True waveguide smart glasses!!

The TCL RayNeo X2 are the first widely available consumer-grade smartglasses I know of outside of China that feature proper waveguide displays.

I'll prefer this than some monstrous apple vision

[@waltersixinchsub9861]

this argument is super short sighted. avp and these glasses are trying to do the same thing, its literally just a function of time

[@technolus5742]

Yeah, ideally we would have the functionality of a full ar/vr headset in the form factor. But right now this one is extremely limited in performance and visual fidelity, and vr headsets are bulky. Eventually they should converge - like the other guy is saying.

[@Ghettofinger]

This is just a portable display, Apple Vision Pro is real AR. You can't have AR (Augmented Reality) without sensors to have awareness of reality. Those sensors take up space, so it would be impossible to have real AR in something this size. If you want portable displays, then you aren't interested in AR at all.

If you're looking at this and thinking this is the goal, thats the wrong mind frame. You should be looking at this and thinking, "we are literally just a millimetre here, and a few more millimeters there-away from getting to their goals

Pretty dope! 🔥

[@knighthonor44]

any plans for a full review? I just got the Viture smartglasses because I had a hard time choosing between smartglasses. Would like a comparison

[@CommodoreFan64]

Yeah no thanks, I look bad enough with thin frame glasses I have to wear, plus having a big honking camera on my nose is a big no go with my work, and I'm sure it's the same for a lot of people as well.

[@CerealforProtein]

The bridge of my nose can feel the weight of these chonky glasses through the video.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@CerealforProtein yeah same here 😳

[@technolus5742]

Yeah. I think these need to start having some kind of physical sliding cover for the camera.

[@CommodoreFan64]

@@technolus5742 agreed just like a lot of webcams do now

[@SciMinute]

Wow It's like an Apple vision, but it's more unnoticed and looks normal!

[@knighthonor44]

nah not closes

[@akash-kumar737]

Who watched Samtime Review of this glass?

[@CeArsen]

Does the translation work on text or only audio?

[@rinirestiyati2268]

Can the main lens be replaced with a regular lens? Because people like me who are over 40 years old wear glasses lens size plus 1.00

[@jom1439]

yes - theyre usually 3d printed so having the waveguide display plus optical function for vision correction is possible.

BUT CAN U WATCH THE NAUGHTY VIDEOS

[@jamesrumbaugh2889]

Can you watch KZbin on them

🔥🔥🔥

[@explqicot3293]

I want this to write things

[@Danny.._]

this seems like it's going backwards from the focals, and those came out years ago

[@JeremiahCliffordsatprotonme]

It's just, if I'm going to get smart glasses and it doesn't workout I'ld rather pay $300 rather than thousands. I definitely feel the same way about smartphones as well.

[@petergerdes1094]

This product only makes sense if you have the balls to actually build in facial recognition for people you look at. If you aren't willing to do that why bother?

[@EdLrandom]

AI? aaaa I.... don't want it

[@technolus5742]

Lmao 🤷‍♂️

[@captainbucket3397]

Cry all you want, AI won't go away 😂

[@EdLrandom]

@@captainbucket3397 right, cause stereoscopic "3d" screens and voice assistants never went away, and I'm typing this in VR paid for with mass-adopted crypto lol.

These glasses make you look like a dork
