RayNeo has unveiled a new pair of smart glasses designed to cut down how often you check your phone. The new iO Smart Glasses place a tiny MicroLED display in the upper corner of your vision, letting you glance at notifications, your schedule, and other quick information without reaching for your smartphone. A tiny display built to stay out of sight The iO uses RayNeo’s Firefly Engine Nano, a monochrome green MicroLED display compressed to 0.6 mm that reaches up to 1,300 nits. It sits inside a 33g frame with a 240mAh battery, four microphones, and a bone conduction sensor…

While CMF scrapped plans for another affordable smartphone this year as the ongoing memory crunch pushed component costs higher, the Nothing sub-brand has managed to go cheaper somewhere else. It has launched the Buds Neo, its most affordable wireless earbuds yet, and the price puts them surprisingly close to Apple’s wired EarPods. The CMF Buds Neo launch in India for ₹1,999 (~$21). For comparison, Apple still sells its USB-C EarPods for $19 in the U.S. CMF is offering a completely wireless pair of earbuds around the same general price bracket, complete with active noise cancellation, spatial audio, app controls, and…

Google just shipped a genuinely useful upgrade for Google Home, based on the voice command feature, but there’s a catch buried in the fine print.  The most recent update lets you ask for an exact light color by Kelvin values (or color temperature) and cleans up years of clunky broadcast commands. However, almost none of it works unless you’ve already opted into the early access program. So what are the actual voice command upgrades? In my opinion, color temperature control is the standout addition here. You can actually tell Gemini something like “set the living room lights to 2700 Kelvins”…

Self-driving cars have a persistent problem. When a driver’s attention drifts to a phone or a laptop, how do you pull their eyes back to the road fast enough to catch a hazard? A new study from the University of Glasgow suggests the answer might not be another beep or flashing light. It could be a small animated character that looks and points toward danger, like a person would. Adding a stronger cue closed the attention gap Researchers led by PhD candidate Thomas Goodge tested the idea using AR glasses on 48 volunteers seated in a driving simulator. Participants played…

Smart glasses are supposed to make it easier to capture moments without pulling out your phone. But when that moment happens to be the latest movie playing inside a theater, things get a little more complicated. Cinemas across the UK are considering restrictions on camera-equipped smart glasses, including Meta’s Ray-Ban, over concerns that people could use them to secretly record and pirate movies. The UK Cinema Association (UKCA), which represents cinema operators across the country, says some venues are looking at policies that would either restrict or completely prohibit camera-enabled glasses. There don’t appear to be any widespread bans among…

In the past 24 hours, the Chinese market saw the debut of three cars priced well under the $20,000 bracket, with those labels being Volkswagen, Hyundai, and MG. These were all sedans. The hatchbacks, on the other hand, cost even less. Let’s skip continents now, shall we? Walk through the historic centers of Paris, Milan, or Amsterdam, and you will quickly realize you are on a “minicar safari”. The tight, centuries-old streets are populated by a diverse ecosystem of electric micro-vehicles. From the square $6,600 Citroën Ami to the retro Microlino, these tiny battery-powered pods zip through traffic and slip…

Volkswagen has launched a new sedan in China that may raise a few eyebrows for what it offers – and what it costs. The ID. Era 5S starts at just 89,900 yuan, or around $13,400, yet it combines a plug-in hybrid powertrain with up to 160km of electric-only range. The car was officially unveiled at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show and is the second sedan in Volkswagen’s China-only ID. Era lineup. Built through the SAIC-Volkswagen joint venture, the 5S is aimed squarely at China’s increasingly competitive market for affordable new-energy vehicles. Volkswagen is chasing China’s budget EV market Price is…
