Revolutionizing the Meeting Experience

Halliday has introduced the G2, a new iteration of smart glasses that shifts the focus of AI from post-meeting summaries to real-time interaction. While many existing AI tools excel at transcribing what has already occurred, the Halliday G2 is designed to provide immediate guidance and contextual insights as a conversation unfolds, helping to keep professional meetings productive and focused.


The Power of Meeting Flow

At the core of the G2 is the proprietary 'Meeting Flow' feature. Instead of forcing users to rely on smartphones or secondary devices, the glasses use a waveguide display to project essential information directly into the user's field of view. Key capabilities include:

  • Live Support: Real-time captions, instant language translation, and quick recaps if the user loses the thread of the discussion.
  • Proactive Management: The AI monitors for topic drift, highlights ambiguous decisions, identifies unassigned tasks, and tracks action items to ensure nothing is overlooked.
  • Confidence-Rated Answers: The system provides contextual research and answers with accompanying confidence scores, allowing users to verify information via a companion app.

Hardware Designed for the Workplace

The G2 model prioritizes a professional aesthetic and functional utility. It features binocular waveguide optics driven by dual micro-LED projectors, capable of reaching 1,600 nits of brightness. Halliday has optimized the hardware for long-term use, aiming for a weight under 50 grams and a battery life exceeding 12 hours. The device utilizes a four-microphone array, effective at distances of up to two meters, to capture audio clearly.


Notably, the device is camera-free. This design choice is intended to improve acceptance in high-security environments and privacy-sensitive boardrooms, while simultaneously reducing weight and extending the operational lifespan of the battery.


Beyond the Conference Room

While optimized for business, the glasses offer broader functionality, including:

  • Real-time translation for over 45 languages.
  • Built-in AI assistant for general queries.
  • Integration with notifications, music controls, and dashboard cards.
  • A 'Cheatsheet' mode, which functions like a teleprompter for notes and reminders.

Future Outlook and Availability

Halliday has opened pre-orders for the G2, requiring a $10 deposit. This reduces the anticipated $599 retail price by $100, with shipping expected in September 2026. The company also confirmed that ongoing updates through 2026 will enhance the system's contextual awareness, allowing the AI to better interpret long-term projects and historical conversations.
