  "account": "RayNeo has introduced iO Smart Glasses that display information directly in front of your eyes, reducing the need to constantly check your phone. These glasses house a MicroLED display in the corner of your vision, which can show notifications, schedules, and other quick data. Powered by RayNeo's Firefly Engine Nano, the display is just 0.6 mm thick and can reach up to 1,300 nits. The frames weigh 33 grams and contain a 240mAh battery, four microphones, and a bone conduction sensor that filters out background noise. Battery life is estimated at 48 hours of typical use and 96 hours on standby. Voice input is processed through the bone conduction sensor and microphones, with no sound output, keeping interactions visual. A scroll wheel, similar to Apple Watch's Digital Crown, allows navigation, while motion sensors enable head gestures. An IP54 rating safeguards the glasses from splashes and light rain. The glasses also have a small LED indicating when microphones or the translation engine are active. Among the software features, translation and dictation are supported in 40 languages, with an auto-teleprompter that scrolls scripts as you speak. The \"Ambient AI Life Log\" tracks your habits and workflows to personalize daily summaries, and the glasses come with RayNeo's assistant and Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite, accessible through a $9.99 monthly subscription. The iO Smart Glasses will be available starting September 4 through RayNeo's website and Amazon, priced at $479 for the standard case and $529 for the charging case bundle. The company has also unveiled a new Google TV streaming puck called Pocket TV Pro, designed to work with the GT and GT Max AR glasses, and supports Dolby Vision playback. Pricing and availability for the Pocket TV Pro have not been disclosed yet.",
