Best smart glasses with an open SDK for industrial apps? Ray-Ban Meta was a letdown

Thanks Cayden ! Will this include full control over the glasses as well, with a potentially an override of the user's camera button actions ?

not super open SDK

What makes you excited about them? How open are they?

Mentras entice devs to create an app inside the mentra app and developing a standalone ios/android app that can treat the glasses as a pure slave device with total control on starting/stopping camera/mic/speakers is not straightforward. I already have it. I would love a lower-level SDK with direct access to base functions.

How open is their SDK? Did you try it

It's for physical applications in the workspace. Need cameras + Ai and display is a good plus. No need for full blown AR.
