Day 3: metastream

i'll talk some more around the privacy and ai topics around the smart glasses, but i will say that they are very nice as a decent quality POV / hands free camera which i find much more interesting than the 'ai features' - for now.

however, they are constrained by a 3 minute recording duration and until recently, no SDK to expand and explore. that has finally changed this last month:

GitHub - facebook/meta-wearables-dat-ios: Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit for iOS

Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit for iOS. Contribute to facebook/meta-wearables-dat-ios development by creating an account on GitHub.

the SDK lets you mock the glasses or stream directly without the 3 minute limitation.

for day 3, i've forked the repo and created a mac companion app and the ability to stream between the two.

i will work on this some more soon with the goal of performance improvements (as there's some tearing and artefacts now) and allowing the glasses to be used as a camera input on the mac for obs/video calls etc.

you can see my repo here and try it out for yourself:

note: currently it needs actual glasses to trigger the video stream - i'll fix this tomorrow so it can use the video demo mode - going to sleep now :)
