According to Investment Circle, AI wearable technology company Gyges Labs recently completed a new round of financing, with Granite Asia and Brilliant Capital participating. The funds will be used for new product development and supply chain construction.
Founded in 2022 and headquartered in Singapore, Gyges Labs has its software and AI teams located in Silicon Valley, USA, and leverages supply chain resources in China for hardware development. The company focuses on smart wearable devices, involving technologies such as optics and proactive AI.
The founding team members come from prestigious universities such as Stanford, UCLA, and Tsinghua University, and have worked for domestic and international technology companies. CEO Jia Jieyang participated in the development of the world's first AR smart contact lenses; COO Deng Xudong has over 10 years of experience in the consumer electronics industry; CTO Lü Zheng participated in the development of Apple's Vision Pro; and Chief Scientist Qi Siyuan previously worked at Google, with his research published in international journals and conferences. Approximately 80% of the company's employees are engaged in research and development.

The term "invisible display" refers to the display content being projected directly onto the wearer's retina, visible only to the wearer. This feature is based on the company's self-developed DigiWindow retinal projection technology and is applicable to scenarios such as AI translation, viewing speech drafts, message notifications, meeting minutes, and navigation.
Compared to solutions like Birdbath and waveguides, DigiWindow technology achieves a smaller near-eye display optical solution, with a minimum display module size of 2×2×2 mm, which can be integrated into ordinary eyeglass frames. Halliday weighs approximately 28 grams, has a battery life of up to 12 hours, and supports prescriptions from farsightedness to myopia up to 800 degrees.
Halliday also features an active AI engine designed specifically for wearable devices, capable of generating necessary information based on different scenarios, rather than providing traditional passive responses. Currently, Halliday is primarily sold overseas, and the company plans to enter the Chinese market later. (Compiled)
