Halliday's AI-equipped smart glasses offer a way to view information discreetly, by hiding a tiny screen that only the wearer can see.

One of the common issues with smart glasses is that they are fairly obvious, using a lens or a protruding element that gives the game away to onlookers. Halliday, meanwhile, are doing the same thing with its that makes it as discreet as possible.

Referred to as a DigiWindow, a small dot in the top right part of the frame projects information inside the user's natural field of vision. The effect is a perceived 3.5-inch screen in the user's upper right corner of their vision, without obstructing their main view.

There are no lenses or waveguides visible on the retro-styled glasses. Even control is relatively discreet, with it having a trackpad ring alongside voice commands and a frame interface.

It's also lightweight for smartglasses at 35 grams, while also offering up to 8 hours of continuous use.

There's also a proactive AI agent handling what information is displayed to the user. Connecting to a smartphone using Bluetooth, it can analyze conversations and answer questions and queries without needing a trigger prompt.

This includes suggestions based on the context of the moment, capturing and summarizing audio memos, checking for messages and notifications, real-time translations, and navigation help. It also has a teleprompter and cheat-sheet function for meetings.

Expected to ship by the end of Q1 2025, Halliday will cost from $399 to $499.
