AI Glasses Compiler

Compiles HoloScript to AI glasses platforms — Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Android XR glasses, and Apple AI glasses. Unlike full VR headsets, AI glasses are always-on, hands-free, and ambient: they overlay information on the real world while the wearer moves naturally.

Overview

The AI glasses compiler (--target ai-glasses) generates platform-appropriate output for the thin-client wearable glasses tier. These devices have:

No controllers — input via voice, head-pose, hand gestures, eye gaze
Always-on display — semi-transparent overlays on real world
Edge inference only — lightweight models, no heavy GPU
Tight battery budget — experiences must be < 5W total
Social context — other people can see you wearing them

bash

holoscript compile experience.holo --target ai-glasses --glasses-platform snap --output ./glasses/

Supported Platforms

Platform	Device	SDK	Output Format
`meta-raybans`	Meta Ray-Ban Stories	Meta View SDK	JavaScript + HTML
`snap`	Snap Spectacles 3	Lens Studio (Snap OS)	Lens Script + AR
`android-xr-glasses`	Android XR glasses	Android XR SDK	Kotlin + Jetpack
`apple-ai-glasses`	Apple AI glasses	visionOS Light	SwiftUI + ARKit
`generic`	Generic OpenXR glasses	OpenXR + WebXR	C++ / JS

Trait Profile for AI Glasses

AI glasses have a restricted trait set due to hardware constraints:

Trait	Support	Notes
`@voice_activated`	✅ Full	Primary input method
`@eye_tracked`	✅ Full	Foveated attention, gaze selection
`@billboard`	✅ Full	Text/info always facing user
`@spatial_audio`	✅ Full	3D audio via bone conduction / earbuds
`@anchor`	✅ Full	World-locked info anchors
`@llm_agent`	⚠️ Edge	Lightweight quantized model only
`@physics`	❌ Skip	Too GPU-heavy for glasses
`@particle`	❌ Skip	Battery cost too high
`@networked`	✅ WiFi	Sync via companion app
`@hitl`	✅ Full	Glasses are a primary HITL interface

Example

holo

composition "WorkplaceAssistant" {
  template "InfoLabel" {
    @billboard
    @anchor
    @voice_activated

    geometry: "plane"
    scale: [0.3, 0.15, 0.001]
    color: "#0088ff"
    opacity: 0.85
  }

  agent "WorkplacePilot" {
    @llm_agent
    @voice_activated
    @eye_tracked

    on_gaze_dwell(target, duration: 1.5) {
      info = llm.identify(camera.frame, target)
      spawn "InfoLabel" at gaze.hit_point with { text: info }
    }

    on_voice("help me with this") {
      llm.assist(camera.frame)
    }
  }
}

Design Principles for AI Glasses

3-second rule — any response must appear within 3 seconds of intent
Glanceable — information readable in < 1 second
Dismissible — everything disappears on voice or gesture
Battery aware — use @low_power trait for ambient experiences
Social — no content that embarrasses the wearer in public

Compiler Options

Option	Default	Description
`--glasses-platform`	`generic`	Target platform (see table above)
`--glasses-edge-llm`	`false`	Include edge LLM inference bundle
`--glasses-battery-budget`	`5`	Max Watts; trims heavy traits
`--glasses-companion-sync`	`false`	Generate companion phone app sync code
