Halliday AI glasses are the most hidden smart glasses so far

The idea of ​​wisdom glasses (a glasses that can be performed directly on our faces) have existed for several years, but in 2025, it seems that the category of the product is truly accelerating. At the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) trade exhibition held at Las Vegas this month, smart glasses became stars at the exhibition, and the old and new brands showed their vision for smart glasses.

Most smart glasses use so -called waveguide technology to project visual images in front of the wearer. I have used this technology to test some products before. Although this technology has an unnamed sense of future, reality is that waveguide technology needs to build a prism in the lens, which will distort my visual effect. The most important thing is that even if the display is not opened, others can see the prism (see the wisdom glasses of Rayneo below).

Therefore, a brand named Halliday decides to try another route: Hallday AI glasses are still projecting the visual effect on the front of the user's face, but the display is installed on the inside of the frame (facing the side of the wearer's face), and the right eye above. This means that to see the screen, the wearer must look up slightly. The visual effect of the projection will be on the black frame of the glasses, not the “in the real world” like other waveguide glasses, but Hali thinks this is a kind of More practical ways.

First of all, the display becomes more hidden -others can't see the screen at all, unless they make very unusual actions, hang the mouse on top of your head, and look at your face from a few inches away. In fact, the display is not embedded on the lens, which also makes the field of view exempt from any prism's impact. If the lens is damaged, it can make the replacement lens easier and cheaper.

In the past week, I have been trying the prototype version of Halidi glasses. I really like this idea. In fact, I like I need to look up at the screen, so that it will not appear to be scattered in front of me. I also like this alternative screen technology, making Halliday glasses lighter and thinner (35 grams) than most other smart glasses. Because waveguide technology requires space in the frame, it may look bulky.

I still think that Halliday AI glasses are slightly larger than ordinary glasses, but it is not as big as it will attract attention. I wore this pair of glasses in public and did not cause the acquaintances (friends will obviously ask because I usually do not wear glasses).

Halliday needs skilled engineering technology to create such a low -key display: it is a miniature module with a size of only 3.5 mm. But although the display is very small, the visual effects of the projected are very, very bright (even outdoors, I don't need to be more than 10%of the brightness), the visual effect projected on my eyes is about 3.5 inches.

This glasses really need to be packed with smart phones to operate. Halliday designed a carefully designed application for the iPhone and Android devices. After pairing, the glasses will use your smartphone data. You can control the glasses through the touch screen on the right arm of the glasses or the controller ring attached to the HALLIDAY.

But the several artificial intelligence assistants you use will be Halliday's own, not Apple's Siri or Google's Assistant. Halliday's AI agent runs a large language multi -modal AI, and has been optimized by the company to run on glasses. It can complete basic digital assistant tasks, such as answering questions and live interpretation, but it can obviously become smarter -as an active artificial intelligence agent, it can play a role in your daily interaction.

Honestly, I don't want artificial intelligence to be monitoring, so I closed the active function (in addition, it is not fully ready for real testing). But the effect of reactive artificial intelligence is very good. I can ask the glasses to change the currency. I can see the results on the display within one to two seconds, which is much faster than other artificial intelligence glasses I tested.

The translation effect is basically good: I have a friend who speaks Spanish, glasses can pick up audio, and then project English in front of my eyes. It is delayed about 1-2 seconds, so the speaker needs to stop occasionally or slower the speed than usual. I don't think this can be used to explain the entire meeting or dinner conversation, but it is enough to help me order meals or guide taxis drivers in a foreign country.

Honestly, I really don't need a wise glasses to surpass the answer and show me the scope of notification. I don't need it to give me suggestions. I don't need to wear glasses to watch foreign movies without subtitles. I just want to let the glasses guide me to a address, or tell me what is 5,000 yen to be converted into a US dollar, or tell me that I just received an emergency email -these trivial matter allowed me Just take out your phone. Halliday artificial intelligence glasses can achieve this.

Unfortunately, the product has not been released immediately, but crowdfunding on Kickstarter. However, the price of this glasses on the website was $ 399, which has received more than 1.3 million support. Harrydi promised this glasses to ship in April.
