ℹ️ 🔴 We moved this project to Omi repository. Current repo isn't supported anymore =>
Turn any glasses into hackable smart glasses with less than $25 of off-the-shelf components. Record your life, remember people you meet, identify objects, translate text, and more.
We will ship a limited number of pre-built kits. Fill out the interest form to get notified.
Join the Based Hardware Discord for setup questions, contribution guide, and more.
Follow these steps to set up OpenGlass:
-
Gather the required components:
-
3D print the glasses mount case using the provided STL file.
-
Open the firmware folder and open the
.ino
file in the Arduino IDE.- If you don't have the Arduino IDE installed, download and install it from the official website.
- Alternatively, follow the steps in the firmware readme to build using
arduino-cli
-
Follow the software preparation steps to set up the Arduino IDE for the XIAO ESP32S3 board:
- Add ESP32 board package to your Arduino IDE:
- Navigate to File > Preferences, and fill "Additional Boards Manager URLs" with the URL:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
- Navigate to Tools > Board > Boards Manager..., type the keyword
esp32
in the search box, select the latest version ofesp32
, and install it.
- Navigate to File > Preferences, and fill "Additional Boards Manager URLs" with the URL:
- Select your board and port:
- On top of the Arduino IDE, select the port (likely to be COM3 or higher).
- Search for
xiao
in the development board on the left and selectXIAO_ESP32S3
.
- Add ESP32 board package to your Arduino IDE:
-
Before you flash go to the "Tools" drop down in the Arduino IDE and make sure you set "PSRAM:" to be "PSRAM: "OPI PSRAM"
- Upload the firmware to the XIAO ESP32S3 board.
-
Clone the OpenGlass repository and install the dependencies:
git clone https://github.com/BasedHardware/openglass.git cd openglass npm install
You can also use yarn to install, by doing
yarn install
-
Add API keys for Groq and OpenAI in the
keys.ts
file located at https://github.com/BasedHardware/OpenGlass/blob/main/sources/keys.ts. -
For Ollama, self-host the REST API from the repository at https://github.com/ollama/ollama and add the URL to the
keys.ts
file. The URL should be https://localhost:11434/api/chat -
go to terminal and type "ollama pull moondream:1.8b-v2-fp16"
-
Start the application:
npm start
If using yarn start the application with
yarn start
Note: This is an Expo project. For now, open the localhost link (this will appear after completing step 5) to access the web version.
