Halliday’s AI-equipped smart glasses offer a way to view information discreetly, by hiding a tiny screen that only the wearer can see.
One of the common issues with smart glasses is that they are fairly obvious, using a lens or a protruding element that gives the game away to onlookers. Halliday, meanwhile, are doing the same thing with its smart glasses at CES that makes it as discreet as possible.
Referred to as a DigiWindow, a small dot in the top right part of the frame projects information inside the user’s natural field of vision. The effect is a perceived 3.5-inch screen in the user’s upper right corner of their vision, without obstructing their main view.
There are no lenses or waveguides visible on the retro-styled glasses. Even control is relatively discreet, with it having a trackpad ring alongside voice commands and a frame interface.

It’s also lightweight for smartglasses at 35 grams, while also offering up to 8 hours of continuous use.
There’s also a proactive AI agent handling what information is displayed to the user. Connecting to a smartphone using Bluetooth, it can analyze conversations and answer questions and queries without needing a trigger prompt.
This includes suggestions based on the context of the moment, capturing and summarizing audio memos, checking for messages and notifications, real-time translations, and navigation help. It also has a teleprompter and cheat-sheet function for meetings.
Expected to ship by the end of Q1 2025, Halliday will cost from $399 to $499.
