Editorial summaries

Brilliant Labs Halo (and Frame)

Brilliant Labs makes open-source AI smart glasses: the Frame (2024) and the newer Halo (announced July 2025). Both are open-source (hardware and SDK on GitHub; Lua on-device plus Python/Flutter), which sets them apart from the closed Meta and Humane ecosystems. The Noa assistant routes to cloud models (Perplexity, OpenAI, Whisper), and Halo licenses Liquid AI's on-device model. Pricing runs about $349 for Frame and $299 to $349 for Halo. AI substance is moderate: developer-accessible and hackable rather than the most polished.

Even G1

The Even Realities G1 is minimalist display HUD smart glasses (44g, magnesium/titanium, looking like ordinary eyeglasses) with a monochrome green waveguide display and, deliberately, no camera, speakers, or audio. It does turn-by-turn navigation, teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, and transcription well; its 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper (Perplexity/ChatGPT), placing it at the veneer end of the AI-substance spectrum: the glasses are a good display device, the 'AI' is a light add-on. Pricing is $599 base, plus $150 for prescription lenses and $100 for a sun clip; about 1.5-day battery.
