Halliday Global, a US-based wearable-tech startup, has introduced a sleek pair of smart glasses that blend retro aesthetics with cutting-edge innovation. 

Weighing just 28.5 g, these glasses seamlessly integrate a miniature “DigiWindow” display into everyday frames, enabling discreet access to AI features without bulky optics or intrusive hardware. Prescription-ready and fashion-conscious, Halliday aims to deliver intelligence that feels natural rather than tech-heavy.

Key Features

Invisible Display & Proactive AI

Halliday’s DigiWindow projects a small virtual screen—approximately the size of a 3.5″ display—into your upper peripheral vision using the world’s smallest optical module.

Beyond display, Halliday includes proactive AI capabilities—able to anticipate needs. It can listen in real-time, fact-check conversations, offer insights, draft notes, and show contextual information without prompting. 

Comfortable, Everyday Design

Designed for style and comfort, Halliday glasses support prescription lenses, deliver up to 12 hours of battery life, and offer 100 hours of standby. Control is through a ring-shaped touchpad for distraction-free interaction. 

Real-World Impressions

Media reviews commend Halliday for its fashion-forward simplicity and approachable interface. Tom’s Guide described the display as effectively blending into the user’s field of vision, while its battery performance impressed despite current limitations of early prototype models. 

Some users, like early adopters on Reddit, reported mild eye strain due to the monocular nature of the display and locating the visual hotspot. However, others praised the compatibility with progressive lenses—a notable advantage over many AR alternatives. 

Market Reception & Positioning

Debuting at CES 2025, Halliday quickly gained momentum with acclaim for creating a stylish and intuitive AI interface in wearable form. It has also been recognized across tech outlets—from ZDNET to CNET—for its discreet innovation and daily practicality.

On Kickstarter, Halliday raised over $2.1 million from more than 2,300 backers—demonstrating strong interest in a sleek, proactive smart wearable.
