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.

r1

The Rabbit r1 is a $199 pocket AI companion device, unveiled at CES in January 2024 and still shipping into 2026, with no subscription. Its editorial throughline is the gap between demo and product: the launch demonstration of a Large Action Model (LAM) completing agentic tasks outran what the shipping product has consistently delivered.

Rabbit has shipped software updates since launch, but consistent agentic task completion is not verified. DEPLOY classifies its maturity as pilot.
