ThirdEye Razor MR Glasses is an augmented reality head-mounted display announced in 2022. The glasses were developed by ThirdEye (ThirdEye Gen Inc.), a company based in Princeton, New Jersey, and were announced on 3 January 2022 as the company's first mixed reality glasses for consumers.[1][3] SiliconANGLE described ThirdEye as an enterprise-focused mixed reality company and wrote that the Razor builds on its MR glasses design for industry workers.[3]
The Razor MR Glasses are a foldable, 85-gram pair of glasses with a 43-degree field of view, a 70 Hz refresh rate and a diopter adjustment for nearsighted wearers. They run Android 9.0 and can also be connected to phones, laptops, tablets and game consoles.[1][3] ThirdEye showed the glasses at CES 2022, where Techaeris reported prices of US$699 for the glasses alone and US$1,199 for a package with a compute pack.[2]
Announcement and release
ThirdEye announced the Razor MR Glasses in a press release dated 3 January 2022 and presented them at CES 2022.[1][2] In the release, founder and CEO Nick Cherukuri said the company had found "a great desire to bring our lightweight solutions and user-friendly applications, like RemoteEye, for home use as well" through customer feedback it had received since it launched in 2016.[1]
According to the announcement, the glasses had already received pre-orders from "leading consumer and telecom companies", were in production and would ship later in 2022. ThirdEye took pre-orders through its website and sales email address.[1][4] A product photo published with Auganix's report showed the unboxed glasses branded as the "X5 MR Glasses".[4]
Techaeris reported two configurations. The glasses alone cost US$699 and draw power from a connected phone; a package that adds a compute pack for extra processing cost US$1,199.[2]
As of September 2026, the product menu on ThirdEye's website listed the MIDAS, Secure Extended Reality (SXR) smart glasses, X2 MR Glasses and military smart glasses, and did not list a Razor model.[5]
The company's ThirdEye X2 MR Glasses, an enterprise model, are listed on the same website with a 1280 x 720 pixel waveguide display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR1 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, at a price of US$2,450.[6]
Design and hardware
The Razor MR Glasses fold like ordinary glasses and weigh 85 grams.[1] SiliconANGLE described them as looking "a bit like a pair of bulky, foldable sunglasses".[3] ThirdEye rated battery life at 8 hours.[1]
The display has a 43-degree field of view, which ThirdEye compared to a 120-inch screen, and a refresh rate of 70 Hz.[1] For nearsighted users, a knob on the side of the frame adjusts the lenses from zero to minus five diopters. Cherukuri said this meant wearers would not need to stack "multiple eyewear pieces", which he said VR solutions require.[1][3]
Audio comes from a dual high-definition directional sound system, and two noise-canceling microphones are intended to enable clear communication. The glasses also support voice control.[1][3]
The glasses can connect to most Android and iOS devices, including phones that support DisplayPort output, to laptops and tablets with a USB-C port, and to game consoles through an HDMI adapter.[1][2]

Software and features
ThirdEye said the Razor MR Glasses would offer more than 100 apps, covering gaming, entertainment, telehealth and remote assistance. According to ThirdEye, the glasses already supported many metaverse applications in ThirdEye's app store, including RemoteEye and RespondEye.[1] The announcement said game developers were building multiplayer metaverse apps in which digital information is overlaid on a cityscape, and that users could watch films and television shows with spatial audio.[1]
Two existing ThirdEye enterprise applications were offered for home use. RemoteEye is a remote-assistance app intended for tasks such as getting real-time help with home repairs or taking an inventory of household assets for insurance purposes. SiliconANGLE reported that it lets a remote technician see through cameras built into the glasses and add information to the wearer's view.[1][3] RespondEye, described by ThirdEye as HIPAA-certified, is a telehealth platform that lets a remote doctor or caregiver view the patient in real time and add AR annotations.[1]
ThirdEye also listed hands-free uses such as social media, a multi-purpose assistant, workouts with a heads-up display coach and mixed reality games.[1]
