The Halliday Smartglasses with built-in projection screen were for me the most exciting annoucement of CES 2025. Now the company has launched a Kickstarter for the Halliday Glasses, already raising over 1.3Mio. USD. I backed the Halliday Glasses right away. I own the Meta Ray-Ban Glasses, but Halliday takes smartglasses to the next level with the ability to display information onto my eyes and react to information via voice or the smart ring accessory.
You can get your Halliday Glasses and more infos as well as a great review of the Halliday Prototype on Kickstarter: https://halliday.kckb.me/0356436f
While the Kickstarter just started, the company says to ship the Halliday Glasses already by the end of Q1 2025.
Halliday redefines what an AI agent can do. It doesn’t just respond to commands; it anticipates
users’ needs and offers assistance proactively. While traditional reactive AI assistants are limited
to basic tasks like setting alarms or identifying objects, Halliday’s proactive AI agent takes AI
assistance to an entirely new level. It seamlessly analyzes conversations, answers direct
questions, and offers additional insights—all without waiting for a prompt.
The proactive AI agent actively listens, understands, and processes the ongoing context of
conversations and tasks, enabling it to identify opportunities to add value intuitively. For instance,
during a meeting, it can proactively answer complex questions, summarize key discussion points,
and generate summarized meeting notes afterward. Always a step ahead, it predicts the next
logical move before you even ask, ensuring a smooth and highly effective experience.
In the blink of an eye, Halliday transforms everyday moments with powerful intelligence.
Connected to smartphones via Bluetooth, it offers a range of remarkable capabilities:
- Echo Mode: The proactive AI agent anticipates user needs and automatically provides
suggestions and answers based on context, leading to more effective conversations and
meetings. - Audio Memo: Capture and summarize audio content from meetings or conversations quickly
and accurately, allowing for efficient note-taking and recall. - Notifications & Instant Replies: Discreetly check messages and respond with quick actions,
