Compare the application host and network path. C100 supports direct Wi-Fi and BLE through a phone app. The audio-only and display-only examples below are conceptual comparisons, not claims about every product in those categories.
In this architecture example, the wearable provides audio input and output while a phone hosts the application and network path.
In this architecture example, the glasses provide a display while a phone supplies the selected application or network connection.
In direct Wi-Fi mode, MTK8766 hosts the Android application on C100, paired with the ATS6095 audio/Bluetooth SoC. The glasses reach a cloud or private model endpoint through a Wi-Fi router or phone hotspot. Model inference remains off-device.
Image or audio data from the C100 MTK8766 / ATS6095 system travels over BLE to the phone app. The app calls the VLM, LLM or cloud service, receives the result and sends it over BLE to the glasses for audio and display. This mode uses the phone app and the phone’s network connection; the glasses do not need a direct Wi-Fi link to the AI service.
Provisioning method is subject to project confirmation. Direct Wi-Fi runs the Android app on C100; BLE mode uses a phone app. Phone-app pairing and connection behavior are reviewed for the selected integration. LTE or eSIM feasibility is subject to project confirmation.
Choose direct Wi-Fi from the glasses or BLE through a phone app. Both paths send captured context to a VLM, LLM or cloud service and return results to the glasses for audio and display.
Direct Wi-Fi: the Android app runs on C100; no companion phone app is required. BLE via phone app: the phone app and its network connection are part of the AI workflow. Using a phone hotspot in direct Wi-Fi mode still depends on that phone.
C100 → Wi-Fi router or phone hotspot → VLM / LLM / cloud service → Wi-Fi → C100 audio + display.
The Android application runs on the glasses and reaches the service through home or office Wi-Fi, a phone hotspot, or a compatible public Wi-Fi network. A companion phone app is not required in this mode. Using a phone hotspot still depends on that phone; public Wi-Fi login and authentication compatibility require validation.
Start the interaction through the activation method confirmed for the project.
Prepare the permitted camera or audio context for the agreed integration.
Glasses → Wi-Fi router or phone hotspot → cloud/private AI endpoint → glasses. Cloud services need internet access; a private endpoint needs a reachable network route. Public Wi-Fi login, authentication and network compatibility require validation for the intended device build.
The connected cloud or private endpoint performs VLM or LLM inference.
Return the result over the Wi-Fi connection to the glasses for the project’s display and audio experience.
MTK8766 / ATS6095 image or audio data → BLE → phone app → VLM / LLM / cloud service → phone app → BLE → glasses audio + display.
Image or audio data from the C100 MTK8766 / ATS6095 system travels over BLE to the phone app. The app calls the VLM, LLM or cloud service, receives the result and sends it over BLE to the glasses for audio and display. This mode uses the phone app and the phone’s network connection; the glasses do not need a direct Wi-Fi link to the AI service.
Prepare image or audio data from the C100 dual-chip system. MTK8766 remains the main controller; ATS6095 handles audio and Bluetooth.
Send the selected image or audio data from the glasses to the phone app over BLE.
The phone app sends the context to the selected VLM, LLM or cloud service using the phone’s network connection. The service returns its result to the phone app.
The phone app sends the returned result to the glasses over BLE for audio output and display content.

EVT3 prototype development · Development update
Graphene heat spreading and thermal insulation film were considered from the start of C100 product design. Stable operation at the temples during sustained video streaming is a key engineering priority. We continue to refine heat transfer, material layout and the surfaces that touch the wearer.
In this prototype development iteration, SmartXY reports a temperature reduction from 46°C to 41°C at the rear temple surface where the glasses contact the ear, observed with a visual infrared thermometer.
This is a separate development-stage temperature observation, not a continuous-streaming test result or a guaranteed operating temperature. Results depend on workload, ambient conditions, wear duration and measurement setup. Evaluate the intended camera + display workload on your prototype.
Trial a conductive path that spreads heat away from local hot spots.
Trial an insulating layer to reduce heat transfer toward wearer-contact areas.
The first two photographs document material preparation and infrared observation, with display framing focused on the working area. The third image is an AI-retouched CNC prototype presentation, not thermal-test evidence. The thermometer photo records a separate observation; it is not a paired before-and-after record of the 46°C to 41°C result. Select a photo to view it larger.
We continue to refine the material layout, thermal interfaces and wearing experience, using prototype feedback to guide the next iteration.

The standard C100 Android SDK and Demo are supplied free for evaluation and customer-led development. SmartXY makes no modifications without a paid development engagement. SDK feature changes or special requests require NRE starting at USD 3,000, paid before modification work begins; the final quotation depends on scope. No iOS SDK or Demo is offered. SmartXY can provide a glasses-side SDK and an Android phone-side SDK for C100; customers can use the glasses-side SDK to develop and validate connectivity and system compatibility with PCs and other IoT devices.
It depends on the connection mode. In direct Wi-Fi mode, the Android app runs on C100 and no companion phone app is required. The glasses connect through home or office Wi-Fi, a phone hotspot, or a compatible public Wi-Fi network. Using a phone hotspot still depends on that phone; public Wi-Fi login and authentication compatibility require validation. In BLE mode, a phone app receives image/audio data from C100, calls the VLM/LLM/cloud service and returns results over BLE to the glasses for audio and display. This mode requires the phone app and its network connection. The provisioning method is subject to project confirmation.
C100 combines a Sony IMX681 (12MP) camera with 1080p recording at 30 fps, 5 digital microphones, left/right stereo speakers and a 0.08-inch single-green binocular Micro-LED display with 25° FOV. “One Platform” refers to one C100 product integrating AI, camera and AR. C100 uses an ATS6095 + MTK8766 dual-chip system. MediaTek MTK8766 is the main controller and Android 11 application host; ATS6095 handles audio and Bluetooth. Application, network, power and thermal workloads must be evaluated together.

