Visit E1O (E1 Optics)

E1O (E1 Optics) is a pair of camera-free AI glasses with a display that puts information in your field of view, paired with a companion phone app that connects your services and manages the experience. It is designed to let you follow coding agent updates, review drafted email replies for approval, and see translation cues, notes, directions, teleprompter text, and workout information without stopping what you are doing.

The glasses display text and prompts drawn from connected services, while the E1O app handles integrations and configuration. Coding agent sessions run on a Mac that stays awake and connected, with the glasses used to follow supported sessions and respond. Email integration lets E1O draft replies that you review and approve or decline directly in the glasses. The product is described as a current hardware concept, with final fit, finishes, and features subject to change.

E1O is aimed at people who want AI assistance visible in their view while away from a screen, including those working with coding agents or needing translation and conversation cues. Access is currently managed through a waitlist joined with a phone number, with invitations opening gradually; no public launch date has been announced, and joining does not guarantee an invitation.
