Brilliant Labs has launched Frame Glasses, an innovative pair of smart glasses equipped with a distinctive AI virtual assistant, revolutionizing wearable technology.
Taking inspiration from Apple’s Vision Pro, Brilliant Labs has unveiled Frame, cutting-edge smart glasses featuring a unique AI virtual assistant. This pioneering product, supported by Niantic Labs of Pokémon Go fame, as well as OpenAI and Perplexity AI, represents a significant advancement in wearable technology. Available for pre-order at $349, Frame glasses not only push the boundaries of digital interaction but also offer a glimpse into future AI services, including a forthcoming paid plan, set to ship in April.
What are Frame Glasses?
Frame glasses by Brilliant Labs are available in three colors: black, white, and transparent, catering to different style preferences and functional needs, including compatibility with prescription lenses. They feature advanced technology like a microOLED panel for immersive virtual reality experiences, a small camera on the nosepiece, and unique battery-loaded earpieces designed for convenience. Offering all-day battery life, these glasses recharge via a specially designed orange charging device, “Mister Power,” complete with a USB-C cable, ensuring users stay connected without frequent recharges.
Brilliant Labs’ Frame glasses offer remarkable features such as language translation and the ability to answer queries through AI assistance. They stand out by also being able to calculate the calorie content of food, similar to the capabilities of Humane AI’s technology. This blend of functionalities makes Frame glasses not just a tool for communication and information but also a health and wellness companion.
Led by former Apple executive Bobak Tavangar, Brilliant Labs’ Frame glasses are designed to revolutionize our interaction with the digital and social world. Drawing aesthetic inspiration from iconic figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Jobs, and John Lennon, Frame glasses combine style with functionality, offering a modern twist on classic round eyewear designs.
A new Assistant
Frame glasses feature Noa, an always-on AI similar to Iron Man’s Jarvis, designed to enhance how users interact with their environment and the digital world. Noa evolves with user interaction, developing a unique personality and performing complex tasks beyond simple translations or summaries, thanks to its advanced AI technology.
Brilliant Labs envisions the Frame glasses as a tool to foster new forms of interaction and open up fresh experiences in daily activities, work, and education, leveraging the power of generative AI. These glasses are equipped with a leading-edge AI system capable of simultaneous operation with GPT-4, Stability AI, and Whisper AI models.
Noa, the AI assistant, enhances user experience through visual processing, speech recognition, and generating images, making Frame a platform for numerous AI models to work together, expanding the realm of possibilities in everyday life.
