Sure thing. Here’s the reimagined article:
So, here we go. Yet again, Brilliant Labs is about to drop its latest smarty-pants glasses—like what, the third one now? They popped up in 2019, and it feels like they’ve been busy little bees ever since.
Last year? Oh yeah, they threw out something called Monocle. It’s supposed to be this developer kit doodad that clicks onto any old glasses you’ve got lying around. Just one display, though, nothing too fancy.
Fast forward—whoa, was it just a year?—yep, 2024 rolls in and we get Frame. They kinda juiced up Monocle’s thing and squished it into something more, I dunno, glasses-ish? It’s got a cam now, so that’s cool. But the thing that really got me was how it feels so light! Under 40g. It’s like wearing nothing. Wait, why am I so stuck on the weight…?
There’s this pic—thanks, Brilliant Labs, for the eye candy. Anyway, Frame was all about playing assistant, tossing in AI like Perplexity and friends. So you look at something and it’s like boom, here’s info, and oh, instant translation too. Nice touch.
And now, the latest gizmo’s coming July 31. What is it? Shrug. They’re keeping lips tight, but Bobak Tavangar—he’s a bigwig there—is doing a launch Q&A on Reddit. Nerdiest kind of launch party, right?
Saw a sneak peek somewhere—looked sharp, ditched those Harry Potter rounds for something sleeker. But honestly, whether it’s suave or not, we’ll find out soon enough. Mark those calendars for the 31st, folks. Gonna be glued to Reddit and their site then.
And while we’re on smart glasses—man, everyone’s jumping on that wagon. Meta teamed with EssilorLuxottica for Oakley Meta somethings, and Xiaomi’s flashing AI Glasses. Look out, Google’s got plans too with Warby Parker and Gentle Monster or something. Android XR-based smart glasses—that’s a mouthful.
Right now though, Brilliant Labs is one of the few with glasses and a built-in display. But, the winds are changing. Rumor has it, Google and Meta might start jazzing up their specs with displays soon. Exciting times, right? Or maybe just more stuff to clutter the tech aisle. Who knows.
