How Do You Use a Smart-Glasses Teleprompter at a Trade Show?

On RayNeo iO, a trade show teleprompter comes down to four moves: prepare the script in the RayNeo AI App, send it to the glasses with Play on Glasses, choose the scroll mode that suits each slot, and steer it with the Smart Crown on the right temple. The script lives directly on your lenses, so you read the pitch while keeping eye contact with visitors instead of looking down at notes or a monitor.

Four pieces of iO's teleprompter, set up for a show day

iO's teleprompter runs on four pieces, and each one has a simple show-day setting.

The Bluetooth and MFi details are in our iO compatibility guide.

What to set up at home or in the hotel

First activation happens on the charging clip: connected to a power source, the glasses activate automatically. Setup then takes three steps in the RayNeo AI App: install the app, sign in to or register a RayNeo account, and pair the glasses over Bluetooth from the Glasses tab. Doing all of it at home or in the hotel keeps the booth free for talking.

After the first pairing, there is no need to pair the glasses again each time you use them. With Bluetooth on and the RayNeo AI App running, unfolding the temples reconnects the glasses automatically.

Scripts benefit from the same early start. Imports keep the text, with formatting removed and images filtered out. Scripts are sorted by update time, and a swipe to the right pins one, which keeps the booth version at the top. More on script setup is in our walkthrough of iO's captions, meeting notes and teleprompter.

Display fit belongs in the same session. Tapping Adjust in the Glasses tab sets the display height and the near/far effect, and the included nose pad kit comes with bridges in multiple sizes, so swapping to the right one aligns your eyes for a complete, clear view of the display.

Smart Follow, Auto Scroll, or Manual Control on a busy floor

iO's three teleprompting modes let you match pacing to each slot on the show schedule.

• Smart Follow uses voice tracking to sync the scrolling text with your natural speaking rhythm and advance as you speak. It suits a scheduled talk, a press interview, or a briefing room off the floor.
• Auto Scroll moves the script at a speed you choose. It suits a timed demo or a pitch you have delivered many times.
• Manual Control hands pacing to you. A single click of the Smart Crown plays or pauses, and rotating it scrolls, so you can hold on one line while a visitor asks a question and then pick up where you stopped.

Rehearsing each pitch in all three modes the night before means each slot already has its mode when the doors open.

iO also offers presets for Video, Voiceover, Speech, and Default, plus adjustable display distance, screen size, display height, text size, text width, line spacing, and display depth. The display itself reaches 1300 nits eye-level brightness, and brightness can be adjusted by voice through RayNeo AI. Teleprompter settings stay inside the teleprompter, so a larger booth font will not change how notifications or captions look later.

Starting and steering the script at the booth

Once the doors open, starting and steering the script takes a few clicks.

1. Send it from the phone. Open the script preview in the RayNeo AI App and tap Play on Glasses.
2. Or open it on the glasses. Open Teleprompter with the Smart Crown or by voice command, then select the script.
3. Start the countdown. Keep the glasses still, single-click the Smart Crown, and wait for the countdown.
4. Steer during the pitch. Single-click the Smart Crown to play or pause and rotate it to scroll. Control from the phone stays synchronized in real time, so a colleague at the counter can step in.
5. Keep the display on the script. Focus Mode mutes proactively pushed notifications, RayNeo Suggestions, and reminders. It switches on from the RayNeo App, the App List on the glasses, or by voice, and a recurring schedule can cover the show hours.

Battery and charging

iO is rated for up to two days of everyday use from its 240mAh battery, with 63 hours of standby while worn. When the glasses are not in use, folding the temples and setting them down gives the best standby time. A feature-by-feature look at power draw is in our iO battery life breakdown.

iO charges in two ways:

• The charging clip comes in the box. It is ultra-light, charges through USB-C, and attaches to the nose bridge.
• The RayNeo iO Eyewear Charging Case, $69 on its own or part of the $549 Charging Case Bundle, charges the glasses when you place them inside and offers a more convenient charging solution when traveling or away from a power source. Its built-in 2000mAh battery delivers up to five full charges, and the RayNeo AI App shows the remaining battery of both the glasses and the case.

Where RayNeo X3 Pro fits for exhibitors

RayNeo X3 Pro takes a different route. It is a standalone AI+AR platform with its own processor, storage, operating system (RayNeo AIOS), Wi-Fi, and battery. Google Gemini is built in, so you can ask questions by voice and see the answers in your field of view, and a teleprompter is one of its built-in tools alongside navigation, a music player, and the camera. Its full-color display reaches 3,500 nits average and 6,000 nits peak brightness, and it responds to five-dimensional temple touch controls, voice, or a phone used as an air mouse.

iO's ultra-light 33g design keeps it comfortable for all-day wear, which suits long shifts at the booth. X3 Pro suits exhibitors who also want navigation, Gemini answers, and capture on the same pair.

Choosing your setup for the next show

For a booth pitch, RayNeo iO ($499) puts the whole routine in a 33g frame: scripts prepared on your phone, Bluetooth to the glasses, the Smart Crown in hand, and a scroll mode matched to every slot on the schedule. For pitch wording, see our trade show talking-points guide. Exhibitors who want one standalone device for prompting, navigation, and capture can look at X3 Pro.
