The 'um, actually' guy you know just got infinitely more powerful with these AI glasses

A young man runs on the spot in a studio. The set contains a yellow post box, two yellow road signs, a set of traffic lights, and a bicycle haphazardly stren around. The man is wearing the Halliday smart glasses and a green text overlay attempts to artistically demonstrate how the man is using the smart glasses to give him directions while he runs.

They keep trying to make AI wearables happen. Halliday is the latest attempt to swing for the fences, offering comparatively lightweight glasses frames that house what is described as a "proactive AI agent." I don't know about you, but the term "proactive AI agent" inspires in me a visceral reaction, not unlike the one I had recently when a trained stranger tried to pop a contact lens in my eye for the first time.

The Halliday frames are on Kickstarter right now, and the crowd-funding campaign makes a number of big claims. Firstly, the "world's most discreet display module" is integrated directly into the frames, projecting messages from the allegedly oh-so-helpful onboard AI that only you can see on the inside of your lenses.
