A new pair of connected glasses promises to revolutionize everyday life. They see, hear and remember you. And they last three times longer than Meta models.
Still no connected glasses? According to Mark Zuckerberg, you are already late. The Facebook boss says that these devices will soon be as essential as smartphones. Several companies are also there on this vision of a future where AI is directly integrated into what you see. It is in this context that new glasses compete with Meta and Ray-Ban models … by betting everything on artificial intelligence.
The startup Brilliant Labs has just presented Halo, a pair of ultra-light glasses of 40 gramswith an integrated color display, microphones, bone conduction speakers and above all … a 14-hour battery. Unlike Meta glasses centered on photos and videos, Halo focuses on AI. She has an assistant named Noa, capable of interacting in real time and memorizing what you see and hear throughout the day. The objective: to assist you at any time, without complex interaction.

Thanks to a discreet optical sensor and several microphones, Noa can analyze your environment, remind you of first names or generate applications via voice commands. A function called “Vibe Mode” even allows you to code the voice and run the applications directly in the display. The screen, housed in a small optical module placed on the frame, offers a display in retro style without compromising autonomy. The module does not bother the change of glasses, which allows you to order corrective glasses via SmartBuyglasses.
Brilliant Labs also relies on transparency: his glasses are completely open sourceboth hardware and software. The brand also ensures that audio and visual data is protected, converted into non -reversible mathematical representations, without access to third parties. Halo will be available at the end of 2025 at a price of 299 dollars, or around 275 euros, in a limited edition on the brand’s official website.
