The '''TCL RayNeo X2''' is a standalone [[augmented reality]] [[smart glasses]] developed by [[TCL]], unveiled at [[CES]] 2023 and released in May 2023. It is the world's first standalone binocular full-color Micro-LED optical waveguide AR glasses, featuring a built-in [[Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2]] processor that enables independent operation without a connected device. The glasses include AI translation, GPS navigation, and an AI assistant named "Grace" powered by ChatGPT.
The '''TCL RayNeo X2''' is a standalone [[augmented reality]] smart glasses device developed by [[RayNeo]] (a [[TCL]] subsidiary), announced at CES 2023 and released in 2024 at $699-$850. The RayNeo X2 represents the first true standalone AR glasses in a conventional eyewear form factor, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The glasses feature the world's first full-color Micro-LED optical waveguide displays with binocular vision, achieving 1,000 nits brightness and 100,000:1 contrast ratio—a significant advancement over previous waveguide technologies. With integrated 6DoF inside-out SLAM tracking, the X2 enables world-anchored AR content without external sensors. Key features include a 16MP anti-shake camera for first-person video capture, real-time AI translation powered by Microsoft Azure and GPT-4 with Vision through the "Grace" AI assistant, 3D interactive navigation, and three control methods: temple touch controls, voice commands, and the optional RayNeo Ring controller. Weighing 120 grams with counterweight padding for comfort, the X2 targets early adopters and developers seeking a glimpse of the standalone AR glasses future.
