MemoMind, a new AI hardware brand from projector manufacturer XGIMI , launched a crowdfunding campaign for its first smart glasses last week, the MemoMind One, which include dual displays, microphones, and open ear speakers—but no built-in camera.
First shown at CES 2026 in Las Vegas in January, MemoMind One launched a Kickstarter last Sunday hoping to attract a nominal $80,000 HKD (~$10,100 USD) for its first pair of smart glasses, which serve up dual green micro-LED displays (2,000 nits), integrated audio, and a host of AI-assisted actions, such as real-time translation, note taking, contextual assistance, navigation, and more.
At the time of this writing, MemoMind One’s Kickstarter has already blasted past the $500,000 USD mark, now approaching $4.6M HKD (~$586,000 USD).
The China-based company, which is best known for its range of home projectors , is offering MemoMind One in three frame styles: Nomad (Square-Round), Archive (Round), and Gotham (Square), and promises seven customizable color options. They also support prescription lenses, as XGIMI aims to deliver all-day usage with its “up to 16 hour” battery life.
While MemoMind One includes a range of AI-powered features without needing a subscription, such as on-device AI assistant, navigation, translating more than 26 languages, and displaying teleprompter text, the company is also set to offer a monthly ‘Memo+’ subscription service priced at $20 USD per month.
The Memo+ subscription is set to include a longer-term memory that can search across your captured meetings, conversations, and moments. Notably, deposit holders will get 12 months of Memo+ for free while Kickstarter backers get six months.
MemoMind One is available to pre-order through Kickstarter , with shipments expected later this summer. Pricing starts at $400 for the Standard Edition, rising to $499 with prescription lenses. A Custom Edition starts at $449.
Meta and hardware partner EssilorLuxottica have been pretty vocal about the success of their camera-clad Ray-Ban smart glasses over the years. The growing segment has shown that there’s definitely a market out there for people who want stylish glasses that put AI front and center, and also pack in a pretty okay camera and pair of built-in headphones too.
