Every year after the Christmas holidays, the famous Consumer Electronics Show (CES) takes place in Las Vegas. This is one of the main events for technological innovations, where all kinds of new products are presented. If some announcements have good surprises in store for us, others are more disappointing.
Among the most anticipated announcements this year are Halliday smart glasses:

They stand out for their unique approach to augmented reality, which could well inspire future Apple Glass.
A most discreet head-up display
What is immediately striking about Halliday glasses is their clean and minimalist design. Unlike most smart glasses, they don’t have protruding lenses or elements that would betray their nature. The secret lies in a tiny bright spot located in the upper right corner of the frame:

Called DigiWindow, this miniature projector displays information directly in the user’s natural field of vision. The effect produced is that of a 3.5-inch floating screen in the upper right corner, without obstructing the main view. A real tour de force in terms of discretion and integration!
Proactive AI for a personalized experience
Beyond the head-up display, Halliday glasses focus on artificial intelligence to offer a tailor-made experience. Connected to the user’s iPhone via Bluetooth, they analyze conversations and answer your questions without you even having to formulate them.
Contextual AI can therefore suggest relevant information in real time, summarize your audio memos, check your notifications, translate foreign languages or even guide you while you travel. It even acts as a teleprompter during your meetings! With a weight of 35 grams and one 8 hour battery lifethe Hallidays aim to be as practical as they are innovative.
Their price, between 399 and 499 dollarswith a delivery planned for April/May 2025. It remains to be seen whether Apple will take inspiration from these avant-garde glasses for its own Apple Glass. One thing is certain: the bar is set very high!
