== History and Development ==<br />

RayNeo, a brand under TCL Electronics, developed the Air 2 as a competitive entry in the consumer AR glasses market dominated by XREAL and VITURE. The glasses were designed to offer premium display specifications at a lower price point than competitors. The success of the Air 2 led to the release of the improved [[RayNeo Air 2s]] model with enhanced brightness, audio, and adjustability.<ref name="tomshardware">{{cite web |url=https://www.tomshardware.com/virtual-reality/rayneo-air-2-ar-glasses-review |title=RayNeo Air 2 AR Glasses Review: Impressive Mini OLED Visuals Marred by Poor Audio and No-Frills Accessories |publisher=Tom's Hardware |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref><br />
