Tired of AI glasses that feel more like strapping a smartphone to your face? Let’s be honest. Many so-called AI glasses are AR glasses reimagined. But the Halliday AI Glasses, unveiled at CES 2025, are not. For starters, it does not have a display on the lens. It is on the frame.

It features a tech called DigiWindow display, which is hidden slyly in the frame, offering a subtler, smarter approach to wearable tech. But here’s the kicker: accessing all this brilliance means glancing upward, potentially making you the unintentional champion of eye-rolling competitions. It is not exactly the best thing to do when someone is conversing with you. Then again, this pair of AI glasses literally let you “look up” information.
Despite the occasional social awkwardness, the Halliday AI Glasses pack an impressive tech punch. They translate over 40 languages in real time, summarize meetings (so you can zone out with impunity), and display notifications and navigation like a pro. Need to channel your inner news anchor? The teleprompter mode has you covered. Meanwhile, the proactive AI assistant can anticipate your needs and chime in during conversations, so you’ll always have a witty—or at least informed—comeback.


Weighing just 35 grams, they’re lighter than most sunglasses and come with a trackpad ring for effortless control. And with a 12-hour battery life, they’ll last longer than your average workday. Whether navigating a city or dazzling coworkers with instant insights, these glasses ensure you’re ready for anything—awkward glances included.
As for pricing, the Halliday AI Glasses are expected to sell for US$489. Now, if you are expecting a Kickstarter campaign for this product, well, you are spot on. Halliday will be taking its AI-imbued smart glasses to Kickstarter for as low as US$369. That said, you can actually reserve one by dropping a US$9.90 deposit on the Halliday website.
