Frame
Frame is an open-source AI-first AR glasses platform designed for developers and consumers. Launched in 2024, Frame is a lightweight pair of AR glasses featuring a built-in AI assistant called Noa that integrates multimodal AI capabilities including GPT-4, Stability AI's Stable Diffusion, and Whisper for speech recognition. The glasses enable real-time visual analysis, web search, live translation, and image generation through voice and visual prompts. Designed to look like conventional eyeglasses, Frame supports prescription lenses and positions itself as an accessible entry point to AR glasses development with a focus on open-source architecture.
Monocle
Brilliant Labs' first AR device, Monocle is a lightweight single-lens AR attachment designed for developers and tech enthusiasts. Weighing 15 grams and measuring 43mm wide, it features a transparent design that can be attached to existing glasses. The device includes a small color OLED display, 5-megapixel camera, embedded microphones, and sensors, powered by a custom Lua-based operating system. Fully open-source under MIT license, Monocle serves as a proof-of-concept for accessible AR experimentation, enabling developers to prototype AR overlays and interact with AI models locally.
