New $399 pair of glasses can turn your handheld into a 307-inch gaming setup

RayNeo has introduced two new AR smart glasses, priced at $299 and $399, promising to turn any handheld device into a massive 307-inch gaming and entertainment screen. Both models boast dual 1080p Micro-OLED displays operating at up to 120Hz, along with advanced display enhancement and spatial tracking capabilities. The $399 GT Max model offers a wider 59-degree field of view, allowing users to virtually scale up to three screen sizes: 227, 267, and an impressive 307 inches.

The more affordable $299 GT model, with a narrower 46-degree field of view, can scale between 136, 201, and 231 inches.

Equipped with RayNeo's proprietary Vision 4000 display chip and a dedicated Zone 360 3DoF chip for spatial tracking, the glasses also feature a unique Steady Mode to stabilize images during movement and Pinned Mode to anchor virtual displays in space. The addition of Bang & Olufsen-tuned quad speakers and directional Whisper Mode further enhances the audio experience by reducing sound leakage by 80%. Both models can display up to 1,200 nits of brightness and support 3,840Hz PWM dimming.

While the GT Max is lighter at 78 grams and offers three IPD sizes for a better fit, the GT weighs 68 grams and uses a conventional Birdbath optical system. RayNeo's Dolby Vision playback is supported through the upcoming Pocket TV Pro accessory, priced separately. The $299 starting price is particularly notable when compared to the Xreal a01+, which launched at $499 in the U.S. market.

This pricing strategy places the GT Max in an exclusive segment where $399 can buy highly sophisticated hardware, similar to Sennheiser's recently announced Momentum True Wireless 5 earbuds, which start at $299.95.
