XR on! - Cas and Chary XR
Project Aura - A Full XR Headset, 6X Lighter?!
This is the future of work
These smart glasses don't have a camera. Instead, they remember the things you forget. After a few days with the MemoMind One in New York, I get why XGIMI made that bet.
👉 Reserve your pair + lock in $399 (vs $599 retail) → https://bit.ly/3PxLq5Q

In this video, we go hands-on with the MemoMind One, XGIMI's first pair of AI display smart glasses, fresh from the New York launch event. We cover the camera-free design, the AI Long Memory feature that stuck with me most, the OpenClaw-friendly architecture for the XR nerds, the subscription situation, and the honest reasons you might want to wait. Would you wear smart glasses with no camera, but always-on audio, if the privacy controls were this strict? Drop it in the comments.

What You'll Learn in This Video
• Why MemoMind One went camera-free in 2026, and what that means for privacy
• How AI Long Memory turns passive listening into Wishlists, Moments, and AI Suggestions
• Why the multi-LLM hybrid OS and OpenClaw direction matter for long-term use
• Where it lands vs the Even Realities G2 and Meta Ray-Ban Display

Big thanks to XGIMI for supporting the channel today by sponsoring this video!
