TCL-backed RayNeo has just announced its new flagship RayNeo GT series AR glasses. Headlined by the premium RayNeo GT Max, the lineup brings the widest field of view in consumer AR glasses, the first-ever Dolby Vision support, and a collaboration with Bang & Olufsen for spatial audio.

The magic number here is 59 degrees. That’s the GT Max’s field of view, and RayNeo says it’s one of the largest available in consumer-grade AR glasses right now. 

For comparison, most AR glasses sit at 45 degrees. RayNeo claims the jump translates to roughly 86% more display area. The company describes the experience as a “267-inch giant screen six meters away,” which puts it in the same conversation as an IMAX theater. 

RayNeo GT Max has a new optical engine, a dual-layer Micro OLED panel

To pull that off, RayNeo built a new optical engine called the Peacock Optical Engine 3.0 Max. It uses a prism light module and multi-layer reflection technology, and somehow manages to cut overall thickness by 29% despite the complexity. Although RayNeo says manufacturing time for a single optical module jumped 60%, and costs more than doubled. 

The display itself is a 5.5-generation Micro OLED panel with a dual-layer design for better brightness, color, and contrast. RayNeo worked with TCL’s picture quality lab to tune the image and has introduced a “Pure Cinema Mode” to preserve what creators originally intended rather than pumping up saturation.

Then there’s the Dolby Vision partnership. The GT Max is, officially, the world’s first AR glasses to support Dolby Vision. You’ll need RayNeo’s new Magic Box 2 Dolby Vision Edition to play Dolby Vision content, but the pipeline is there. RayNeo has also locked in partnerships with Youku, Tencent Video, iQIYI, and Bilibili for content access.

Under the hood, the GT Max runs two dedicated chips: the Vision 4000 for image processing and the Zone 360 for spatial calculation. Together, they enable three display modes — follow mode, spatial fixation mode, and image stabilization — covering everything from watching movies on the couch to staying focused on a screen while riding a train.

Audio gets a serious upgrade, too. RayNeo fitted the GT Max with custom racetrack-shaped speakers, 38% larger than standard units, with a six-magnetic-circuit setup. Bang & Olufsen handles the tuning, and head-tracking spatial audio means the sound shifts with the image’s position in space. 

At 78 grams, the GT Max is not the lightest thing you’ll put on your face, but RayNeo did spend six months trimming it down from an 89-gram prototype. It uses nylon, magnesium-aluminum alloy, and powder metallurgy hinges to keep things manageable. It also supports prescription lenses, up to 1000 degrees of myopia and 800 degrees of hyperopia, and comes in S, M, and L sizes.

For those who don’t need the full flagship experience, RayNeo also launched the standard GT: a lighter 68-gram model with a 46-degree FOV that retains the dual-chip setup and spatial modes.

Price and Availability

Pricing starts at 2,599 yuan (around $385) for the GT Max. The GT comes in at 1,899 yuan (around $280). The Magic Box 2 Dolby Vision Edition is priced separately at 999 yuan (around $150). Pre-orders are open now, with first deliveries scheduled for May 30th.

Chinese consumer AR brand RayNeo has announced a new line of flagship augmented reality glasses called the GT series. The first device in the series is called RayNeo GT Max.

Unlike the company’s existing Air lineup, which targets lightweight everyday use, the new GT series is a more premium option focused on what the company describes as a “professional film and television-grade” viewing experience.

The new products will officially launch on May 27 alongside an event at the TCL Chinese Theatre. 

What is the RayNeo GT series all about?

The biggest upgrade in the new lineup is the display system. Most AR glasses designed for movie viewing usually offer a field of view of around 45 degrees, but the new RayNeo GT Max reportedly increases that to 59 degrees. 

The company says the glasses use its self-developed Peacock Optical Engine 3.0 Max, along with a new hybrid prism light module, to create a virtual viewing experience similar to watching a 267-inch screen from six meters away.

The GT series will also introduce a new generation Micro-OLED display and a dedicated image quality chip called the Vision 4000. According to the company, the chip is designed to improve color accuracy and image processing for video playback.

RayNeo is also partnering with Dolby Laboratories for the new lineup. When paired with the RayNeo Magic Box 2 Dolby Vision Edition, the GT series is claimed to become the first AR glasses kit capable of supporting Dolby Vision playback. The company says this setup is intended to deliver cinema-style contrast and lighting performance.

The glasses will also bring a new dual-core system architecture. Alongside the image processing chip, the GT series includes a custom spatial computing chip called Zone 360. This processor enables native 3DoF spatial hovering and supports different viewing modes, including follow mode, fixed mode, and image stabilization. 

For audio, RayNeo is working with Danish audio company Bang & Olufsen to tune the sound system. The GT series includes a quad-speaker setup with built-in spatial audio and 360-degree head tracking. 

Despite adding a wider field of view, spatial audio, and dual-chip architecture, the RayNeo GT Max weighs 78 grams.

Alongside the GT series, RayNeo is also expected to introduce its next-generation AI-powered shooting glasses, called the V4, during the same launch event later this month.
