Brilliant Labs' New Halo Smartglasses Powered By ZephyrOS

Open source AI glasses for the curious, creative, and forward thinking. With a fresh design and reimagined optical and electrical systems, Halo comes equipped with a suite of AI capabilities out of the box—including conversational AI, memory enhancement, and the ability to vibe-code custom apps—all while weighing just over 40g.

Noa, Halo’s AI assistant is always listening and watching to answer questions with a human-like touch. Ask it to name a landmark or translate a menu and it responds instantly, using on-device processing for speed. Its open-source Lua-based system, running on Zephyr OS, invites developers to create custom apps, from navigation tools to quirky productivity hacks.

Narrative, Halo’s memory system, is a game-changer, storing your daily moments in a private knowledge base for later recall. Forgot a name from a meetup? Noa’s got you. Privacy is a priority, with on-device data processing and irreversible encryption, as well as voice commands to disable sensors.
