The Ideal AI Glasses Livis represent a natural extension of Ideal’s smart experience—from the in-car environment to all-day, round-the-clock companionship for users in their everyday lives. Fan Haoyu, Senior Vice President of Product at Li Auto, stated: “Building on our technological expertise in areas such as advanced driver-assistance systems, spatial intelligence, and the AI-powered ‘Ideal Classmate,’ Li Auto has been continuously exploring innovative smart-device forms that can naturally and seamlessly accompany users throughout their day. Given that glasses are worn for long periods each day, positioned close to the eyes, ears, and mouth, and don’t require users to change their habits, they represent the most intuitive and natural interaction interface available today. Thus, the Ideal AI Glasses Livis have become the perfect vehicle for Li Auto to bring its smart experience beyond the car—and also mark the first ‘physical embodiment’ of Li Auto’s long-term accumulated large-scale AI model capabilities, blossoming in out-of-car spatial interactions.”
In product design, Ideal addresses the industry’s perennial triangular dilemma—balancing weight, battery life, and performance—by starting from users’ real-world needs. We’ve reduced the frame weight to an astonishingly low 36 grams while simultaneously optimizing battery life and performance, enabling all-day comfortable wear without any burden. The Ideal AI Glasses Livis are not only a heartfelt tribute to Ideal car owners but also a delightful surprise for all friends who love technology and innovation.

 

 

The ideal AI glasses, Livis, represent a natural extension of the Li Auto user experience. When driving, wearing the sunglasses-style version allows users to clearly view HUD information and seamlessly use Face ID. With voice commands via “Li Auto Companion,” users can effortlessly control functions such as turning on the air conditioning, heating the steering wheel, and operating the tailgate—all with just a single sentence—covering a wide range of everyday driving scenarios and delivering a more direct and convenient user experience. The glasses and the vehicle’s infotainment system achieve truly seamless integration: simply touch the touchpad upon entering the car to complete the initial pairing, after which the connection is automatic and completely seamless throughout the entire journey. In the future, the driver will be able to independently listen to navigation and advanced driver-assistance system announcements through the glasses without interfering with the rear-seat entertainment experience. Additionally, the glasses can integrate with the vehicle’s “Task Master” feature, automatically routing front-seat audio to the glasses during movie-viewing sessions (this feature is scheduled to launch in March 2026; details are subject to system updates). The wirelessly charging glasses case, standard across the entire lineup, can be conveniently placed in the car for anytime recharging, completely eliminating battery anxiety. Featuring a portable design that requires neither lens replacement nor cable connections, these glasses are ready to use right out of the box, balancing practicality with aesthetic appeal.

 

 

The ideal AI glasses, Livis, are designed for all-day wear, combining lightweight comfort with cutting-edge technological aesthetics. The frame weighs as little as 36 grams and is crafted from Swiss EMS Aymans medical-grade TR90 ultra-light material, delivering the world’s lightest wearing experience—so comfortable that you’ll hardly feel them even after prolonged use. In terms of design, Livis features subtle refinements to the brow and nose bridge curves based on the classic frame style, further enhancing facial contours. The semi-transparent frame reveals a faintly visible internal structure, highlighting its futuristic technological appeal. Paired with automotive-grade G3 curved design, the overall lines are smoother and the texture more pronounced.
Based on data from over 50,000 Chinese head shapes, Livis has systematically optimized wearing comfort. The silicone nose pads are freely adjustable, making the glasses suitable for a wider range of users. The titanium alloy hinges have each undergone 10,000 opening and closing tests, ensuring durability and reliability. Additionally, the glasses feature IP54-rated dust and water resistance, easily handling everyday rain and dust. In terms of heat dissipation, an intelligent temperature-control algorithm is employed, positioning the main heat-generating components toward the exterior while incorporating 2177mm² of graphite thermal material within a limited space. This ensures that the glasses maintain a comfortable temperature, with no noticeable warming sensation even during prolonged wear. Livis frames are available in two finishes: glossy semi-transparent and matte frosted, and come in three color options—classic black, tech gray, and olive green—balancing both fashion and technological aesthetics. As for battery life, Livis delivers outstanding performance as well. Under simulated daily usage conditions, the glasses can operate continuously for 18.8 hours, providing worry-free endurance from morning until night; in standby mode, the battery lasts up to 78 hours. Every model comes standard with a charging case that can fully recharge the glasses four times, ensuring you’re always ready to go.

 

 

The Ideal AI glasses, the Livis series, come standard with high-quality ZEISS lenses, offering a range of options including plano lenses, anti-blue-light lenses, photochromic lenses, and prescription lenses for nearsightedness and farsightedness—perfectly tailored to meet both everyday wear and driving needs. Through its strategic partnership with ZEISS, Ideal provides users with premium optical eyewear, making a high-end experience accessible to all. The two companies have also joined forces to create an exceptional online eyewear fitting service: users simply upload their prescription, and can have their glasses ready and shipped as early as the same day. This collaboration extends beyond the domestic Chinese market to encompass the global stage, with both parties jointly developing next-generation smart eyewear optical technologies.

