vuzix shield a firm that has to preted they hate consumers to sell more sets to the industry by castrating the great specs of the glasses by withdrawing apps that are available in their cheaper sets. My Question is: I see, as an example, the Nreal air light has one lens that overlapps a second lens and on the Vuzix it seems the image goes to the only lens. Is the cinema screen quality as good in the Shield as what they say about the Nreal air Light? dough most interested in other aspects, this one is always a plus. In my desperation I’m thinking of buying a Shield with the hope they’ll improve apps or maybe wait for some kind of Nreal Light Pro with wifi and battery if they don’t take too long to launch.
