Meta Releases Public Preview of Wearables Device Access Toolkit for Smart Glasses Developers

Meta has released a public preview of its Wearables Device Access Toolkit (DAT), allowing developers to integrate smart glasses camera and audio capabilities into iOS and Android applications. Announced at Connect 2025, the SDK enables apps to capture photos or initiate video streams from supported glasses, with maximum resolution limited to 720p at 30 FPS due to Bluetooth constraints. Currently supporting Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta HSTN models, the toolkit will soon add support for Oakley Meta Vanguard and Meta Ray-Ban Display, though the latter’s support is restricted to receiving imagery without HUD display. While developers can test the integration, they cannot yet ship these features for general public use. Early adopters like Twitch, Microsoft, Logitech Streamlabs, Disney, and 18Birdies are experimenting with first-person livestreaming, AI navigation aids, and real-time golf yardage assistance.
