Okay, so Brilliant Labs is up to something again. They’re rolling out their third set of smart glasses—seriously, their third—since they kicked things off in 2019. It’s pretty wild how much they’ve cranked out in a few years.
Remember Monocle? Yeah, 2023 saw them tossing that at the world, like a developer’s dream or headache, who knows. It was basically a clip-on thingy, a heads-up display that you glom onto your own glasses. Kind of cool, right?
Then the next year—2024 if my math isn’t failing—came Frame. They took Monocle, spruced it up, and bam! It’s now glasses-shaped. There’s even a camera in there. The whole thing is like under 40g. Crazy light, almost makes you forget you’re wearing specs.
Picture this, if you squint a little, it’s like trying on an AI buddy. Yep, Frame is supposedly your “AI-driven personal assistant,” or so they say. Loaded with stuff like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and that Whisper thing. It’s like having a tiny, nerdy friend who does translations and Googles things for you while you wander around.
Fast forward to this moment—well, this month anyway. On July 31st, they’re unleashing the newest gizmo. Sort of tight-lipped about it though, typical. Bobak Tavangar from Brilliant Labs is doing a launch-day Q&A on Reddit. Might be worth a scroll or two, just saying.
Oh! Spotted the sneak peek? The new thing doesn’t really go for that round spectacle throwback anymore. Looks like they’ve diced it for a sleeker, modern vibe. Or something like that. We’ll see the full picture at the end of July, whenever that lands on your calendar. You bet I’ll be cyber-lurking on their Reddit and website for the lowdown.
Oh, and get this, the smart glasses market is getting feisty. Meta and some folks from EssilorLuxottica teamed up to show off their Oakley Meta HSTN glasses not long ago. And Xiaomi, yeah, the Chinese giant, jumped in with their AI spectacles too. Google’s not sitting back either—they’ve got their Android XR glasses in the works with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster. Fasten your seatbelt; this is just getting started.
Brilliant Labs might be hanging in the few offering glasses with a built-in screen for now, but don’t get too comfy. Google’s about to shake things up with something similar, at least according to the whispers. Meta supposedly has plans to toss a screen and a wrist gizmo into their next release too. Just brace yourselves—a lot is about to change.
