XGIMI, which burst on the scene in 2025 with several impressive projectors, has unveiled its latest high-end model called the Titan Noir Max. The new model revealed at CES 2026 has many of the bells and whistles found on professional-level projectors including a dynamic IRIS system for improved contrast, along with a new thermal system designed to boost brightness. The Titan Noir Max has a design to XGIMI's Titan model announced last year, but it's taller and a bit squarer with an elegant grille-like pattern on the front. As with other XGIMI models, it features a laser light engine and 4K video quality, though the company didn't say if it had the same big Texas Instruments 0.78-inch DMD (digital micromirror device) chip as the original Titan model. The key new feature is a dynamic IRIS system that boosts native contrast to 10,000:1 for deeper blacks and brighter highlights. At the same time, it boasts new "precision tuned optics" (ie a better lens) also designed to improve contrast and color nuance. Another key feature is a re-engineered DMD architecture that can handle "substantially higher light power densities," XGIMI says. This should allow for increased brightness, though the company didn't provide a figure in ANSI Lumens. It would be impressive if it topped the 5,000 Lumen Titan, though. Many other specs are lacking, like color accuracy in the Rec.2020 space. However, the company is promising a lot, saying that the Titan Noir Max will offer "the stability, accuracy, and reliability required for color-critical work, studio environments, and high-end installations." At the same time, it's also targeted at home enthusiasts, promising to "turn a blank wall into a cinematic event." XGIMI's Titan was only recently released for $3,999 but there's no word yet on the price or release date of the Titan Noir Max. Unlike the Horizon 20 series (which has a smaller 0.47-inch DMD chip) the Titan has received very few reviews so far, but one French projector site gave it a solid score.

Projector maker XGIMI has turned up at CES to launch its own range of AR glasses, but dont get the champagne out too soon. MemoMind is a new brand under which its AI-infused eyewear will be sold, with two distinct units arriving at some point in the near future. The company says it has leveraged its know-how in optics and engineering to produce glasses which are unobtrusively light, all the better for blending into your daily life. Fashionistas will even be overjoyed to learn the glasses ship in eight different frame styles, five different temple designs and can be worn with prescription lenses. Memo One is the companys flagship option, with dual-eye displays and integrated speakers so you can see and hear your AI assistant. The Memo Air, meanwhile, is a more stripped down model weighing just 28.9 grams which just has a single eye display. Unfortunately, the company is using microLED displays rather than waveguides, making them a far harder sell for a lot of would-be users. After all, putting something that small so close to your eye but behind your prescription means its a painful experience for short sighted folks to focus on text. As I explained in my Halliday review, this technology is no friend to the glasses wearers who would otherwise be the ideal early adopters.MemoMind LineupXGIMIThe glasses are just a vehicle for the companys AI assistant, promising translation, summarization, note-taking, reminders and contextual guidance. Unlike some of its would-be rivals, XGIMI says its platform will switch between OpenAI, Azure and (Alibabas) Qwen depending on what it thinks will offer you the best result for each task. Naturally, well need to get them in to test before passing final judgment on their qualities but, you can color us naturally hostile to those damn microLEDs until were convinced otherwise.XGIMI says the flagship Memo One will be available to pre-order soon, priced at $599, with additional models available further down the line.

Brisk It has shown off AI-enabled smart grills at CES before now, but for 2026, the company is taking its cooking tech indoors. With the Neoma multi-function countertop oven, the company offers AI features that can serve as both sous chef and nutritionist, helping you create dishes that fit your budget, diet and other lifestyle needs. The Brisk It Agentic AI can also help with meal planning and grocery orders on top of automatic cooking cycles for recipes it selects. The Neoma has a temperature range from 90 to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and cooking times of one minute up to twelve hours. This means you can do everything from baking to roasting, air frying and more. In fact, it comes with an air fry basket, baking pan, oven rack, and crumb tray. The robust steel construction, glass door and interior space should make the Neoma well-suited for most kitchens. Brisk It isnt leaving the grill game though. The company also announced the AI Hybrid Gas Grill at CES. The hybrid bit describes the dual gas and wood pellet combustion, giving users the ability to infuse wood smoke in their high-heat grilling sessions. Of course, Brisk Its AI goes to work here too, with adaptive cooking and personalized meal plans. The AI Hybrid Gas Grill will be available at retailers later this year. The Neoma AI Countertop Oven will hit Kickstarter in February before a wider retail launch. Brisk it didnt mention pricing for either model in its press materials.
