Smart Glasses App Development

Smart Glasses & AI Glasses App Development for the next wearable platform

The display is moving from your hand to your line of sight. Apps for smart glasses put contextual, hands-free experiences where attention already lives, built for the hardware and platforms defining the category.

About this service

Our team designs and engineers apps for smart glasses and AI glasses, adding AI where it earns its place. We were an early partner on Meta's Wearables Device Access Toolkit, the SDK for glasses apps, and we've shipped on it since.

Dive Into The Smart Glasses Work We've Already Shipped.

Cross-industry Expertise Including:

Smart glasses are not a single market. These are some of the industries where the shift from screen to sightline changes the work first.

Our Process For Smart Glasses Apps

L+R prototypes the moments worth surfacing on your glasses, then ships a build that holds up off the bench.

What To Know About Smart Glasses App Development

The category, the platforms, and where to start.

  • Smart glasses are eyewear with a camera, microphones, and speakers built in. An app can see what you see, hear what you ask, and answer out loud. AI glasses build that around an always-available assistant, and some add a small display in the lens. Meta's lineup alone includes Ray-Ban Meta, Ray-Ban Meta Display, Oakley Meta, and Meta AI glasses.

  • The hands-free kind. Talking Point reads text aloud when you point at it, using 100% on-device AI. The DUMBO public art guide tells you about a sculpture while you're looking at it. On Ray-Ban Meta Display, Flight Status keeps your gate and boarding time in view. Each one is built for a moment when your hands are busy and your phone stays in your pocket.

  • The ones your users already wear, and let the interaction pick the hardware. Voice and camera first? Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta cover it. Something to read at a glance? You'll want a display in the lens. Our Ray-Ban Meta page goes device by device.

  • Still a short list, because the platforms only recently opened to developers. We're on it, with glasses from our own device library and our tooling for Meta's toolkit in the open.

  • We're a studio for emerging technology, with strategy, design, and engineering on one team. A lot of our smart glasses work is public. Our free browser simulator of Ray-Ban Meta Display, displayglasses.dev, lets you load a URL and see how it reads without owning a pair. Our tooling for Meta's toolkit is open source.

  • Either. We take smart glasses and AI glasses work end to end, from feasibility through App Store submission, starting with a scoped prototype you can wear. For a named platform, see Ray-Ban Meta. For everything else you can wear, see wearable tech. Have a concept already? Tell us about it.
