Seeing Through New Lenses: My First Steps Developing with Ray-Ban Meta AI Glasses

Summary

Friendly heads-up: this video contains a small amount of mild profanity.

This first day was focused on getting my glasses connected to my iPhone. I had a couple things to update: Xcode and myself on using Xcode. I haven't used Xcode in a while, so there was a learning curve while trying to get things connected. Luckily for me, I'm a quick learner, love reading documentation, and Claude exists to help me get through some boilerplate code. It took me about 3 hours to get my iPhone connected to my glasses from scratch. I recorded most of my development session—trimmed down to the ~5 minute YouTube vid above.

Sorry for the lowish quality. I forgot to update my video output settings while recording. Future videos will be sharper though!
