Xgimi MemoMind One Smart Glasses Skip Cameras, Launch on Kickstarter for $399

·31 views

Chinese projector brand Xgimi debuted its MemoMind One smart glasses at CES 2026 and launched a Kickstarter campaign today, with early-bird pricing starting at $399, compared to a full retail price of $599. Unlike AR glasses from Meta or Snap, the MemoMind One omit cameras entirely, prioritizing privacy and a lighter design while still offering an AI-powered heads-up display. The glasses use micro-LED projectors and waveguide prisms to show a bright green private screen visible only to the wearer, displaying information such as time, weather, calendar events, news headlines, and notifications. Weighing around 47 grams, they feature Harman Kardon speakers and up to 16 hours of battery life, though audio from the open speakers was audible to those nearby. A reviewer who tested a beta unit found some features impressive but noted software bugs, a limited mobile app, and difficulty viewing the display in bright outdoor conditions, with shipping expected to begin in late July.

The original Nitro Deck was praised for fixing drift-prone Switch controllers without requiring a Joy-Con repair. The sequel is said to feel less essential, partly because its right stick sits too close to the ABXY face buttons. The reviewer finds that layout awkward, making the face buttons hard to press without the stick getting in the way.
