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.
Xiaomi AI Glasses
Xiaomi AI Glasses, by Xiaomi Corporation, are camera-and-audio AI glasses with no display, positioned as a direct Ray-Ban Meta competitor and built around the XiaoAI voice assistant. Launched at Xiaomi's Human x Car x Home event on June 26, 2025 (China-only), they carry a 12-megapixel camera with 2K 30fps stabilized video, a Qualcomm AR1 chip, and about 8.6 hours of battery (45-minute recharge), priced from 1,999 yuan (roughly $278) for the base model up to 2,999 yuan (roughly $417) for the color-electrochromic version, with voice capture, object recognition, translation, and QR and visual-scan contactless payment. DEPLOY records commercial mass-market maturity: 50,000 units sold in the first three days and the lead in China's AI-glasses share at 31.9 percent in 2025, ahead of Rokid and Alibaba. The AI is primary and genuine (XiaoAI), though cloud-dependent rather than on-device. Two cap-flags: pricing is China-market CNY (USD figures are conversions), and forward sales targets (such as five million units by 2027) are projections, not verified sales. Recorded under a Xiaomi Corporation consumer entity distinct from the Xiaomi Robotics division that makes the CyberOne humanoid.
