Listen "Why These AI Glasses Beat Big Tech"
Episode Synopsis
Bobak Tavangar, co-founder of Brilliant Labs, joins the show to unpack Halo, the lightweight open-source AR glasses built for AI-first computing. Unlike camera-heavy smart glasses designed for social media, Halo focuses on continuous low-power sensing, on-device AI inference, and full-day wearability—turning an AI agent into a true “second brain.” Bobak explains how Halo handles privacy by discarding raw media and storing only embeddings, why open source is critical for innovation, and how developers are already building real-world applications across healthcare, construction, manufacturing, and robotics. He breaks down the tech stack behind real-time multimodal AI, memory recall, and “vibe coding,” a natural language way to create apps without writing code. The conversation also explores pricing strategy, hardware trade-offs, business models, and where AR input and display technology must evolve next. Listeners will learn what it actually takes to build meaningful AI glasses and where the industry is heading in 2026–2027.Subscribe to XR AI Spotlight weekly newsletter 👉 https://xraispotlight.substack.com/***CONNECT WITH BOBAK💼 Linkedin🔗 Website ***CONNECT WITH ME🐤X (Twitter) 💼 Linkedin🔗Link-in Bio ***PAST EPISODES🎙️ Show Website🟢 YouTube🍎Apple Podcast
