- Halliday Glasses is a smart eyewear with a 3.5-inch display on the top right side of the frame.
- It also features an onboard AI that actively listens to conversations and offers prompt-free responses.
- The company is planning to release these glasses by the end of Q1 2025 for $399-$499.
Remember Google Glass? It had a small screen visible in your field of view that let you check notifications and do more. Fast-forward to 2024 when Meta released their glasses with an onboard AI. Neither turned out to be the massive success their companies were hoping they would turn out to be. Now, Halliday is coming out with its own smart glasses, which brings the best of both worlds in one package.
Halliday Glasses is a wearable technology startup that is showcasing its flagship product at CES 2025. These old-school-esque sunglasses come with a near-eye display at the top right side of the frame. This is a 3.5-inch display that is visible even if you have a perfect 20-20 vision, or need prescription lenses. They are calling it the “DigiWindow” and Halliday is calling it the smallest near-eye display.

Others around you won’t be able to see the contents of the display. Plus, you can control what’s on the screen using voice commands, touch gestures on the frame, or a smart ring that will act as a trackpad.
But these glasses are way smarter than you think as it also houses an AI assistant onboard. Yes, this concept is pretty similar to Meta AI glasses. But instead of having to wake them up and give them prompts, the AI on these glasses is actively listening to the conversations to suggest appropriate responses. Or, provide necessary insights on a topic without requiring any prompts.
Halliday claims that the AI will also be able to perform other tasks like: translating up to 40 languages , live directions, voice-to-text notes transcription, and show lyrics when listening to music. However, for the AI to work, these glasses will stay connected to your phone via Bluetooth to fetch details from the internet. But we have 0 clues as to which AI model they are leveraging.
Halliday ( website ) states that their smart glasses will be available near the end of Q1 2025 and will go for around $399 to $499. Now at that price, it is an intriguing product, to say the least. I am quite curious as to how the display works, and what kind of things it will be able to pull off, especially given its size and placement on the frame.
Will they hinder the user’s vision or require them to constantly squint to view the contents of the small screen? All this will be answered when the glasses come out in a couple of months.

- Movano is coming out with their new EvieAI coming to their smart rings.
- It is post-trained on 100,000 medical journals, including FDA-approved content cross-referenced from Harvard, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic.
- The AI chatbot achieves high accuracy rates and doesn’t provide answers to unknown topics.
Nearly every device at CES has AI labeled all over it, given its flexibility of use and marketability. But its incoherence and the room for hallucinations make it a poor choice for medical advice. So, companies stray away from it because of the major repercussions it can have on someone’s health and life. But smart ring maker Movano is coming out with their new health and wellness LLM called EvieAI, offering more reliable medical advice.

So EvieAI will only be pulling its information from this data set reducing its chances of hallucinations. The results speak for themselves as the answers from the AI chatbot are 99% accurate. That’s also because EvieAI confirms whether your query tracks with the Movano’s training data. The AI will also follow industry-standard encryption methods. Since chats are deleted periodically, no one will be able to track them back to the users.
Movano’s CEO John Mastrototaro also mentioned that the AI doesn’t shy away from saying no. If you ask anything related to a topic it hasn’t been trained upon, “it’s not going to tell you because it doesn’t have any information about that” according to Mostratotaro. He further added, “I think that it’s okay to say no if you don’t know the answer to something,”
Movano has recently re-released their Evie Ring to customers which addresses feedback on sleep data and heart rate accuracy. The company has also received FDA clearance for the EvieMED ring which is aimed at remote monitoring and clinical trials of patients. The beta version of the EvieAI will be rolling out starting January 8th to current Evie Ring users in their companion app.
Movano is trying to do something that can change the way people perceive AI. Training their LLM on just medical journals will for sure improve the accuracy of results, and they are going to be better than other general AI models. However, even Doctors coincide with each other on the recent development of new techniques and technologies. So its accuracy and how correct it stands with its answers will be interesting to see.
