Halo X: smart glasses for becoming a “silent genius”
The startup Halo has introduced its Halo X glasses, a device that listens to your surroundings and projects information on a micro screen only visible to you. The glasses use AI engines for reasoning and contextual search, promising lightning-fast response times. They can transcribe conversations, provide quick information about places or objects, offer live translations, and have eight hours of autonomy connected to a mobile phone. However, concerns about privacy arise due to the lack of visible warnings and past controversies with unauthorized facial recognition systems. The glasses can be reserved for €223.13 on their official website, with availability and shipping dates still unconfirmed. The Halo X glasses represent the ambition and fragility of AI devices, with the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with technology if they can overcome privacy issues and deliver a seamless experience.
