Camera glasses have cameras for photo and video capture, but may not have displays. Mentra Live is the primary example.

Mentra Live

  • Camera: 1080p with streaming
  • Display: No
  • Microphone: Yes (with VAD)
  • Speaker: Yes
  • Buttons: Yes (press, double press, long press)
  • LEDs: RGB + white privacy light
  • WiFi: Yes

Building for Camera Glasses

Use capabilities to detect camera-equipped hardware and adapt the rest of your app experience.
Camera capture, photo upload, and camera streaming are documented in the standalone Mentra Bluetooth SDK docs.

Camera And Streaming

Request photos and start camera streams from supported smart glasses.

Audio-First Interactions

Without displays, use voice, buttons, and LEDs for feedback.

WiFi Connectivity

Best Practices

  • Provide clear audio feedback because camera glasses may not have displays.
  • Use button shortcuts for quick actions.
  • Use LEDs for brief status indicators when available.
  • Always check capabilities before enabling hardware-specific flows.
