What you need to know

  • Lenovo showcased Meta Ray-Ban-style AI glasses at CES 2026 as a proof-of-concept focused on AI-powered assistance.
  • The AI glasses rely on a connected smartphone and offer voice and touch controls, music playback, and teleprompter features.
  • Lenovo's Qira AI enables live translation, image recognition, and notification summaries across multiple connected devices.
  • The lightweight glasses promise up to 8 hours of battery life, but there is no confirmation of a commercial launch yet.

Alongside the reveal of Motorola's first book-style foldable phone, Lenovo has showcased its proof-of-concept Meta Ray-Ban-style AI glasses at CES 2026.

This year's CES has been packed with companies showing off new AI smart glasses. Xreal unveiled new smart glasses in collaboration with ASUS, while Rokid also introduced its latest AI eyewear. Lenovo has now joined that growing list by revealing its AI Glasses Concept at CES 2026.

Lenovo's AI glasses follow a design similar to the Meta Ray-Ban glasses, featuring a camera on the front left corner of the frame and another on the right. The glasses appear to use a nose-pin design instead of the Meta Ray-Bans style and also seem to include an additional camera positioned between the two lenses.

Like the Meta Ray-Bans, Lenovo's AI Glasses rely on a tethered smartphone for processing and do not operate independently. Lenovo says the glasses support touch and voice controls for hands-free calling, can act as a teleprompter during presentations, and also offer music playback.

The glasses also integrate Motorola's and Lenovo's new Qira AI assistant, enabling features like "sub-millisecond" live translation and image recognition. Lenovo adds that users can access the Catch Me Up feature, which can display a summary of notifications from multiple devices.

The company hasn't explicitly shared details about the display used in its AI Glasses concept. However, since the company claims the glasses can display notification summaries and has shared images showing visual output, it is likely using some form of Meta Ray-Ban Display-like technology.

Beyond that, Lenovo says the smart glasses weigh just 45g for comfortable all-day wear and offer up to 8 hours of battery life on a single charge.

For now, the AI Glasses remain a proof-of-concept device, and Lenovo hasn't shared any plans to bring them to market. We will update you if the company announces anything about a commercial release.
