The Smart Glasses that Help Before Being Asked
Smart, subtle, and stunningly designed, Halliday is redefining the world of AI eyewear with its groundbreaking debut at CES. Blending fashion with functionality, it is the first AI glasses to feature a unique proactive AI agent and the revolutionary DigiWindow technology, a completely unnoticeable, first-of-its-kind near-eye display that beams information directly within a user’s field of vision without a lens. This state-of-the-art innovation discreetly delivers information and AI-enhanced insights directly to the user’s eyes, setting a new standard for what wearable technology can achieve.
Invisible, Undetectable Superpowers
Halliday may look like an ordinary pair of nostalgic, retro glasses, but appearances can be deceiving. Beneath its stylish, fashion-forward design lies revolutionary technology poised to redefine wearable innovation.
Developed by Ph.D. engineers from Stanford with deep expertise in advanced optics, Halliday's DigiWindow is the world's smallest and lightest near-eye display module, making invisible displays a reality. Installed on the upper-right part of the frame, the DigiWindow seamlessly projects information within the user's natural field of vision, regardless of whether they have perfect eyesight or require vision correction. Perceived as a 3.5-inch screen in the upper-right corner of the user’s view, DigiWindow delivers essential information without obstructing the user’s main field of view or requiring a lens.
Unlike traditional smart glasses that use waveguide lenses—which often suffer from issues like rainbow patterns and front light leakage—Halliday adopts a unique technological approach that offers superior display quality without encountering the typical issues. Additionally, Halliday glasses excel in outdoor visibility; with its exceptional light efficiency, the display remains clear even under the brightest sunlight, providing a stable viewing experience across all scenarios.
Invisible to onlookers, Halliday provides users with a hidden superpower to tackle life's challenges. Designed for ultimate discretion, it is primarily controlled through a sleek trackpad ring, with additional interaction options available via voice commands and a built-in frame interface. This harmonious blend of style and advanced engineering empowers users to be smarter, more capable, and always one step ahead.
Proactive AI: Assistance Before You Ask
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.
