Brilliant Labs, a trailblazer in the technology industry, specializes in producing open-source eyewear featuring cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI). Founded in 2019 by Bobak Tavangar, a former Apple program lead, the company is driven by a vision to provide consumers with "visual superpowers." By leveraging an open-source platform, Brilliant Labs empowers creators to access the company's code and develop innovative applications for their devices.

In January 2024, Brilliant Labs introduced its first flagship product, Frame glasses. These glasses, reminiscent of those worn by Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, are designed to be indistinguishable from regular eyeglasses, catering to those who wear prescription lenses. Equipped with an advanced voice assistant named Noa and an AI search engine called Perplexity, Frame glasses offer a seamless blend of style and functionality.

The release of Frame glasses comes in the wake of other smart eyewear products like Humane's AI Pin, Rabbit's R1, and Apple's Vision Pro. However, Brilliant Labs distinguishes itself through its commitment to an open-source platform, fostering continuous innovation and customization. Prior to Frame glasses, the company made significant strides with the Monocle, an augmented reality (AR) lens that attached to traditional glasses, further solidifying their reputation as pioneers in the field.

With a focus on enhancing user experience and pushing the boundaries of technology, Brilliant Labs is set to continue leading the charge in AI-integrated eyewear, paving the way for a future where eyewear does more than just improve vision—it enhances life.
