Tech company Brilliant.xyz is pioneering AR/AI innovation with wearable smart glasses

Brilliant.xyz – GoDaddy customer – (Singapore)

Brilliant.xyz is the online home of Brilliant Labs, a tech company developing open-source gadgets, including wearable augmented reality (AR) devices. Founded in 2019 and part of the #GenXYZ community since its inception, Brilliant Labs fosters a community-driven approach by providing open-source software and encouraging collaboration among enthusiasts and developers. The innovative company aims to encourage individuals and foster creativity by exploring the potential of technology. We’ve previously highlighted the company’s notable funding milestones, including a $50K raise in May 2020 and a $3M seed funding in June 2023. By February 2024, the company’s total funding reached $6M.¹

Brilliant Labs initially made waves with Monocle, a compact, wearable open-source device designed to enhance computer vision and augmented reality projects. Monocle, which could be attached to existing eyewear, provided an extended vision capability with features like a 640×400 micro-OLED display, a camera sensor, and a capacitive touch sensor. Its integration with mobile phones via Bluetooth and user-friendly MicroPython programming language helped make it a versatile tool for AR enthusiasts.

Introducing Frame: AI-powered smart glasses

In February 2024, Brilliant Labs launched its latest innovation: Frame, a pair of smart glasses designed to deliver a suite of AI capabilities. Frame continues Brilliant Labs’ tradition of open-source software, making it possible for users to hack, build, and modify the device to their needs. ²Frame offers visual analysis powered by OpenAI, translation capabilities via Whisper, and live web searches through Perplexity. Unlike its predecessor, Monocle, Frame is designed to provide a more mainstream AR experience with a single head-up display over one eye and optional prescription lens inserts. AI functionality for Frame is managed through an external mobile app called Noa, which is aimed to integrate with services from companies like OpenAI. Early adopters can access these features free of charge with daily usage caps, while a paid tier will be introduced later for heavier users. You can learn more about Brilliant Labs and the Monocle by following the company on LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and Instagram, joining the Discord, and by visiting Brilliant.xyz.
