All these glasses have so many layers of abstraction I don't want between something I develop and the display.
Let me connect via bluetooth direct to the glasses with anything and just tx/rx via a serial port and some low level protocol to get pixels/text on the screen.
This is also the only way I'd be able to buy a pair and feel safe it won't be able to be bricked in 2 years when some company shuts their server down and ends support.
> I just stopped having to look down at the keyboard Maybe the next step is an app for people who don't read sheet music; it would light up the keys on the keyboard that you need to press, when you look at it...? Same for guitar, highlight where to put your fingers on a fret for each chord.
Various products have done this over the years. Forget app, actual keyboards and guitars that light up. It’s not a good way to learn.
It's true that it's not a good way to learn, but it's fun for a little while.
That's why an app on glasses for this is better than a complete alternative instrument; the app is much cheaper and should work with any real instrument.
Really awesome project! I’m reminded of something else in the AR/music space from a few years back. Someone made a VR passthrough app to project synthesia-style keyboard overlays onto your actual piano keys. Always cool to see what new hardware can enable. Congrats!

I am so unbelievably excited for consumer-grade, useful AR. There was a lot of hype around VR, but for the last 10 years I've been following progress on AR glasses. The thing about AR is that it has the ability to enhance everything in your daily life, versus VR which is meant to be a separate experience. Both Meta and Samsung are due to put out consumer AR glasses later this year and I think this might be the first…
Unlike you i think the potential is rather in business and work. Useful info when needed.
Nice work. From the Github: > This allows the pianist to not have to turn pages, and more importantly, allows them to see the music and their hands at the same time, which is an unavoidable problem with traditional sheet music. I could definitely see this being beneficial for beginners. When I lived in a dormitory during uni I often played familiar pieces from memory pretty late on a digital piano (with headphones) i…
How many people still look at the keyboard when typing? At some point, you just don't need to look at whatever it is your doing. Also, at some point, you memorize the music if it's something you are playing enough. What level of pianist is reading sheet music and looking at their hands at the same time.

Just bought a pair of the Mentra Mach1 glasses, let's see how they pan out.
Any workaround for those needing prescription glasses?

You can get prescription inserts from Vuzix, but they're pretty bad. If you need a prescription, and want to run AugmentOS, your best bet is to buy the Even Realities G1 instead.
