Halliday G2

Overview

Halliday G2 are camera-free AI productivity smart glasses launched by Halliday in July 2026 for $599. Moving from the single-eye optical module of the first-generation Halliday glasses to a binocular waveguide system, the G2 is purpose-built for corporate meetings, lectures and workplaces where camera-equipped glasses like Ray-Ban Meta are restricted.

Display and optics

Dual Micro-LED projectors drive a binocular waveguide optical system at 600 × 300 resolution per eye and up to 1,600 nits of peak brightness. The virtual interface sits in the upper portion of the wearer's field of view, allowing you to glance slightly upward to read live meeting transcripts, talking points or translation captions without breaking eye contact during a conversation.

Comfort, audio and privacy

The Halliday G2 has no camera of any kind, satisfying enterprise security policies while keeping weight under 50 g (about 48 g). Unlike the speaker-free Even Realities frames, Halliday includes open-ear speakers and a four-microphone array tuned for a two-meter voice pickup radius in conference rooms. Battery life is rated at more than 12 hours of mixed productivity use.

Software and Meeting Flow

Halliday's software centers on "Meeting Flow": the glasses transcribe multi-speaker meetings in real time, highlight action items and decisions on the in-lens HUD, and proactively surface answers or definitions when technical terms come up in conversation. Outside of meetings, the G2 offers live translation, a voice-synced teleprompter, navigation prompts and audio playback.

Who it is for

Halliday G2 suits consultants, journalists, students and enterprise workers who want an all-day AI meeting assistant, live translator and heads-up teleprompter in a sub-50-gram frame that is welcome in camera-free offices.
