All these glasses have so many layers of abstraction I don't want between something I develop and the display.

Let me connect via bluetooth direct to the glasses with anything and just tx/rx via a serial port and some low level protocol to get pixels/text on the screen.

This is also the only way I'd be able to buy a pair and feel safe it won't be able to be bricked in 2 years when some company shuts their server down and ends support.

AugmentOS is open source, so feel free to self-host, or even reference our communicator code in our repo to interact with the glasses directly via BLE.

This is an inferior means of development, however.

By going through AugmentOS, you get a much easier development experience, compatibility with multiple pairs of glasses (through both iOS and Android), and the ability to run multiple glasses apps simultaneously.
