Halliday’s camera-free G2 smart glasses cost $599 and target meetings with live captions, translation in 45-plus languages and AI summaries. Shipments are expected to begin in September 2026; independent testing has not yet verified their performance.

Halliday says its Meeting Flow feature is designed to track discussion threads, confirm decisions and identify owners, actions and deadlines. It can also provide post-meeting transcripts and summaries with an open-item tracker; the glasses additionally support calls, notifications, music and a notes-display mode.

Reservations opened July 21: a $10 deposit locks in a $100 discount, bringing the pre-order price to $499 before taxes, prescription charges or subscriptions. WIRED reports AI plans range from a free tier with 120 recording minutes to $99 a month; full plan details are not specified. The four microphones process speech for transcription and AI features despite the camera-free design.
