So, here’s the deal. Brilliant Labs, you know, that company? They’re tossing out another set of smart glasses soon, like end of the month soon. It’s their third gadget since they popped up in 2019. The whole thing’s kinda wild if you think about it.
Remember in 2023? They dropped this thing called Monocle. Basically, this little kit you slap on your own glasses, and bam! Instant heads-up display. Not sure who named it, but hey, it works. Fast forward a year, and they gave us Frame. Imagine Monocle but with a skinny frame and a sneaky little camera. I mean, it doesn’t even tip the scales at 40 grams. Feather-light, right?
And check this out — they claim Frame is your AI buddy. It’s got hooks into AI stuff like Perplexity and Whisper. Imagine having a chat about whatever you’re looking at or getting a text translated in real-time. Nuts, huh?
Anyway, big news — they’re teasing another release for July 31st, though they’re keeping mum on the details. Bobak Tavangar, the brain behind it all, is doing a Q&A shindig on Reddit. Why Reddit? Who knows. Maybe it’s got an edge.
From a sneak peek, the new glasses ditched the old-school round for a more sleek look. But hey, gotta see it to believe it, right? July 31st can’t come soon enough. I’ll be lurking around the augmented reality subreddit for more nuggets.
Oh, and the smart glasses race? It’s heating up! Meta’s teaming up with EssilorLuxottica for Oakley Meta HSTN. Then, Xiaomi’s throwing its hat in the ring with some AI glasses. And don’t sleep on Google; their Android XR glasses are coming, with friends like Warby Parker and Gentle Monster.
Brilliant Labs is holding a spot with their display-touting specs for now, but everyone else is catching up fast. Google’s hinted at glasses with a display, and rumors say Meta’s cooking up its own with a wrist doodad for control. It’s like a tech soap opera, seriously.
