Halliday's differentiator in DEPLOY's wearable cohort is the eye-projected DigiWindow display plus a proactive AI (Echo Mode), in camera-free conventional frames, distinct from the camera-and-audio glasses (Meta, Xiaomi) and the capture recorders (Plaud, Omi).
✔
The DigiWindow hardware is real: a ~3.5mm MicroLED projector beams a monochrome green virtual display above the eyeline (a projection, not a lens waveguide), and real-time translation across 40 languages was demonstrated.
The range above is verified: $369 at the Kickstarter backer price and $489 at retail. DEPLOY records pilot maturity because the product launched via Kickstarter rather than full retail shipping; treat it as preorder.

Halliday launched via Kickstarter and is at pilot maturity (preorder), not established full-retail shipping. Verified shipping at scale is not yet on record.
Real-world status
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. 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-flags: DEPLOY records pilot maturity (Kickstarter-launched, preorder), not established full-retail shipping; the AI features and translation are demonstrated, the ~8-hour battery is a vendor claim, and the differentiator is the eye-projected display plus proactive AI, NOT eye-tracking (none is on record).
💡
The no-camera design is a deliberate privacy posture: input is a touchpad plus an optional ring controller, and the display is a private projection only the wearer sees, distinct from the camera-first glasses cohort.
