Brilliant Labs unveils new Halo AI smart glasses with built-in display, lightweight design, and 14 hours of runtime

Brilliant Labs has launched its latest Halo AI glasses in the global market. Advertised as the world’s thinnest open-source glasses, the Halo offer advanced features as expected from 2025 smart glasses. More specifically, Brilliant Labs has packed a "vibe coding assistant" called Vibe mode into the Halo. This is an experimental feature from the company that enables users to create custom apps using simple natural language voice commands. 

The Halo AI glasses go heavy on the AI side too, with Brilliant Labs’ Noa AI agent, which offers features like real-time conversations and a long-term memory system called Narrative. Users can manage system-level controls, such as microphone, camera, and other settings, with a single voice command. 

Unlike other AI smart glasses, such as Xiaomi AI glasses and Ray-Ban Meta AI (curr. at $299 on Amazon) glasses, Brilliant Labs' Halo are equipped with both a display and a camera. Speaking of display, the product features a tiny 0.2-inch full-color micro-OLED heads-up display that projects a retro arcade-style UI into the wearer’s purview and supports a wide range of interpupillary distances. 

Furthermore, the Halo’s overall design is indistinguishable from a pair of everyday eyewear glasses and they are said to be compatible with prescription lenses via a partnership with SmartBuyGlasses. Weighing in at just 40 grams (0.08 lbs), the AI glasses are powered by the new B1 chip from Alif Semiconductor, an ultra-low-power microcontroller with an integrated NPU for on-device AI and sensor fusion. 

Moreover, Brilliant Labs managed to squeeze in an optical sensor, IMU, microphone array, and bone conduction speakers into Halo’s compact design. According to Brilliant Labs, the Halo offer up to 14 hours of battery life on a single charge. By contrast, Xiaomi's current-gen AI glasses are rated to deliver only 8.6 hours of battery life. 

Available in a single black colorway, this new Brilliant Labs product is priced at $299 and is currently available for preorder via the Brilliant Labs official website, with shipping starting globally from November 2025.
