Halo is an open-source smart glasses platform that merges a see-through color microOLED display, bone conduction speakers, and on-device AI. At its core is the Alif B1 processor with a dedicated neural processing unit, enabling low-power, real-time AI inference. The glasses run ZephyrOS with a Lua scripting layer, giving developers full access to both hardware and software.
A companion AI agent named Noa provides multimodal interaction—it understands what you see, hear, and say. Noa maintains context across conversations, learning preferences and recalling past interactions to deliver a personalized experience. Users can query Noa about objects, get translation, fitness tips, or gardening advice simply by looking and asking.
