Then the hardware arrived, but the software did not.
Until now. Now you can build apps for smart glasses.

What Will You Make With AugmentOS?
AugmentOS lets developers and hackers build AI apps and agents for smart glasses.
Using the AugmentOS-SDK, make apps like an AI tour guide, super memory tools, exam cheating, chest master helper, face recognition name memory, video streaming, Shazam, speech coach, AI assistants, and so much more.
With our cloud SDK, you can write a Typescript/Javascript/Python app, and have it displaying on your smart glasses in under 15 minutes.
If you can dream it, you can build it for smart glasses with AugmentOS.
