Global AI Eyewear Development Partner

Custom AI Eyewear Development

From Concept Design to Mass Production

Build an eyewear product around your users, your brand and your application. SmartXY connects product design, hardware, software and manufacturing in one development programme.

01 / WHY SMARTXY

Why SmartXY

Shenzhen R&D brings the product and engineering disciplines together. Dongguan manufacturing connects that work to production preparation and delivery.

ID

Industrial Design

Product identity, form, fit and brand expression.

MD

Mechanical Design

Frame structure, hinge, assembly and serviceability.

EE

Electrical Engineering

Electronics, power, sensors and connectivity.

FW

Firmware

Device behavior, power management and updates.

SDK

SDK Integration

Versioned interfaces and application handover.

MP

Mass Production

Manufacturing preparation, pilot builds and agreed quality gates.

Agree the product configuration, technical responsibilities, deliverables and acceptance criteria at each stage. Production starts after the required design, validation and commercial approvals.

02 / PLATFORM CHOICE

AI Eyewear Platform

Three platforms for different markets. Select the wearer experience first, then agree the hardware configuration and application integration.

A

Mass Market

AI Audio Camera Glasses

Camera and open-ear audio eyewear for consumer brands building everyday capture, listening and connected experiences.

  • ≤45gReference configuration
  • 8h AudioAudio playback
  • Prescription Support
  • Open-ear
  • Camera Optional
  • OTA

Confirm the reference configuration, fitted lens weight and audio test conditions for your project. Runtime varies with volume, calls, camera use and connectivity; 8h audio does not mean 8h video or continuous AI use. OTA scope is specific to the selected platform and firmware.

B

Enterprise Applications

Enterprise AI Display Glasses

Bring useful information into the wearer’s field of view and connect it to an enterprise workflow.

  • Translation
  • Remote Assistance
  • Training
  • Industrial

Applications require the agreed software, host and network integration. Camera-free display models do not provide a wearer camera feed. Camera-and-display projects require a separately selected configuration and validation.

C

Fashion-first AI eyewear

Mimosa Female AI Eyewear

Eyewear for women and fashion-led brands, with the frame, fit and wearer experience at the center of the product.

  • Luxury
  • Lightweight
  • Prescription
  • Fashion

Coordinate frame design, materials, finish, prescription fitting and the chosen electronics. AR99-MY is a separate display product configuration; its optics, weight and battery figures do not transfer to Mimosa audio eyewear.

03 / ENGINEER FOR EVERYDAY USE

AI Eyewear Engineering Standard

Reliability Lab

Evaluate the mechanical, power and acoustic behavior of the selected design. Our reliability testing covers the following areas.

  1. 01

    Hinge Test

    Evaluate repeated opening, retention and mechanical wear against the agreed cycle and loading criteria.

  2. 02

    Battery Test

    Measure runtime, thermal behavior and power performance under the selected use profile.

  3. 03

    Charging Test

    Evaluate charging behavior with the selected battery, connector, case and power accessories.

  4. 04

    Sweat Test

    Evaluate sweat exposure and material resistance for the selected frame, coatings and interfaces.

  5. 05

    Acoustic Test

    Evaluate playback, voice pickup and sound leakage with the selected fit and acoustic setup.

The project test plan records the configuration, method, conditions, acceptance criteria and results. Test capability is not a claim that every product or configuration has passed the same test, and does not replace market-specific certification.

04 / A PROGRAMME FOR A DISTINCT PRODUCT

Premium ODM Development Program

Starting from:

USD 800,000 NRE

NRE means non-recurring engineering. This programme is for highly customized AI eyewear products requiring coordinated product, hardware, software and manufacturing development.

Discuss the Premium ODM Program

Development scope

  • ID — Industrial Design
  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Firmware
  • SDK
  • Manufacturing development

A project-specific quotation defines deliverables, payment milestones, inclusions, exclusions, schedule and validity. Tooling, production hardware, certification, cloud services and ongoing support must be explicitly scoped.

This starting NRE applies to the Premium ODM programme. Standard-platform purchasing, logo branding and existing SDK policies retain their own commercial terms.

05 / CONNECT HARDWARE TO THE APPLICATION

SDK Platform

Four layers to define the software handover and integration responsibilities. Confirm the versioned package, interfaces and licensing per platform before development begins.

01

Hardware SDK

Device access and control

Pairing, capture, sensors, device events and update interfaces where supported by the selected hardware and firmware.

02

AI SDK

Application intelligence

Connect the chosen AI service and define audio, vision or display workflows. Confirm device, phone and cloud processing responsibilities.

03

Cloud SDK

Service connections

Scope authentication, cloud APIs, data transfer and service operation with the selected provider. Cloud usage and hosting are separately agreed.

04

Enterprise SDK

Deployment integration

Scope application integration, device-management requirements, access controls and fleet operations for the customer environment.

These layers describe integration scope, not a promise that every SKU exposes every interface. Source-code licensing, AI services, cloud hosting and long-term maintenance are agreed separately. C100 camera-stream APIs remain planned; its unchanged standard Android SDK/Demo policy remains separate.

START WITH THE PRODUCT YOU WANT TO BUILD

Your next AI eyewear programme starts with a clear brief.

Share the user task, target market, preferred platform, software team, pilot volume, timing and budget range. We can then scope the engineering and manufacturing work.

Contact an engineer

Custom AI eyewear combines product definition, engineering and manufacturing. Compare an AI glasses ODM engagement with standard-platform OEM purchasing. Smart glasses manufacturer capabilities support the production stage; AR glasses development also needs optical and application validation. For an AI wearable ODM China project, define the target market, integration owner and acceptance plan from the start.
