Editorial summaries
Halliday (DigiWindow)
The Halliday glasses are display-first AI glasses built around DigiWindow: a roughly 3.5mm MicroLED projector on the inside of the upper-right rim that beams a monochrome green ~3.5-inch virtual display above the eyeline (a projection, not a lens waveguide), in ~35-gram conventional frames with no front camera, a touchpad, and an optional ring controller. Features include real-time translation (40 languages, demoed), notifications, navigation, a 'Cheat Sheet' teleprompter, and a 'proactive AI' Echo Mode. DEPLOY records it at pilot maturity: it launched via Kickstarter ($369 backer price, $489 retail) rather than full retail shipping. Its differentiator is the eye-projected display plus proactive AI, not eye-tracking (no eye-tracking is on record), and it has no camera. Cap-flag: the AI features and translation are demonstrated, and the ~8-hour battery is a vendor claim; verified shipping at scale is not yet established.
RayNeo V3
The RayNeo V3 (from RayNeo, TCL's AR glasses subsidiary) is a camera-and-audio AI glasses product with no display, in the Ray-Ban Meta class: 39 grams, a 12-megapixel TCL co-developed camera (1080p/30fps), and 32GB of storage. It went on sale in China in January 2025 at 1,799 yuan, roughly $249. Its AI is genuine: a customized multimodal large language model via an Alibaba Tongyi Qianwen partnership, with three years of free AI updates, placing it in the genuine-cloud-AI tier. Two cap-flags: pricing is China-market CNY (the USD figure is a conversion, and it is not officially sold outside China), and the vendor's performance numbers (a 1.3-second response time and 98 percent accuracy) are RayNeo-stated, not independently verified. It is the TCL/RayNeo parallel to Xiaomi AI Glasses and Baidu's Xiaodu in the Chinese consumer wearable-AI cohort.
