These $349 smart glasses have ‘AI superpowers’ and a comical charging nose
Frame is a pair of open-source smart spectacles.
As shown in a video posted by Brilliant Labs, you can use your voice to ask the glasses to do things like identify a landmark you’re looking at, search the web for a particular pair of sneakers you’re seeing, or even look up nutrition information for the food you’re about to eat. You won’t have to pay to use the hardware by itself, though, as Brilliant Labs notes on its Discord channel that there’s “no paywall or subscription” and that you can freely use the eyewear with other apps. It offers a roughly 20-degree diagonal field of view, which is on the small side for mixed or augmented-reality glasses, especially compared with something like the 52 degrees you’d get with Xreal’s new Air 2 Ultra design.
