Gyges Labs Completes New Round of Financing for World's First All-Day Wearable Invisible Display AI Glasses | Exclusive Report by Yingke
Hard Kr has learned that the AI wearable technology company "Gyges Labs" recently announced the completion of a new round of financing. This round of financing was jointly participated in by Granite Asia and Brilliant Capital. The funds will be used for the R & D of new products and investment in the supply chain.
Gyges Labs was founded in 2022 and is committed to continuously releasing and developing various intelligent wearable technology devices. Its products combine technological breakthroughs with practicality in different scenarios. The company's headquarters is located in Singapore, and its software and AI teams are based in Silicon Valley, USA. Leveraging the advantages of the Chinese supply chain, it possesses unique technologies such as advanced optics and active AI.
The founding team members graduated from well - known universities at home and abroad (Stanford, UCLA, Tsinghua University, etc.) and have previously worked for well - known enterprises both in China and overseas. CEO Jia Jieyang participated in the development of the world's first AR smart contact lens in Silicon Valley. COO Deng Xudong has over 10 years of experience in the global consumer electronics industry. CTO Dr. Lü Zheng participated in the R & D of Apple Vision Pro. Chief Scientist Dr. Qi Siyuan once worked at Google, and his research results have been published in international journals and conferences such as sub - journals of Science. 80% of the company's employees are R & D personnel.
In January 2025, Gyges Labs jointly released its first product, Halliday Glasses (AI glasses with hidden display capabilities), with Halliday. After its launch, it became the largest crowdfunding project for AI glasses in history and the world's first AI glasses with hidden display.
Display, but not expose
When COO Deng Xudong of Gyges Labs was interviewed by Hard Kr, he said that hidden display means that the displayed content is directly projected onto the retina without the need for reflection through the lens, and the displayed content is only visible to the wearer. This is thanks to the company's self - developed DigiWindow technology based on the principle of retinal projection. Therefore, the wearer can naturally leverage the power of digital technology without being noticed by the outside world. Applicable scenarios include AI translation, reading speeches, checking WeChat messages, converting audio into meeting minutes, navigation, etc.
Compared with optical solutions such as Birdbath and optical waveguide, DigiWindow technology has also created the world's lightest and smallest near - eye display optical solution. This technology enables the display module to have a minimum volume of 2x2x2 millimeters, which can be easily integrated into ordinary eyeglass frames, making smart glasses light, compact, and energy - efficient.
Halliday weighs only 28g, has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and supports a range from farsightedness to 800 degrees of myopia. Deng Xudong said that the advantage of Halliday lies in solving the problem that smart glasses are difficult to wear all day long. "It looks exactly the same as ordinary glasses."
Deng Xudong introduced that another core technology of Halliday is active AI. Gyges Labs has developed an AI engine specifically tailored for wearable devices. "It can proactively generate the information that may be needed according to different scenarios, rather than the traditional passive response." Currently, Halliday is mainly sold overseas. Deng Xudong said that there are plans to launch it in the Chinese market in the future.
When talking about future development, Deng Xudong revealed that in the smart glasses category, Gyges Labs will continue to open up its optical capabilities, AI capabilities, and the capabilities of the solutions established for the industry to partners. In addition, Gyges Labs is also exploring the possibilities of more wearable smart devices. "Glasses are a good entry point, and at the same time, we are exploring other forms to see how to achieve the perfect state of computing, display, and interaction." Deng Xudong said that the company will gradually launch various intelligent wearable products, including independently operating rings, starting from 2026 to further meet the diverse daily needs of users.
Investors' views:
Chen Yusi, a partner at Granite Asia, said: Edge - side AI is becoming the next super - entry point for consumer technology, and Gyges Labs has precisely hit the core of this trend. The team combines top - notch technological vision with practical implementation capabilities. Instead of piling up functions, they integrate AI naturally into daily scenarios and transform cutting - edge AI into portable intelligence that everyone can use. This is exactly the core logic of our investment in the industry.
Luo Tingxia, the founding partner of Brilliant Capital, said: As a new - generation investment institution focusing on the trend of technology consumerization, we are committed to discovering and accompanying companies that can define the future. Gyges Labs is a perfect embodiment of this concept. When the smart glasses industry is still exploring its form, they have accurately positioned themselves at the next - generation human - machine interaction entry point with their forward - looking insights into the two core experiences of "hidden" and "active". The team's excellent product - defining ability and practical and efficient execution ability make us firmly believe that they have the ability to transform technological advantages into extensive user value. Investing in Gyges is an important bet on the future human - machine interaction paradigm.
