JUL 31 – The Halo glasses feature an AI assistant, weigh just over 40 grams, and offer 14 hours of battery life, more than triple the average of similar smartglasses, Brilliant Labs said.
- Brilliant Labs launched the Halo smart glasses on a Thursday, offering $299 open-source AI glasses with shipping starting late November 2025.
- Halo succeeds the Frame smart glasses from February 2024 and integrates Noa, an AI assistant with a patent-pending agentic memory called Narrative.
- Halo glasses weigh about 40 grams, include a 0.2-inch microOLED display, bone conduction speakers, a B1 AI chip, and run up to 14 hours per charge.
- Brilliant states Noa processes unstructured audio, video, and context privately, converting rich media into irreversible mathematical forms, ensuring no third-party data access.
- Halo’s limited release and natural language app-building features suggest a focus on personalized, always-on AI assistance with strict privacy controls.
