Overview
The Brilliant Labs Halo is a pair of wireless HUD smart glasses priced at $349, announced on July 31, 2025, and available for pre-order ahead of early August 2025 shipments. Weighing just 40 grams, the glasses integrate a Micro LED display paired with an adjustable optic supporting +2 to -6 diopters, allowing visual adjustments without external prescription inserts.
Designed for everyday heads-up utility, the Halo carries an integrated camera, dual microphones, dual bone conduction speakers, and a dedicated low-power AI processor. It features a low-power optical sensor for inference and runs on-device AI alongside the built-in Noa assistant, all operating without the need for a tethered cable.
The device carves out a distinct position in the emerging smart glasses space by offering fully open-source hardware and software for developers.
