OpenGlass
OpenGlass is an AI smart glasses framework and microcontroller hardware project designed to turn standard eyewear into computer vision wearables. It provides a system for integrating wearable camera sensors with multimodal AI to process visual data in real time.
The project enables the development of AI-powered glasses that can identify people and objects, translate visual text, and record life events. It connects off-the-shelf electronic components to mobile software and large language models for visual analysis.
The system covers a range of capabilities including real-time visual stream processing and head-up display projection. It utilizes a combination of microcontroller-based hardware interfaces, wireless command protocols, and mobile-app orchestration to manage data flow between the wearable device and cloud-based vision inference.
