Frame
Frame is an open-source AI glasses platform with a camera, display, Bluetooth, audio, and developer APIs.
Frame is wearable hardware that connects to a host device over Bluetooth. It can capture photos, display text and graphics, stream audio, detect motion, and run Lua applications on-device.
Developers use the Frame SDK through Python, Flutter, or WebBluetooth to build AI and augmented-reality apps. Frame requires compatible host software and does not provide a standalone web AI service; current hardware or service pricing was not confirmed.
Features
- Captures photos with an onboard camera
- Displays sprites, text, and bitmaps
- Communicates with host devices over Bluetooth Low Energy
- Runs user applications in an on-device Lua 5.4 VM
- Supports IMU sensor data and tap events
- Streams audio between Frame and host applications
- Provides Python, Flutter, and WebBluetooth SDKs
- SDK released under the BSD-3-Clause license
Use cases
- Build AI vision assistants that capture images and return captions
- Display navigation pins, notifications, or contextual text
- Prototype augmented-reality interfaces with Lua and Bluetooth
- Stream audio and sensor data to custom mobile applications
- Develop wearable experiments using the Python, Flutter, or WebBluetooth SDKs
