Best for: Meeting-heavy professionals who want camera-free AI glasses with live captions, translation, and a teleprompter.
Editorial overview
By AR Compare Team ·
Compiled from AR Compare's verified catalog record and cited coverage — AR Compare has not tested this device.
The Halliday G2 is built around a specific bet: that meeting-heavy professionals want glanceable AI without a camera pointing at colleagues. The second-generation hardware replaces the G1’s single-eye module with a binocular waveguide fed by dual monochrome-green micro-LED projectors at 600x300, rated up to 1,600 nits peak — bright enough for office glare — with a four-microphone array the maker rates for roughly 2 meters of pickup and a 12+ hour battery. There are no speakers and no camera; feedback is visual, control runs through the ‘Hey Halliday’ wake word, and the app stack covers 45+ language live translation, Meeting Flow (captions, transcripts, action items), and a Cheatsheet teleprompter.
Availability is current: announced July 21, 2026, it reached retail in September 2026 at the recorded $599 (the record also logged a pre-sale structure where a $10 priority-access deposit brought it to $499), with the maker’s page showing a second production batch selling and standard orders shipping in days. The prescription path is unusually well documented — single-vision lenses from SPH -9.00 to +2.00 and CYL -3.00 to +3.00 in 0.25 steps, glazed only by Halliday, with a $199 lens credit covering standard indexes in full, 4-6 week turnaround, and final-sale terms.
The record’s caveats are material. Key AI features sit behind subscription tiers running from $9.90 to $99 per month, the display is monochrome green only, and the published spec sheet omits a numeric field of view while stating weight only as under 50 grams. For buyers who want captions, translation, and a teleprompter in an office-safe, camera-free package, the G2 is the catalog’s most direct answer — priced like a premium device and metered like a service.
