Halliday AI glasses have shattered crowdfunding records on Kickstarter, raising an impressive $1.37 million within just 72 hours of launch—exceeding their initial target by a remarkable 6,861%. This achievement makes it the largest AR/AI glasses project in Kickstarter history, with funding now surpassing $3 million. This extraordinary success not only demonstrates the strong market demand for AI smart devices but also signals a new era for the AR/AI glasses industry.
At CES 2025, Halliday AI glasses distinguished themselves amid fierce competition in the crowded smart glasses segment. Their "ultralight design," "invisible AI experience," and "industry-leading battery life" attracted significant attention from domestic and international technology media. Senior executives from major Silicon Valley hardware companies were notably impressed during product demonstrations, offering high praise for both the technology and user experience.
The first-generation Halliday AI display glasses represent a collaborative development between the Halliday team and Gyges Labs. While Halliday focuses on brand building, user experience, and sales channels, Gyges Labs provides the core optical and AI technologies, including their proprietary DigiWindow display technology and Proactiva.AI capabilities, along with product implementation and supply chain integration. The Gyges Labs founding team brings expertise from prestigious institutions (Stanford, UCLA, Tsinghua University) and technology giants (Apple, Google, Hikvision). Using the world's smallest near-eye display module, images are projected directly into the user's field of vision, creating a truly "invisible AI experience." When paired with a smart interactive ring, users can discreetly access AI functions without drawing attention.
Domingo Deng, Co-founder & COO of Gyges Labs, commented: "We're honored to partner with Actions Technology to advance the AI glasses industry. Their impressive technical expertise and innovation in smart wearable chips have provided our AI glasses with both exceptional performance and precise power management—creating a solid hardware foundation for our product. We look forward to expanding our collaboration with Actions Technology across additional domains to explore the boundless possibilities of AI technology."
As the smart wearable chip provider for Halliday AI glasses, Actions Technology has been instrumental in the product's successful launch. Their chips deliver the perfect balance of high performance and low power consumption necessary for demanding AI applications. Through the chip's ultra-low power consumption design and GPU display driving features, combined with excellent AI noise reduction processing capabilities and robust Bluetooth compatibility, it offers users exceptional battery life, smooth seamless operation, and stable, clear Bluetooth connectivity and calling experiences.
Tim Zhang, General Manager of the Smart Wearable and Sensing Business Unit at Actions Technology, stated: "We deeply admire Gyges Labs' technological innovation and unique vision in personal AI hardware. The overwhelming popularity of Halliday AI glasses validates not only our chip performance but also the strength of our partnership. We're excited to deepen our collaboration with Gyges Labs to drive further innovation in smart wearable devices."
Actions Technology has established itself as a leader in Edge AI chip development. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve from cloud-based solutions toward edge computing, demand for Edge AI applications is growing exponentially. To meet the dual requirements of low power consumption and high computing performance, Actions Technology pioneered the Mixed-Mode SRAM-based Compute-in-Memory (MMSCIM) technology. Their latest products integrate a power-efficient AI acceleration engine within a heterogeneous architecture combining CPU, DSP, and NPU capabilities. These chips deliver an exceptionally energy-efficient AI computing platform for battery-powered AIoT applications, supporting healthy and rapid ecosystem development.
In the AI glasses segment, Actions Technology maintains its industry-leading position through partnerships with tech company like Gyges Labs, continuously exploring new application scenarios for AR/AI glasses. Currently, Actions Technology's ATS308X series smart wearable chips power exceptional experiences in products from several renowned global brands. The company is also preparing to launch its next-generation ATW6095 chip targeting the Edge AI wearable market, designed to provide even greater computing capabilities and energy efficiency for future AI-enhanced wearable devices.
Looking ahead, as AI technology rapidly evolves, AR/AI glasses are positioned to become one of the most significant hardware platforms for AI agents beyond smartphones, becoming an essential part of everyday life. Actions Technology remains committed to advancing low-power Edge AIoT chips, collaborating with partners to drive innovation in smart wearables and lead the industry toward a fully AI-integrated future. Meanwhile, Halliday AI glasses continue to set new benchmarks for the AI glasses industry, delivering an increasingly intelligent, secure, and personalized user experience.
