The '''Brilliant Labs Frame''' is an open-source AI-powered [[smart glasses]] device developed by [[Brilliant Labs]]. Released in 2024 starting at $419, the Frame weighs just 40 grams and features a 640 x 400 micro-OLED display in the right lens with approximately 20-degree field of view, integrated camera and microphone for AI interaction, and all-day battery life. The glasses connect to the Noa app for AI-powered features including ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Whisper integration, enabling visual question answering, live translation, and real-time internet queries. Notably, Frame is entirely open-source with all design files, code, and documentation available on GitHub, and the device runs Python via pip-installable SDK.<ref name="brilliant">{{cite web|url=https://brilliant.xyz/products/frame|title=Frame|publisher=Brilliant Labs}}</ref>
The '''Brilliant Labs Frame''' is an open-source [[augmented reality]] AI glasses device developed by [[Brilliant Labs]], announced and released in February 2024 at $349. Representing a unique approach to AI-powered wearables, Frame combines a lightweight design (39-40 grams—within the normal eyeglasses weight range of 25-50 grams) with AI capabilities powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Whisper, accessed through the Noa companion app. The glasses feature a 0.23-inch micro-OLED display bonded to a geometric prism optic, providing approximately 20° diagonal field of view with 640 × 400 resolution in the right eye—comparable to viewing an iPad held at arm's length. What sets Frame apart is its fully open-source software, with all design files, code, documentation, and tools available on GitHub, allowing developers and enthusiasts to customize functionality and build new applications. Key AI features include real-time language translation (text and speech), image recognition, internet queries, and voice-activated assistance. The glasses include a built-in camera and microphone for multimodal AI interactions, require no speaker (audio responses via paired wireless earbuds), and charge through the included "Mister Power" magnetic charging case. Available in three colors including a distinctive translucent variant that reveals internal components, Frame targets tech enthusiasts and developers seeking an affordable, customizable AI glasses platform.
