Halliday’s latest smart glasses feature a much-improved display
Halliday has released its second-generation smart glasses, which feature improved waveguide displays and a more discreet design. The device intentionally excludes cameras to prioritize privacy and battery life for professional meeting environments.
Why it matters
The shift toward camera-less smart glasses reflects growing consumer and corporate concerns regarding privacy and surveillance in wearable technology.
I first slipped on Halliday’s original smart glasses at CES 2025. I was not a fan. The glasses had a tiny, movable display window embedded into the frame that was incredibly finicky to see, and my 30-minute demo left me with achy eyeballs. It was an interesting concept with terrible execution, especially compared to the several other smart glasses on the show floor. So I was skeptical when a few weeks ago, Halliday reached out to say its second attempt at smart glasses was much better.
