futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-04 21:00:17

We live in an age where the tech industry's core pitch is for you to outsource your brain's cognitive functions, be it to an AI chatbot or an app. The idea has now reached a new zenith. A startup called Halo is releasing a pair of smart glasses that will record and transcribe all your conversations and use it to beam you AI-powered insights. It'll remember details you forgot and recall what someone told you they like, the startup says, arming you with facts it looks up on the fly and answering

Gear News of the Week: Always-Recording Smart Glasses, and Google Teases a New Nest Speaker

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-11-04 18:00:00

First, they showed the world how easy it is to add facial recognition to Meta's smart glasses. Now, they're making their own pair of smart specs. Former Harvard students Caine Ardayfio and AnhPhu Nguyen this week announced Halo, a startup of roughly 11 people working to develop always-recording smart glasses. The pair dropped out of Harvard to develop Halo X, smart glasses with a display on the lens that can answer any question someone asks. Powered by a combination of Google's Gemini and Perp

Meta’s First ‘Real’ Smart Glasses Have One Huge Problem

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-14 14:31:05

When Google Glass came stumbling onto the scene in 2013, people were taken aback. Not only did Google’s smart glasses, with their bordering-on-novel camera, present new and somewhat icky questions about personal privacy, but they also crossed an even more controversial line: they looked really, really dorky. Fast forward more than 10 years into the future, and all of those hangups (at least on the surface) seem to be in the rearview. Take Meta, for example. Sales of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses

Meta Wants to Make Its First AR Glasses With a Display as Cheap as a Flagship Phone

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-11-17 14:10:35

If there’s one thing that we’ve learned in the world of mixed reality over the past year, it’s that price is pretty much everything. Just ask Apple, which is still struggling to find an audience for its $3,500 Vision Pro headset. I mean, it’s not that there’s not a lot to love about the Vision Pro (the best UI in mixed reality and a premium display are particular highlights), but I bought my first used car for a price that wasn’t too far off, and that at least got me to work semi-on time.

Meta’s first Android-based AR glasses could be landing very soon at an irresistible price

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR Meta’s first augmented reality glasses are reportedly launching next month. These glasses, codenamed “Hypernova,” will offer a barebones interface with basic support for notifications and Meta’s AI. The glasses are reported to launch at just $800, to rake in far more orders than Apple’s extravagantly priced Vision Pro.

HTC, one of the few lingering pioneers of VR headsets with its Vive series, couldn’t stand up to Meta’s Quest for cheap consumer virtual reality, but it may be able to shoulder in some room with a new pair of smart glasses that goes tit for tat with Meta’s Ray-Ban and Oakley HSTN smart eyewear.

And sure, active noise-cancellation (ANC) wireless earbuds are probably never going to fall out of vogue entirely, but in recent years, audio companies have recognized that it is, in fact, nice to sometimes be aware of your surroundings.
