Request: Open Source Protocol Specification for Smart Glasses Communication

zengjie commented 3 weeks ago

Hey there awesome glasses team! 👋

I've been tinkering with your smart glasses and diving into the protocol (super cool BLE UART implementation btw!). Got me thinking - what if we opened up the protocol specs?

Why This Would Be Awesome 🚀

More Apps, More Fun!

Right now we're limited to the official Flutter app
Imagine apps in Swift/SwiftUI for native iOS
Pure Kotlin apps for Android enthusiasts
Maybe even some crazy React Native experiments
Web Bluetooth API stuff for Chrome
Python scripts for automation nerds
Rust for the performance obsessed 🏃‍♂️

Community Magic ✨

Developers love building cool stuff
We could have a whole ecosystem of apps
Different use cases we haven't even thought of
Bug fixes and improvements from the community
More eyes = better security

What Could Be Shared 📝

Just the basic protocol stuff:

BLE service/characteristic UUIDs
Packet structure
Commands list
Basic examples

The Dream 🌈

Imagine a GitHub org with:

Protocol docs
Example apps in different languages
Community projects showcase
Maybe even a Discord for devs

Similar Success Stories 🌟

VR folks did this with OpenXR
Philips Hue has a thriving dev community
Logitech's gaming peripherals
All the cool kids are doing it! 😎

What do you think? Would love to help make this happen and even contribute some example implementations!

Hello Zengjie,

Thank you for sharing your advices and good ideas. We do have a plan to open more ble protocols to the community. I think you can find the BLE service/characteristic UUIDs and basic examples in the code currently. BTW, nRF Connect is a nice tool to play with it. Have fun!

It's fantastic to hear about the plans to open up more BLE protocols. I’m eager to dive into the service/characteristic UUIDs and explore what’s possible. And thanks for the tip about nRF Connect—I’m excited to experiment with it!

Here's my Python code which has display text successfully.

Looking forward to more exciting updates.

This is interesting, maybe besides the text part. I can try to work on some graphic library to display bitmaps or something. Unfortunately, my unit is currently back to even reality for prescription update

Thanks a lot! This is exactly what I need for my iOS project.

Seconded, in re: importance of packet structure, command list, and protocol docs.

Regarding a dev discord, an unofficial one has been spun up at https://discord.gg/erMMztg7
