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

·11 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.

Thunderstorms and fiber-optic cables unlock new seismic imaging method

Scientists have found that thunderstorms generate seismic waves capable of mapping underground geological features. The method leverages fiber-optic cables already laid in the ground to detect these naturally occurring vibrations. This approach offers a passive, cost-effective alternative to traditional active seismic surveys, which typically require artificial energy sources. By combining atmospheric events with existing infrastructure, researchers can build detailed pictures of subsurface structures without additional drilling or equipment deployment.
