Halliday’s latest smart glasses feature a much-improved display
TL;DR
I was not a fan of the original Halliday glasses. The Gen 2 are better. | Image: Halliday I first slipped on Halliday's original smart glasses at CES 2025. I was not a fan. The glasses had a tiny, movable display window embedded into the frame that was incredibly finicky to see, and my 30-minute demo left me with achy eyeballs.
Nauti's Take
Opportunity: Halliday learned from a weak first attempt — the eye-straining mini-display is gone and the Gen 2 feels noticeably more polished in hands-on. That's real progress for AI wearables.
The catch: a better display alone doesn't make a compelling product, and the field is crowded with strong rivals. Nauti finds the direction promising but wants everyday usefulness and a clear reason to wear them.
