What's difference between INMO Air3 and Meta Ray-ban Display Glasses

Compare the detail parameters of those two products -> Specification

Display: Immersion vs Information

INMO Air3 adopts a binocular display (images projected to both eyes), 1080P resolution (world’s first all-in-one waveguide AR glasses with 1920×1080), 36° wide field of view, and 62 high PPD.

Meta Ray-Ban Display uses a single-lens monocular display: it focuses on utility (small screen for notifications/navigation/translation), and can’t match the large-screen, dual-eye immersive experience at all.

Verdict: For media enjoyment, AR app use, or any scenario needing immersive, high-quality visuals, INMO Air3 is the only choice—Meta Ray-Ban Display simply can’t match its immersive performance or large-screen advantage.

Performance & Software: Open vs Closed Ecosystem

INMO Air3 with a powerful Snapdragon chip, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, and full Android 14, it supports installing most Android apps through Google Play. This is a huge advantage for power users who want flexibility.

Meta Ray-Ban Display runs on a specialized, efficiency-focused platform. Its meager 2GB RAM and 32GB storage aren’t for apps (only on-device AI processing), and it’s locked into deep integration with Meta’s services (WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger) with no room for customization.

Verdict: Want an open platform to freely use apps, tweak settings, or unlock full functionality? INMO Air3 is in a league of its own—Meta can’t match its flexibility, storage, or app support.

AI Capabilities: Open & Custom vs Live AI

INMO Air3 quickly access a powerful voice assistant with a simple command. Get instant answers and support for your questions, all without lifting a finger.

Beyond simply providing instant answers and hands-free support across virtually any app you install, INMO empowers you with true control. Its INMO no-code AI Agent platform, built on the flexibility of open-source n8n, allows you to customize, develop, and import AI Agents tailored precisely to your needs. This means an AI that evolves with you, offering unparalleled personalization and an open gateway to your entire digital world on your terms.

While Meta Ray-Ban boasts a "Live AI" that delivers strong real-time contextual awareness and smart responses, its power is primarily confined to Meta's proprietary ecosystem. This deeply integrated intelligence shines within Meta's own applications and services, but notably remains largely closed off to external platforms and the broader app marketplace, limiting its universal utility outside of the Meta sphere.

Interaction: Multi-ways vs Neural Wristband

INMO Air3 provides a practical and seamless interaction suite today. Its Spatial Interaction Ring offers precise, private input without gestures. Combined with temple touch and voice, it delivers a natural and intuitive control system that feels like an extension of your hand.

Spatial Interaction Ring: Delivers precise, private control without complex gestures—pinch to select, swipe to navigate, feeling like an extension of your hand for natural spatial operations.
Temple Touch: Tap or slide the glasses’ temples to adjust volume, switch apps, or pause media—no extra accessories needed for quick, one-hand tweaks.
Voice Commands: Hands-free control for scenarios like cooking or walking (e.g., “open navigation” or “take a photo”)—integrates smoothly with daily routines.
Touchpad: Familiar, Intutive control.
Hand band: Hand tracking (beta)
More ways to input: bluetooth keyboard and so on

Meta Ray-Ban Display relies mainly on voice commands and introduces an optional neural wristband (EMG) for subtle finger-control. While innovative, the wristband is still an emerging accessory—it’s an extra device to purchase, wear, and charge. Its gesture-based input can also be less discreet in public.

Verdict: INMO covers every use case with redundant, intuitive options—no matter the situation, you’ll always have a convenient way to control the glasses.

Design

Meta Ray-Ban Display wins on classic aesthetics and weight (~70g). A more socially discreet option. The photochromic lenses that auto-darken are a fantastic practical feature.

INMO Air3 is a little heavier (~135g) . Co-developed with Essilor, it integrates a protective layer, waveguide lens, and myopia lens into one. INMO ingeniously places its camera centrally, between the pupils, mirroring natural human perspective.