The standard C100 Android SDK and Demo are provided free for evaluation and customer-led development. Without a paid development engagement, SmartXY supplies the standard package unchanged and customers develop their own applications. Request the standard Android SDK / Demo through the dedicated C100 SDK contact entry or email vanda@topaiglasses.com. SmartXY does not provide an iOS SDK or Demo for C100. Paid customization does not include an iOS SDK or Demo. SDK or feature modifications require prepaid NRE starting at USD 3,000; the final quotation depends on scope. SmartXY can provide a glasses-side SDK and an Android phone-side SDK for C100; customers can use the glasses-side SDK to develop and validate connectivity and system compatibility with PCs and other IoT devices.
SDK modifications, feature changes and special SDK requirements require paid development for every C100 customer. NRE (non-recurring engineering) starts at USD 3,000; the final quotation depends on the agreed scope. SmartXY begins modification work only after the agreed development fee has been paid. Without payment, customers receive only the unchanged standard Android SDK / Demo and develop their own applications.
No. SmartXY does not provide an iOS SDK or Demo for C100, including as a paid customization. The free standard package is Android only. This SDK delivery policy does not change the two connection paths described on this page; it does not establish iOS app support for the BLE path.
The standard Android SDK and Demo are available free for evaluation and customer-led development. The specific C100 camera-stream APIs described here remain a planned release for local Android apps and custom computer vision. Confirm the interface, image or stream format, video settings, release timing and sustained-load validation with our engineering team. The development demonstration does not establish that a named API is already released. Any SDK changes or special feature requirements require paid NRE starting at USD 3,000, with payment before modification work. No iOS SDK or Demo is provided.
C100 uses an ATS6095 + MTK8766 dual-chip system. MediaTek MTK8766 is the main controller and Android 11 application host; ATS6095 handles audio and Bluetooth. The ATS6095 reference includes a CIM NPU for local AI processing; this chip specification does not establish on-device VLM/LLM support. VLM/LLM inference runs off-device at the connected service, reached directly over Wi-Fi or through the BLE-connected phone app. Local workloads and SDK interfaces are confirmed per project.
A customer-controlled model endpoint can be evaluated for the integration. Transport, authentication, deployment region, data handling and response formats must be agreed and tested. Compatibility with a particular service or API is subject to engineering confirmation.
Runtime depends on capture duty cycle, encoding, the selected Wi-Fi or BLE/phone-app path, display, audio, ambient conditions and battery configuration. The current specification lists a removable battery with an external charging case; battery and case capacities are confirmed per project. Battery replacement does not interrupt operation. Live-agent runtime requires validation with the agreed workload.
The camera-stream demo setup uses 1080p at 30 fps with a bitrate of 3,000,000 bps (3 Mbps). SmartXY reports lower temperature and less heating at 720p in this streaming setup. Graphene heat spreading and thermal insulation film were considered from the start of C100 product design to support stable temple operation during sustained video streaming. SmartXY reports stable operation in prototype streaming work; camera settings, application, network, ambient conditions and session duration need validation for your build. The separately reported 46°C to 41°C ear-contact surface observation is not a continuous-streaming test result or a guaranteed temperature. Thermal thresholds and callback availability require engineering confirmation.
Validate activation, image/audio capture, the selected connection path, endpoint inference and the return to the glasses for audio and display. Direct Wi-Fi measurements include the router or hotspot. BLE-mode measurements also include both BLE transfers, phone-app processing and the phone’s service connection. Test with documented network, model, region and environmental conditions.
Yes. In BLE mode, the glasses send image or audio data to a phone app over BLE; the app reaches the VLM/LLM/cloud service through the phone’s network and returns results over BLE for audio and display. The glasses do not need a direct Wi-Fi link in this mode. Direct Wi-Fi mode instead uses a router or phone hotspot; public Wi-Fi login and authentication compatibility require validation. Cloud services need internet access, and a private endpoint needs a reachable network route. This BLE path still needs the phone app and a service connection. LTE or eSIM feasibility and any offline functions are confirmed per project.
Compare the required display, camera, application host and network path. C100 combines camera and AR display and supports both standalone Android over direct Wi-Fi and BLE through a phone app. In the BLE path, the phone app calls the AI service and returns results to the glasses for audio and display. A phone-assisted audio-only architecture routes its selected workflow through a phone without requiring a display; these conceptual examples do not describe every audio-glasses product.
C100 is at EVT3, with functional CNC prototypes available for evaluation. Industrial design can be customized for a mass-production project. Quantity, schedule, tooling, software scope and validation gates are agreed per project.
