Mira Glasses

Founder @miraglasses. Human Augmentation @ Harvard.

Mira is a pair of audio-first smart glasses that listen to your day, transcribe every conversation into a private, searchable log, and surface the right context when you ask for it. Aimed at knowledge workers, students, and anyone tired of toggling between a phone and the people in front of them, the glasses pair with a ring for discreet input and a desktop app that keeps transcripts, documents, and memories accessible beyond mobile. The glasses start at $649 , with a prescription version at $799 , and the first 300 units shipping now and roughly 1,000 more arriving by January . The hardware deliberately omits a camera. All audio is deleted after transcription, and Mira has committed to not sell, share, or train on user conversations, a positioning meant to address the social discomfort that has shadowed face-worn devices. The frame weighs 39 grams, runs about 10 hours per charge, and includes a waveguide display that handles real-time captions and translation across 60 languages with sub-second latency. Connected to email, Slack, Notion, and messages, it can also act as an agent for tasks like sending follow-ups, updating calendars, or placing orders based on what it has heard during the day. The launch matters because it lands in a crowded moment for AI wearables, alongside camera-equipped competitors from Meta and a wave of pendants and pins, and it stakes out a different bet on memory and privacy rather than vision. Founders AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio met in Harvard's makerspace, where their earlier hardware experiments, including viral smart-glasses prototypes, drew more than 80 million views online. Nguyen leads the product experience, focusing on daily usability, comfort, and how the glasses feel to wear , and the company has raised $6.6 million in seed funding to ship the first wave of devices.
