# OpenGlass - Open Source Smart Glasses
Turn any glasses into hackable smart glasses with less than $25 of off-the-shelf components. Record your life, remember people you meet, identify objects, translate text, and more.

## Getting Started
Follow these steps to set up OpenGlass:
### Hardware
1. Gather the required components:
- [Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32 S3 Sense](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C69FFVHH/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
- [EEMB LP502030 3.7v 250mAH battery](https://www.amazon.com/EEMB-Battery-Rechargeable-Lithium-Connector/dp/B08VRZTHDL)
- [3D printed glasses mount case](https://storage.googleapis.com/scott-misc/openglass_case.stl)
2. 3D print the glasses mount case using the provided STL file.
3. Open the [firmware folder](https://github.com/BasedHardware/openglass/tree/main/firmware) and open the `.ino` file in the Arduino IDE.
- If you don't have the Arduino IDE installed, download and install it from the [official website](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software).
- Alternatively, follow the steps in the [firmware readme](firmware/readme.md) to build using `arduino-cli`
4. Follow the software preparation steps to set up the Arduino IDE for the XIAO ESP32S3 board:
- Add ESP32 board package to your Arduino IDE:
- Navigate to File > Preferences, and fill "Additional Boards Manager URLs" with the URL: `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json`
- Navigate to Tools > Board > Boards Manager..., type the keyword `esp32` in the search box, select the latest version of `esp32`, and install it.
- Select your board and port:
- On top of the Arduino IDE, select the port (likely to be COM3 or higher).
- Search for `xiao` in the development board on the left and select `XIAO_ESP32S3`.
5. Before you flash go to the "Tools" drop down in the Arduino IDE and make sure you set "PSRAM:" to be "PSRAM: "OPI PSRAM"

6. Upload the firmware to the XIAO ESP32S3 board.
### Software
1. Clone the OpenGlass repository and install the dependencies:
```
git clone https://github.com/BasedHardware/openglass.git
cd openglass
npm install
```
You can also use **yarn** to install, by doing
```
yarn install
```
3. Add API keys for Groq and OpenAI in the `keys.ts` file located at [https://github.com/BasedHardware/OpenGlass/blob/main/sources/keys.ts](https://github.com/BasedHardware/OpenGlass/blob/main/sources/keys.ts).
4. For Ollama, self-host the REST API from the repository at [https://github.com/ollama/ollama](https://github.com/ollama/ollama) and add the URL to the `keys.ts` file.
5. Start the application:
```
npm start
```
If using **yarn** start the application with
```
yarn start
```
Note: This is an Expo project. For now, open the localhost link (this will appear after completing step 5) to access the web version.
