TechWeb] reported on February 9 that AI glasses developer Brilliant Labs announced the launch of Frame, the world's first glasses that integrate a multimodal AI assistant. Frame redefines not only the way you see, but also the way you interact with the physical world, and it's designed to look like real glasses.
Brilliant Labs also received its latest round of funding, and its latest notable investor is the CEO of AR pioneer Niantic.
Founded in 2019 by former Apple employee Bobak T**Angar and co-founders Raj Nakarja and Ben Heald, Brilliant Labs is dedicated to reimagining human-computer interaction by developing generative AI-embedded glasses. Since its inception, Brilliant Labs has attracted $6 million in funding to date.
NOA: Personalized multimodal AI assistant.
Frame's NOA is a one-of-a-kind all-weather AI assistant. Underneath the façade, a privacy-preserving knowledge graph analyzes the composite interactions between users and AI assistants, allowing NOA to not only provide a personalized user experience, but also form its own personality.
For example, tasks and requests may include summarizing the main points of a book and then translating the foreign language text in the book into your preferred language; Organize whiteboard meetings into shareable documents to share with colleagues; Identify the problem and recommend ready-made ointments; Even a healthy amount to drink daily is recommended based on the nutritional value or caffeine content in a cup of coffee.
It is even possible to take full advantage of the multimodal GenAI capabilities built into the glasses, which means that Frame can organize multiple AI systems together to accomplish more advanced tasks.
Announced a partnership with Perplexity, a popular platform for AIGC, on real-time search.
With the ability for users to connect to the digital world while leaving their hands free, Brilliant Labs has announced its first-ever partnership with Perplexity to rethink and define traditional search engine concepts in the age of AI-enhanced eyewear. Perplexity is based on the first-of-its-kind LLMS and its AI Q&A engine can answer verbal queries instantly and concisely, without being constrained by questions that lag behind in the knowledge of similar products. As a result, FRAME users can access real-time, reliable information from the web, anytime, anywhere, hands-free.
For example, now adding Perplexity to NOA's multi-modal feature, Frame can compare a piece of clothing in a retail chain to a ** on Amazon with a simple eye turn; When viewing a property, just glance at the house and you can search for it on a shell-like property app; Or when you need to do your own home repairs, NOA can help you lock and cross-reference the correct screws you need to complete your project; You can even instantly check out the reviews of every restaurant you pass by, while also being able to cross-reference it for recent negative press ......The possibilities are endless.
Frame truly brings a new paradigm to the interaction between humans and the digital world, and between people and each other. NOA, a new AI virtual assistant that allows users to participate more in the world around them than in isolation from the physical world. We want Frame to enable people to connect with each other in new ways and open up new experiences in their daily lives, workplaces, classrooms, and more. This is a unique promise to bring GenAI to the eyes of humanity. Bobak T**Angar, CEO and co-founder of Brilliant Labs, said.
The future of human-AI interaction will be embodied in innovative wearables and new devices, and I'm excited to bring Perplexity's real-time Q&A engine to Brilliant Labs' frame," said Ar**Ind Srinivas, CEO and Founder of Perplexity.
Characteristics of the frame: The appearance is indistinguishable from that of everyday eyewear products.
Unlike other enhanced wearables on the market, the frame is more than just smart glasses that you have to take off after an hour or two. The frame itself is a pair of optical glasses that can completely replace the glasses you wear every day, just providing a lightweight personal AI assistant.
Lightweight AI Glasses - Manufactured using engineering-grade nylon plastic, the frame is optimized to weigh only 39 grams, which is as light as standard glasses, yet rugged and suitable for all-day wear;
Sleek Design - Presenting a classic retro look, available in smoky black, matte cool gray and a transparent variant named H2O, it adds a stylish element to the everyday style;
Vivid Display - Frame's high-resolution vivid display brightness up to 3000 nits;
Front-facing space camera - Frame integrates a low-power machine vision camera that accurately captures and interprets the physical world around it;
Integrated microphone - control or communicate with your AI assistant via voice input for a hands-free experience;
Multimodal AI - Wirelessly connects to your phone via Bluetooth 5 and supports simultaneous GenAI input such as Perplexity, Stability AI and Whisper, providing advanced solutions to real-world problems; If FRAME is listed in China, NOA will support local LLMS in accordance with the relevant jurisdictions, including Wenxin Yiyan;
6DOF IMU - The state-of-the-art 6-axis IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) located in the nose bridge** position provides the frame with three acceleration axes and three compass axes for menu navigation, step counting, orientation, and more;
Custom Prescription Optics - Partnering with AddOptics allows prescription lenses to be precisely bonded to frames through a unique optical lens casting process.
Continue the open source model to support developers.
True to the promise of Brilliant Labs open-source devices, Frame will follow the example of its predecessor, Monocle. Accordingly, Brilliant Labs will provide full support for developers interested in modifying or cracking Frame's hardware and software, including real-time documentation, open-source** libraries, and hardware schematics. In addition, developers can adjust the parameters of the AI models supported by NOA.