 

 

The ideal AI glasses, Livis, are also an excellent camera. Equipped with a first-person perspective camera, they free your hands, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the present moment. Livis features a 12-megapixel lens that supports a super-wide 105° field of view and comes with advanced features such as EIS electronic image stabilization and automatic horizon correction, ensuring that what you see is exactly what you capture. The biggest advantage of a first-person perspective camera is its speed—pressing the shutter button takes just 0.7 seconds to complete the shot, so you’ll never miss a single precious moment. The Live Photo function brings still images to life by capturing about three seconds of dynamic footage before and after each photo, making your life memories even more vivid and three-dimensional. Thanks to the AI portrait texture algorithm, the camera optimizes fine details while preserving skin textures and facial features, faithfully reproducing natural beauty.
First-person video recording with seamless operation—whether it’s your child’s first steps, a friend’s get-together, or breathtaking travel scenery, you can effortlessly capture it all. The videos boast bright, vivid colors and distinct layers, and come with multiple aspect-ratio options (3:4, 4:3, 16:9, 9:16) to meet your social-sharing needs. Each recording session can last up to 3 minutes, with a total recording capacity of 41 minutes, ensuring that every precious moment is preserved at any time. The LiDAR AI glasses, Livis, are equipped with open-space audio technology tuned by Li Auto’s Acoustics Lab, delivering a 360-degree immersive sound field that makes the wearer feel as if they’re right there at the scene. Featuring industry-first symmetrical dual-magnetic-circuit sandwich speakers paired with the same high-performance power amplifier from Cirrus Logic used by Apple, these speakers ensure crystal-clear sound that enters the ear precisely while effectively minimizing sound leakage, guaranteeing a private yet natural listening experience. The bass compensation feature enhances low-frequency sounds such as drums and cellos even at low volumes, enriching musical details and intensifying the sense of on-site atmosphere.
Four microphones provide omnidirectional stereo recording, paired with a noise-canceling algorithm that effectively suppresses ambient noise and precisely captures human voices. The 360° omnidirectional recording accurately captures speech within a 3-meter range and supports left- and right-channel reproduction, precisely pinpointing the location of each speaker. Combined with AI-powered speech-to-text conversion and to-do list extraction features, this device enables efficient post-meeting reviews, effortless knowledge retention, and seamless capture of key information—whether you're in a meeting, studying, or creating. The Ideal AI Glasses Livis feature deep integration with NetEase Cloud Music, offering native music playback and voice control capabilities, and are compatible with both iOS and Android platforms for flexible song switching. The Bluetooth 5.4 protocol ensures rapid pairing and seamless switching between devices, while the multi-channel Bluetooth protocol guarantees that, no matter which device is connected, the Ideal student’s voice interactions always originate from the glasses themselves, safeguarding communication privacy.

 

 

The ideal AI glasses, Livis, come equipped with the newly upgraded Ideal Companion, which is powered by our self-developed MindGPT-4o multimodal large model—making it a true AI assistant. Ideal Companion has already served nearly 1.5 million car owners, executing hundreds of millions of commands and engaging in deep, meaningful conversations. Backed by real-world validation, it has grown into a reliable and intelligent companion. In terms of response speed, Ideal Companion can be activated in just 300 milliseconds and completes end-to-end execution within 800 milliseconds, ensuring that every user interaction is responded to swiftly. In daily life, Ideal Companion is a warm, memory-equipped partner that truly understands you. Thanks to its multi-modal memory capabilities, each interaction makes it better attuned to your needs, enabling it to offer proactive and personalized advice in everyday communication—and achieving the remarkable effect of “the more you use it, the better it gets to know you.”
In the workplace, Ideal Classmate is a thoughtful little secretary that can record important information and to-do items via voice or photos. It also supports transcription and analysis of meeting recordings, making information acquisition and management more efficient and natural. Ideal Classmate is also an all-around expert—thanks to its powerful multimodal perception capabilities, it can answer virtually any question. With precise visual question-answering and multimodal task planning, it covers a wide range of queries—from encyclopedic information and daily life tips to travel and entertainment. These glasses not only serve as an entry point for accessing information but also become a powerful partner, helping users engage in deeper, more insightful thinking. By integrating data captured through photos or recordings, Ideal Classmate can generate high-quality, authoritative analysis reports, empowering users to make more effective decisions.

 

 

The independently developed embedded operating system, Livis OS, is specially designed for AI glasses. It optimizes the end-to-end link and comprehensively reduces power consumption. The system adopts a no-shutdown strategy, keeping it constantly ready in the background for lightning-fast response. Whether you’re taking photos, recording audio, playing music, or engaging in multi-modal interactions with “Ideal Classmate,” the system intelligently schedules resources to ensure smooth and seamless operation. Having undergone verification through millions of mass-produced vehicles, Livis OS boasts both stability and cross-device compatibility, seamlessly integrating with both iOS and Android systems to deliver a reliable and natural user experience.
Built upon Li Auto’s mature, integrated software-and-hardware R&D architecture, the Li Auto AI Glasses Livis boast an ultra-lightweight design weighing just 36 grams, a remarkable 18.8-hour battery life for daily use, and a supremely comfortable wearing experience. The entire series comes standard with high-quality Zeiss lenses, enabling truly effortless all-day wear. At the same time, by combining cutting-edge technologies such as first-person perspective lightning capture, open-space audio, the AI-powered “Li Auto Companion,” and the newly developed Livis OS system, the Livis strikes the perfect balance between performance and AI-driven user experience. The Li Auto AI Glasses Livis are not only the ideal AI sunglasses for driving but also a smart companion for both work and daily life. Whether inside or outside the vehicle, whether in everyday routines or at work, the AI-powered “Li Auto Companion” is always by your side, continuously evolving and creating more wonderful memories for even more users.
