Gizmodo Japan ( https://www.gizmodo.jp/ operated by Mediagene Inc., a group company of TNL Mediagene ), will begin crowdfunding for the smart glasses StarV Air2 (StarV Air2) as its second project from 9:00 PM on Thursday, January 15, 2026.
StarV Air2 is a pair of AI and AR smart glasses equipped with a display that can overlay information onto the wearer's field of vision. By connecting to a smartphone, users can visually receive information such as translation, navigation, and AI assistants without using their hands
These smart glasses, developed by MEIZU (a member of the Geely Group), feature thin waveguide lenses. Despite their lightweight design of approximately 44g, they display 640 x 480 pixels in both the left and right fields of view, with a maximum peak brightness of 2,000 nits, ensuring excellent visibility even in outdoor environments
It also comes equipped with features that allow you to access information without interfering with your daily activities, such as real-time translation (subtitle display and voice interpretation), conversation notes (transcription, recording and summarization), a voice-activated AI chatbot, notification display, navigation, teleprompter and music playback
These functions can be set up and used through the dedicated app "MYVU."
