LLVision unveils Leion Hey2 AR glasses for live chat

LLVision has launched Leion Hey2 in the United States, positioning the device as professional AR translation glasses for real-time face-to-face conversation.

The company announced the product at CES 2026 in Las Vegas. LLVision said the glasses convert spoken language into subtitles displayed in the wearer's line of sight.

LLVision said Leion Hey2 supports more than 100 languages and dialects. The company said the device delivers sub-500 millisecond translation latency in real-world use. LLVision said the glasses offer six to eight hours of continuous translation on a single charge.

"This is what translation really means to us," said Dr. Wu Fei, Founder and CEO, LLVision. "It's not just about words. It's about giving people the freedom to speak, to connect, and to be truly understood."

Product focus

LLVision was founded in 2014. The company said it has worked on integrated AI and AR systems for multilingual communication.

Leion Hey2 centres on live conversation. LLVision said many smart glasses treat translation as an additional function. The company said Hey2 makes translation the core feature.

LLVision said subtitles appear through an optical AR head-up display. The company said users do not need to hold a phone or pass a device between speakers. LLVision said subtitles sit in the forward line of sight during conversation.

The company described the optics as waveguide-based with a micro-LED light engine. LLVision said this approach keeps text stable across different lighting conditions.

LLVision also framed the subtitles feature as real-time captioning for Deaf and hard-of-hearing users. The company said this use case does not require separate tools.

Audio design

LLVision said Leion Hey2 includes a Free Talk mode. The company said the glasses prioritise speech from the person the wearer faces. LLVision said voices within an approximately 60 degree forward range are emphasised, while side conversations and ambient noise are reduced.

The company said the device uses a four-microphone array and 360 degree spatial voice detection. LLVision said the system identifies the active speaker's direction before processing begins. The company said it applies beamforming and neural noise reduction during processing.

AI feature

Beyond translation, LLVision said the glasses include an optional AI Q&A feature for contextual look-ups. The company described an interaction that uses the right touchpad, spoken questions, and an on-screen response. LLVision said the feature does not require manual text input or a phone.

Hardware and privacy

LLVision said the glasses weigh 49 grams. The company said it used a magnesium-lithium alloy frame and titanium nose pads. LLVision described the styling as a classic browline silhouette.

LLVision said the device has no camera and no external speakers. The company said audio input is used only for translation.

LLVision said data processing follows GDPR-aligned privacy principles. The company said it uses secure cloud infrastructure built on Microsoft Azure. LLVision said users can review, manage, or delete translation history.

Use cases

LLVision said Leion Hey2 has already appeared in international settings. The company said it was demonstrated at the United Nations Accessibility for All Exhibition in Geneva in 2025. LLVision also said it supported multilingual communication at diplomatic and international forums, and it took part in large-scale live trials.

LLVision said its CEO delivered a two-hour presentation entirely through the glasses during those trials.

The company also pointed to accessibility research. LLVision said it served as an industry partner on a project recognised by the AIS Impact Award 2025 for improving communication access for Deaf and hard-of-hearing communities.

LLVision said the first-generation Leion Hey shipped more than 30,000 units worldwide. The company said users averaged 150 minutes of daily use. LLVision also said the first-generation device was recognised among the UNESCO Netexplo Innovation Award Top 10.

LLVision said Hey2's unveiling in Seoul led to more than 10,000 pre-orders within a single day.

Pricing

LLVision priced Leion Hey2 at USD $549 in the United States through its online store. The company also set a pre-order price of USD $499 for a limited period. LLVision said pre-orders include a clip-on sunglass lens and 1,200 minutes of Pro translation service.

LLVision said it plans to sell Leion Hey2 in the United States through its official online store.
