Frame glasses from Brilliant Labs is world’s 1st wearable tech with multimodal AI assistant

What are Frame Glasses?

The glasses come in three shades – black, white, and transparent and they also work with prescription lenses. It features a microOLED Panel for showcasing virtual reality. The nosepiece comes with a minute camera. On the other hand, the ear pieces seem like coins which are essentially just batteries. 

The batteries on the Frame glasses offer all-day battery life. When it comes to charging, the glasses recharge using an orange device Mister Power that resembles the shape of the nose. The device comes with a USB-C cable.

These unique glasses from Brilliant Labs can translate languages, and answer queries with the help of AI. Much similar to Humane AI’s AI Pin, the Frame Glasses can also tell you the amount of calories in a food item. 

Brilliant Labs is headed by former Apple executive Bobak Tavangar. In his statement, the CEO said, “Frame truly offers a new paradigm in the way humans interface with the digital world, and with each other.”

When it comes to the looks of Frame, the glasses draw inspiration from the spectacles once worn by legends Mahatma Gandhi, Steve Jobs, and John Lennon. It is stylish, lightweight, and mostly resembles the conventional round eyeglasses.

A new kind of AI assistant

Frame comes equipped with an always-on AI assistant known as Noa which is much similar to Jarvis from the ‘Iron Man’ series. According to the company, Frame not only transforms our perception of the world but also redefines our interactions with physical environments. According to Tavangar, Noa is a new kind of AI virtual assistant as it empowers users to engage more with the world around them. 

Noa reportedly adapts to the user’s interactions and evolves into a unique personality. The virtual assistant is capable of more than summarising pages and translating text into foreign languages. The device’s in-built multimodal generative AI allows it to manage multiple AI systems for fulfilling advanced tasks. 

“Our hope is that Frame enables people to connect with each other in entirely new ways, and opens up new experiences in everyday life, the workplace, the classroom, and more. This is the unique promise of bringing generative AI in front of the human eye,” he said. 

The AI glasses come with an integrated multimodal generative AI system that is capable of running GPT-4, Stability AI, and Whisper AI model all at the same time. Meanwhile, Noa works on real-world visual processing, real-time speech recognition and translation, and novel image generation. According to the company, Frame’s multimodality allows numerous AI models to collaborate, offering limitless possibilities in everyday life.
