Overview
The Halliday G2 is a wireless HUD smart glasses model designed specifically as a camera-free meeting assistant. Priced at $599 and currently available for pre-order, the glasses use a binocular waveguide display driven by dual micro-LED projectors. This optical setup delivers monochrome green visuals at 600x300 resolution per eye with up to 1,600 nits of brightness.
Weighing 49 g, the frame relies on an integrated 4-mic array with a 2-meter voice pickup range. This audio hardware supports Meeting Flow, a utility that provides live translation, captioning, research lookups, and post-meeting transcripts, all without an onboard camera.
In the HUD market, the G2 prioritizes privacy and runtime over multimedia capture. It offers a 12-hour battery life and cable-free operation, though it does not include on-device AI. Pre-sales open in July 2026 ahead of full shipping in September 2026.
