Halliday has unveiled its G2 smart glasses, which capture and summarize workplace meetings using audio alone. The device forgoes video recording entirely.
The G2 glasses feature built-in microphones that record meeting audio and use AI to generate summaries. This audio-only approach distinguishes Halliday's offering from competitors like Meta and Google, which prioritize visual data collection.
Halliday positions the camera-free design as a privacy advantage for workplace environments. Without video recording, the glasses avoid recording colleagues, physical spaces, or sensitive materials that might appear on screen.
The device syncs with workplace software and can transcribe conversations in real time. Users access summaries through a companion app, allowing them to review key discussion points without attending meetings live.
Halliday joins a growing number of companies rethinking smart glasses functionality. While AR and visual features dominate the market, some manufacturers are exploring narrower use cases that don't require cameras.
Pricing and availability details remain undisclosed. The company has not announced shipping dates or target markets for the G2.
