Startup Brilliant Labs has announced a successor to its $349 open-source Frame smart glasses, which debuted early last year with features like AI-powered translations and the ability to identify what you were looking at.
For those needing prescription lenses for the Halo, the startup has partnered with SmartBuyGlasses.

Noa also has more control over the Halo glasses themselves, letting you mute the microphone or put them to sleep using expanded voice commands.
The startup says Narrative will allow its smart glasses to recall the name of someone you’ve met when talking to them again, and even access details from past conversations.
