MentraOS is an open-source operating system and development platform for smart glasses, providing pairing, connection management, data streaming, and hardware access across multiple glasses models. It includes a Miniapp SDK and Bluetooth SDK so developers can build apps with live captions, AI conversations, photo capture, and livestreaming on compatible hardware.
Use cases
- build apps for smart glasses without handling device-specific pairing and streaming
- add live captions for deaf or hard-of-hearing users on glasses
- create hands-free AI copilots for technicians and field workers
- stream the wearer's point of view for remote support video calls
- capture photos and document work hands-free with a camera on glasses
- write one miniapp that runs on multiple brands of smart glasses
- integrate Mentra Live glasses into an existing Android or iOS app
When to choose
- you want a write-once-run-on-any-glasses platform with an MIT license
- you are building AI assistant or transcription experiences for wearables
- you need enterprise smart glasses deployments for field operations
- you want full open-source control over your glasses OS and data
When to avoid
- your glasses model is not on the supported hardware list
- you need a fully custom low-level firmware or embedded OS for your own hardware
- you only target a single vendor's closed ecosystem like Meta or Apple Vision Pro
