Brilliant Labs is a pioneering technology company that produces open-source eyewear featuring artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2019 by Bobak Tavangar, a former Apple program lead, Brilliant Labs has always been driven by a vision to integrate AI capabilities into glasses, providing consumers with 'visual superpowers.' The company's open-source platform fosters innovation, enabling creators to access the code and develop new applications for their devices.
In January 2024, Brilliant Labs launched its groundbreaking product, Frame. These glasses, designed to resemble those worn by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, are indistinguishable from regular eyeglasses and can be worn by those needing prescription lenses. Frame glasses are equipped with audio capabilities, featuring a voice assistant named Noa and an AI search engine called Perplexity. Brilliant Labs innovative product arrived at a time when other companies were also venturing into similar technology, including AI Pin from Humane, R1 from Rabbit, and Vision Pro from Apple. Before introducing Frame, Brilliant Labs had released the Monocle, an augmented reality (AR) lens that could be attached to traditional glasses and also utilized open-source software.
Brilliant Labs continues to push the boundaries of technology, blending the everyday utility of eyewear with the transformative potential of artificial intelligence.
