Developers and industry,
Meet AugmentOS SDK
Why build for smart glasses using AugmentOS instead of another mobile operating system? Because the AugmentOS SDK is the best way to write a smart glasses app:
- Your app immediately runs on any pair of smart glasses.
- Simple + fast dev - focus on building a great experience.
- Continuously access smart glasses I/O.
- Run always - run your app for days straight, guaranteed.
- Get seen - get your app in front of everyone using smart glasses.
Build AugmentOS Apps
Build AugmentOS Apps that connect seamlessly with smart glasses. The SDK makes it easy to write apps that smart glasses will stream data to, and accept data from to show on the glasses.
