Harvard leaked to launch “smart, artificially intelligent glasses

Two former Harvard students are launched a pair of the Acting Smart Glasses “always” that listens to every conversation, records and records it, then exposes the relevant information to its wearer in the actual time.

Anhphu Nguyen, co -founder, told HaloAn young company that develops technology.

Or, as his co -founder Cain Ardyfio said, the glasses “give you an endless memory.”

“Artificial intelligence listens to every conversation and uses this knowledge to tell you what you say … somewhat like Irl Cluely,” Ardyfio told Techcrunch. Startup that claims to help users “cheat” in everything From job interviews to school exams.

“If someone says a complicated word or asks you a question, such as,” What is 37 to the third power? “Or something like that, then it will appear on the glasses,” added Ardyfio.

Ardyfio and NGUYEN collected a million dollars to develop glasses, led by Bailar VC, with the support of Soma Capital, Village Global and MORNINGSIDE VENTURE. The glasses will be priced at a price of $ 249 and will be available for pre -order starting from Wednesday. Ardyfio called glasses “the first real step towards thinking about the atmosphere.”

Learning from Ivy League, who have since moved to their own version of Hacker Hostel In the San Francisco Bay area, it recently caused a stir after developing the face recognition application for Ray Ban glasses in Meta to prove that Technology can be used for DOX individuals. As a potential early competitor to Meta Smart Eglles, Ardyfio said, due to its history in security and privacy scandals, it had to curb its products in ways that Halo could finally benefit from.

“Meta does not have a great reputation for the user’s privacy, and for them to always issue something with you – which brings it clear that a lot of benefit – it is just a danger of a great reputation for them, most likely they will not take it before a start -up company first.”

Although Ngwin has a point, users may not have a good reason for confidence in the technology of two college agents who claim to send people to the world through secret registration equipment.

While Meta glasses have an indicator light when they monitor their cameras and microphones and listen as a mechanism to warn others that they are being recorded, Ardyfio said that Halo glasses, called Halo X, have no external indicator to warn people from registering their customers.

“For the devices we make, we want to be secret, like regular glasses,” said Ardyfio, who added that the glasses record every word, adding that the glasses record every word, copy it, and then delete the audio file.

Privacy advocates warn against normalizing secret registration devices in public places.

“Small and secrecy registration devices are not new,” said Eva Galberin, director of cybersecurity at Frontier Electronic Foundation.

“In some ways, this looks like a variation on the microphone spy pen,” Galberin said. “But I think that you always normalize the use of a registration device, which will require the user in many cases to obtain everyone’s approval of the registration distance, and eating away from the privacy that we have for our conversations in all types of spaces.”

there Several states in the United States This makes it illegal to register secret conversations without the approval of other people. Ardyfio said they are aware of this, but it is up to their customers to obtain approval before using glasses.

“We are confident of our users to obtain approval if they are in a state of approval,” said Ardyfio, referring to the laws of dozens of United States that require the approval of all registered parties.

“I will also be very concerned about where the registered data is kept, how they are stored, and who has access to them,” Galberene added.

Ardyfio said that Halo depends on Sonorx For audio copies, which claims not to store recordings. Noguyen claimed when the final product is released, and it will be encrypted from finish to finish, but he did not provide any evidence of how this is done. He also pointed out that Halo aims to obtain SOC 2 compliance, which means that he was independently audited and adequate protection for customer data. The completed SOC 2 compliance is not provided.

However, students are not new to controversial projects in privacy.

While he is still at Harvard University last year, Ardyfio and Nguyen developed I-XRAYAn experimental project that added the possibilities of facial recognition to the Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses, showing the ease of installation of technology on a device that does not aim to identify people.

The duo did not issue the symbol behind I-XRAY, but they tested glasses on random passers-by Without approval. In a trial video, ARDayfio showed glasses that discover faces and withdraw strange information for strangers within seconds. The video was characterized by reactions for people who were suffering from Doxed.

in Interview with 404 media, And they confessed to the dangers: “Some of the elegant people can find the title of the house of some of the girl on the train and only follow them to the house.”

Currently, Halo X glasses only have a screen and microphone, but there is no camera, although the two explore the ability to add it to a future model.

Users still need their smartphones within reach to help operate glasses and obtain “actual time information and answers to questions” for each Najin. The glasses, which are manufactured by another company that the startup company is not called, is linked to an accompanying application on the owner’s phone, where the glasses use external sources of computing due to the lack of sufficient energy to do this on the device itself.

Under the cap, Gemini smart glasses use Google and confusion as a Chatbot motor, according to the founders. They said that Gemini is better for mathematics and logic, while they use confusion to abide by the Internet.

In an interview, Techcrunch asked if their glasses know when the next season of “The Witcher” will appear. In response to a way that reminds us of C-3PO, Ardyfio said: “The Witcher will be launched in the fourth season on Netflix in 2025, but there is no accurate date yet. Most of the sources expect this in the second half of 2025.”

“I don’t know if this is true,” he added.
