RayNeo has unveiled a new pair of smart glasses designed to cut down how often you check your phone. The new iO Smart Glasses place a tiny MicroLED display in the upper corner of your vision, letting you glance at notifications, your schedule, and other quick information without reaching for your smartphone.
A tiny display built to stay out of sight
The iO uses RayNeo’s Firefly Engine Nano, a monochrome green MicroLED display compressed to 0.6 mm that reaches up to 1,300 nits. It sits inside a 33g frame with a 240mAh battery, four microphones, and a bone conduction sensor that isolates your voice from background noise. RayNeo rates the battery for up to 48 hours of typical use and 96 hours on standby.
The glasses skip speakers entirely. Voice input goes through the bone conduction sensor and mics, but nothing plays back, keeping interactions visual only. A scroll wheel similar to Apple Watch’s Digital Crown handles menu navigation, motion sensors enable head gesture controls, and an IP54 rating protects the glasses from splashes and light rain. The glasses also feature a small LED on the temple that lights up whenever the microphones or translation engine are active.
Live translation, a dictation mode, and an AI memory log
That hardware backs two of the iO’s more ambitious software features. The first covers translation and dictation, with Live Translation supporting 40 languages and dictation mode extending that to 112. The glasses also include an auto-teleprompter that scrolls scripts as you speak.
The second feature runs quietly in the background. RayNeo calls it an “Ambient AI Life Log,” a system that tracks your habits and workflows over time to personalize its daily summaries. In addition, the iO Smart Glasses feature a dashboard that offers information about your schedule, alerts, and the weather with a quick upward glance.
For the AI features, the iO includes RayNeo’s own assistant and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite at no additional cost. A $9.99 monthly subscription unlocks other models in the companion app, including ChatGPT 5.1, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, and DeepSeek V3.
Pricing and availability
The RayNeo iO Smart Glasses will go on sale on September 4 through the company’s website and Amazon. The glasses will be available in two configurations, with the standard case variant priced at $479 and the charging case bundle priced at $529.
Along with the iO Smart Glasses, RayNeo has announced a new Google TV streaming puck called Pocket TV Pro. Built to pair with the new RayNeo GT and GT Max AR glasses, the device supports Dolby Vision playback. RayNeo has yet to share pricing or availability details for the Pocket TV Pro.
