Introducing Brilliance: Frame AI Glasses With Multimodal AI Capabilities by Brilliant Labs

Brilliant Labs has recently introduced Frame AI Glasses, a cutting-edge wearable gadget infused with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. Positioned to rival similar offerings like Humane’s AI Pin and the Rabbit R1, these glasses boast a discreet design resembling conventional prescription eyewear, concealing powerful micro-OLED displays and a suite of multimodal AI functionalities. According to Brilliant Labs, wearing the Frame AI Glasses can evoke a sensation akin to possessing “AI superpowers” through your lenses. Available now for pre-ordering, with an anticipated shipping commencement in April, these glasses promise a seamless integration of AI into everyday life.

A visit to the Brilliant Labs website unveils detailed product information, showcasing the device’s hardware specifications and highlighting its array of features. Accompanying this is an engaging promotional video teasing the Frame AI Glasses and offering glimpses into their capabilities.

Notably, the glasses weigh under 40g, aligning with the weight of standard prescription eyewear and ensuring comfort during extended wear. For comparison, sunglasses typically weigh between 10g and 20g, underscoring the Frame AI Glasses’ optimal balance of functionality and convenience.

Coming to the hardware, the AI glasses have two layers of lenses, with the outer being an augmented reality (AR) lens and the inner being an optional space to attach a prescription lens. In case there is no prescription lens required, this place will simply have an optomechanical enclosure with the micro-OLED fitted in.

The company claims that the display panel is “bonded to a thin geometric prism optic”. The entire setup uses magnets to connect the parts, similar to the Apple Vision Pro. The temples contain the circuitry and the temple tips house the battery.

On to the features, the Frame AI Glasses have a wide range of functionalities, as per the company. It has visual recognition capabilities and can offer descriptions of the object you’re seeing. It can also translate text in real-time, show nutrition details of food products, do live web searches, and even generate images and place them in real-world conditions using the AR lens. The company has revealed that the visual analysis feature and live translation are powered by OpenAI’s AI models, and Perplexity AI enables live web search.

The Frame AI Glasses are available in Cool Gray, H2O, and Smokey Black colour options, and can be pre-ordered for $349 (roughly Rs. 29,000). The company is including an accessory called Mister Power, which is essentially a power bank for longer battery life that attaches itself to the rim between the lenses, with the product. For now, Brilliant Labs is offering AI services for free with a daily cap but has said that it will announce a paid tier soon.
