"Interestingly, the Co-Founders of the startup, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, are the same Harvard dropouts who developed the I-Xray app and integrated it with the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses. The app went viral because of a demo posted by Nguyen, where he highlighted how the smart glasses technology can be used to doxx (the act of revealing personal information about someone without their consent) people."
"Now, according to a TechCrunch report, the duo has created a pair of glasses which themselves pose a privacy risk to others. These smart glasses are reportedly equipped with a microphone that can continuously record the surroundings, including anything the owner and anyone around them says. The device is said to record audio, transcribe it, and then delete the audio file. However, the device lacks any indicator to let others know that they're being recorded."
Halo X is a pair of AI smart glasses with a display and built-in microphone that continuously records surrounding audio to enable instant recall of past conversations and information. The device transcribes recorded audio and reportedly deletes the original audio files while presenting chatbot responses as on-display text. The founders, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio, previously created the I-Xray app integrated with Ray-Ban Meta glasses, which went viral over doxxing concerns. The glasses lack visible recording indicators, and the company reportedly relies on buyers to seek consent where recording without consent is illegal. The device reportedly uses dual AI systems, including Google's Gemini and Perplexity.
