alt Hacker NewsReally nice project.
Would be interesting to dive a bit deeper where this 3s latency comes from. I assume the bitmaps have been pregenerated so I guess it's just the turnaround time when accessing the AugmentOS servers?

A lot of the time is from the glasses themselves, but apparently Mentra talked to the Even CEO and next gen bitmaps will be much better
The 3 seconds of latency is writing a bitmap image from the phone to the smart glasses over BLE. It's very fast to send text, but slow to send bitmaps.
For text, everything is fast - the AugmentOS servers introduce <350ms round trip latency in most places/countries.
In next-generation glasses, this will be a lot faster because of better bitmaps handling, BMP encoding schemes, and also pre-loading of BMPs.
