Halliday’s New Smart Glasses Skip the Camera

Halliday 新款智能眼镜：舍弃摄像头，专注会议记录

There’s a new pair of camera-less smart glasses in town: the Halliday G2, designed to listen to workplace meetings, absorb what happens, and summarize all the interesting bits, much like always-listening wearables. Halliday says the mics can be turned on for meetings, using AI voice commands, or making phone calls, but switch off when not in use.

市面上出现了一款新的无摄像头智能眼镜：Halliday G2。它旨在监听工作会议、捕捉会议内容并总结要点，功能类似于那些“全天候监听”的可穿戴设备。Halliday 表示，麦克风可在开会、使用 AI 语音指令或拨打电话时开启，而在不使用时则会关闭。

They’re normal-ish looking glasses, meant to blend into a professional environment, namely by not having cameras on them. They cost $599, with first shipments planned for September 2026. There are paid subscription tiers for the AI services that range from $10 per month to $99, but users can choose a free tier that offers 120 minutes of recording time.

这款眼镜外观看起来比较普通，旨在融入专业办公环境，其核心卖点就是不配备摄像头。售价为 599 美元，计划于 2026 年 9 月首批出货。其 AI 服务提供每月 10 美元至 99 美元不等的付费订阅档位，用户也可以选择提供 120 分钟录音时长的免费档位。

Halliday’s glasses might not be met well by one of its competitors. Smart glasses brand Even Realities launched its G2 glasses late last year, proudly focusing on the lack of cameras in its eyewear; Halliday’s G2 shares the same name and channels the same mantra, not to mention a striking resemblance. (In both cases, G2 is short for Generation 2, so it’s indicating the stage of the device, not necessarily a specific brand name.)

Halliday 的这款眼镜可能会引起竞争对手的不满。智能眼镜品牌 Even Realities 去年底推出了其 G2 眼镜，并以“无摄像头”为核心卖点；Halliday 的 G2 不仅名字相同，理念一致，外观也惊人地相似。（在这两种情况下，G2 都是“第二代”的缩写，代表设备迭代阶段，而非特定的品牌名称。）

Building smart glasses without cameras seems to be growing more popular. The market is still dominated by Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, even though those have garnered the “pervert glasses” moniker because the device’s built-in cameras have been abused to capture pictures and video of people (mostly women) without them realizing it. Eager to differentiate, some companies have shipped ways to cover up their cameras, or, like Even Realities and now Halliday, are skipping them entirely. Still, those glasses are all-in on recording the audio around you.

制造无摄像头智能眼镜似乎正变得越来越流行。目前市场仍由 Meta 的 Ray-Ban 智能眼镜主导，尽管该产品因内置摄像头被滥用于在他人（主要是女性）不知情的情况下拍摄照片和视频，而被冠以“变态眼镜”的恶名。为了寻求差异化，一些公司推出了遮挡摄像头的方法，或者像 Even Realities 和现在的 Halliday 一样，完全舍弃摄像头。不过，这些眼镜依然致力于录制你周围的音频。

In its press release, Halliday says that unlike smart glasses with cameras in them, the G2 is meant to be “a professional tool for real-world work and social environments. With no camera, the glasses are better suited for meetings, client conversations, secure workplaces, and other spaces where recording devices may be unwelcome.”

在新闻稿中，Halliday 表示，与带有摄像头的智能眼镜不同，G2 旨在成为“适用于现实工作和社交环境的专业工具。由于没有摄像头，这款眼镜更适合会议、客户交谈、安全工作场所，以及其他可能不欢迎录像设备的场合。”

That acknowledgement aside, Halliday’s G2 glasses do not have an indicator light or other method to inform people around the wearer that the glasses are recording audio. Wearable devices like Bee’s Pioneer emit a light to indicate they are recording, though the device is so obscure that most people may still not realize.

尽管如此，Halliday 的 G2 眼镜并没有配备指示灯或其他方式来告知佩戴者周围的人设备正在录音。像 Bee 的 Pioneer 这样的可穿戴设备会通过亮灯来提示录音状态，尽管该设备非常冷门，大多数人可能依然无法察觉。

“The user should disclose to the room that the recording is in progress, as it is required by any other recording device,” wrote a Halliday media contact in response to questions from WIRED.

“用户应当向房间内的人员说明录音正在进行，正如使用任何其他录音设备时所要求的那样，”Halliday 的媒体联络人在回复《连线》（WIRED）杂志的提问时写道。

The G2s are the second iteration of Halliday’s glasses. The company introduced its first pair at CES 2025, which received mixed reviews and wound up in the “Don’t Bother” category of WIRED’s smart glasses guide. They have also garnered criticism on sites like Reddit and had to field lots of frustration on the original Kickstarter-backed version of its device. Halliday is back for round two, aiming to boost the specs—and the price—of its previous offering. The G2 glasses are aimed squarely at “high-performance professionals” like founders, CEOs, or really anyone with enough disposable cash to cop a pair of $600 glasses for their meetings.

