New AI ‘Always-On’ Smart Glasses With ‘Infinite Memory’

Two former Harvard students are preparing to launch a pair of ‘always-on’ AI smart glasses that record and transcribe every conversation, which offers wearers an unprecedented digital memory and real-time information, but which also raises concerns about privacy and surveillance.

Who Is Behind the Project?

The device, named Halo X, has been developed by AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, who left Harvard to pursue the venture. The duo previously made the news when they built a facial recognition app capable of identifying strangers using Meta’s Ray-Ban glasses. That earlier experiment was intended to highlight privacy risks, but their latest work shifts focus to turning wearable AI into a mainstream productivity tool.
