A 307-inch cinema on your face: RayNeo's AR glasses just landed in Canada, from $429

RayNeo, the consumer AR glasses brand incubated by TCL Electronics, has launched its full lineup in Canada, the company announced Oct. 21 in Toronto. The rollout is led by the GT MAX entertainment glasses and the RayNeo iO Smart Glasses, with five models priced from $429 to $1,799 CAD, according to RayNeo.

The timing is deliberate. RayNeo ranked first globally in AR smart-glasses shipments in the first quarter of 2026, capturing a 23.7% share by shipment volume, according to Counterpoint Research's Global XR Market Tracker. Until now, Canadians who wanted the category leader mostly had to import it.

A cinema that goes where you go

The GT MAX is the flagship: a 59° field of view with a virtual screen of up to 307 inches, according to RayNeo. Native three-degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) tracking keeps the virtual screen steady as you move your head, and audio co-tuned by Bang & Olufsen adds head-tracked spatial sound, plus a Whisper Mode for more private listening on a plane or train.

The glasses weigh 78 g and come in S, M and L variants matched to interpupillary distance for a better viewing fit. They connect to a compatible device for content and power, and RayNeo sells a separate Pocket TV Pro — a portable Google TV player with Netflix and more than 10,000 apps and up to 5.5 hours of playback — that also unlocks Dolby Vision with the GT MAX, the company says.

Glasses that translate the conversation

The RayNeo iO Smart Glasses take the other path: no camera, just a discreet waveguide display in glasses that weigh 33 g and are designed to look like classic eyewear. According to RayNeo, the iO translates speech in real time across 55 languages, captures meeting notes and action items, and shows captions and translations directly in view. An LED indicator signals when recording or translation is active, and controls include a Smart Crown dial, voice commands and head gestures — including confirming a calendar suggestion from the Lifelog feature with a nod. Battery life is rated at up to two days of typical use per charge, and the glasses work with iOS and Android, though the company notes some advanced AI services may require a paid subscription.

The full Canadian lineup and prices

RayNeo's Canadian range, at MSRP in Canadian dollars, according to the company: the Air 4 Pro at $429 (1,200 nits, HDR10, AI SDR-to-HDR conversion); the GT at $479 (68 g, native 3DoF, screens up to 231 inches); the GT MAX at $629; the iO Smart Glasses at $749; and the X3 Pro at $1,799, with a binocular full-colour MicroLED display and Gemini AI.

The lineup is available online now at Staples, Walmart and Best Buy, with The Shopping Channel and other Canadian retailers coming soon, according to RayNeo. Its Canadian distribution partner is Split Second Group. "Smart glasses are moving beyond early adopters and becoming products people can use every day," Ravi Dalchand, Split Second Group's Sales and Marketing Director, said in the announcement.
