The story
The Gen 2 glasses from Halliday are pitched as a camera-free tool for work meetings, designed to capture and summarize conversations through AI voice recognition. The design emphasizes privacy and practicality, with a display that keeps the camera out of sight and a focus on meeting-oriented features.
The glasses use a monochrome green display with a maximum brightness of 1,600 nits and a per-eye resolution of 600x300. Halliday says the four-microphone array can pick up commands even in noisy environments and that the device can run for about 12 hours on typical use.
Halliday is introducing Meeting Flow, which helps wearers follow along in conversations by surfacing context or facts without looking away from the meeting. Other real-time tools include Thread Tracker (to show ongoing discussion threads), Decision Confirmation (to indicate project decisions), and Commitment Check (to track what’s been agreed to and what remains to be done).
The WIRED coverage notes a price of $599 and that first shipments are planned for September 2026, with AI service tiers ranging from $10 to $99 per month and a free tier offering 120 minutes of recording. Both outlets describe the glasses as a professional tool for meetings where cameras are undesirable or prohibited.