G2 是 Halliday 眼镜的第二代产品。该公司在 2025 年国际消费电子展（CES）上推出了第一代产品，但评价褒贬不一，最终被列入《连线》智能眼镜指南的“不推荐”类别。该产品还在 Reddit 等网站上遭到批评，其最初通过 Kickstarter 众筹的版本也引发了用户的大量不满。Halliday 卷土重来，旨在提升前代产品的规格和价格。G2 眼镜的目标群体明确指向“高绩效专业人士”，如创始人、首席执行官，或者任何有足够闲钱购买一副 600 美元眼镜用于会议的人。

The glasses have a display field toward the top of the lens, meaning the wearer can look up to see text on the screen. Microphones embedded in the frame listen to what’s happening nearby and can translate spoken language into text subtitles right in the wearer’s field of vision. It’s a handy use case that, in theory, can be a great tool for helping hard-of-hearing or deaf people capture conversations. Halliday says the display can also handle translation in 45 languages and notifications for messages and phone calls.

这款眼镜在镜片上方设有显示区域，这意味着佩戴者可以抬头查看屏幕上的文字。嵌入镜框的麦克风会监听周围发生的事情，并将口语实时翻译成文字字幕，直接呈现在佩戴者的视野中。这是一个实用的功能，理论上可以成为帮助听障人士捕捉对话的绝佳工具。Halliday 表示，该显示屏还支持 45 种语言的翻译，并能显示短信和来电通知。

Halliday’s focus for its G2 glasses is on the meeting room. Like a bevy of other AI-powered note-taking devices, the goal is to have a device that can listen in and track all the details your coworkers are going on about.

Halliday 将 G2 眼镜的重点放在了会议室场景。与其他众多 AI 驱动的笔记设备一样，其目标是打造一款能够监听并追踪同事讨论的所有细节的设备。

It’s powered by the company’s AI recording and transcription service, called Meeting Flow. The mics on the glasses listen in on a meeting, and then the AI helps organize and summarize what people are saying. Some of those insights will pop up on the display so the wearer can see them mid-meeting. After the meeting ends, Meeting Flow aims to summarize, transcribe, and pull out what it figures are the most pertinent topics from the conversation.

它由该公司名为“Meeting Flow”的 AI 录音和转录服务驱动。眼镜上的麦克风监听会议内容，随后 AI 帮助整理和总结人们的发言。部分见解会弹出在显示屏上，以便佩戴者在会议中查看。会议结束后，Meeting Flow 会对对话进行总结、转录，并提取出它认为最相关的话题。

Halliday says the AI is specifically focused on the important bits of a meeting, keeping track of the topics even if people wander off course. Features called Thread Tracker, Decision Confirmation, and Commitment Check aim to sort the useful stuff into an overall view of what was said. Full transcripts and post-meeting summaries are available in a companion app.

Halliday 表示，该 AI 专门聚焦于会议的重点内容，即使讨论偏离主题，也能持续追踪核心话题。“线程追踪”（Thread Tracker）、“决策确认”（Decision Confirmation）和“承诺检查”（Commitment Check）等功能旨在将有用信息整理成会议内容的全局视图。完整的转录稿和会后总结可在配套应用程序中查看。

There are features built into the device to make it blend into the background, like a “Stealth mode” that automatically reduces the display’s light in dark rooms so as not to distract the wearer or others around. A teleprompter mode called Cheatsheet keeps bullet-point-style reminders of what the AI deems important details of your day on the screen for easy access. (Anduril founder Palmer Luckey has said he has used a similar function in Even Realities’ G2 glasses to help him stay on track during a TED talk.)

设备内置了一些功能使其能够融入背景，例如“隐身模式”（Stealth mode），它会在暗室中自动降低显示屏亮度，以免分散佩戴者或周围人的注意力。名为“小抄”（Cheatsheet）的提词器模式会在屏幕上以项目符号的形式显示 AI 认为重要的日常细节，方便随时查阅。（Anduril 创始人 Palmer Luckey 曾表示，他在 TED 演讲期间使用过 Even Realities G2 眼镜的类似功能来帮助自己保持思路清晰。）

The smart glasses market is getting more refined, with smaller companies entering the second iteration of their product lifecycles. They’re aiming to establish some foothold before the giant tech companies, like Samsung, Google, and Apple, move in and sweep up most of the market.

智能眼镜市场正变得日益成熟，小型公司已进入产品生命周期的第二代迭代。他们旨在赶在三星、谷歌和苹果等科技巨头入场并横扫大部分市场份额之前，建立起自己的立足点。
