The '''TCL RayNeo X2''' is a standalone [[augmented reality]] smart glasses developed by [[TCL]] under the RayNeo brand. Unveiled at CES 2023 and powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor, the RayNeo X2 is the first AR glasses with full-color Micro-LED waveguide displays. The glasses feature true glasses form factor at 120 grams, SLAM spatial tracking, a 16-megapixel camera, and AI features including real-time translation powered by Microsoft Azure and GPT-4 with Vision. The X2 supports 3D interactive navigation and multimodal AI assistance.<ref name="rayneo">{{cite web|url=https://www.rayneo.com/products/tcl-rayneo-x2|title=RayNeo X2 AI & AR Glasses|publisher=RayNeo}}</ref>
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.
