C100 · Direct Wi-Fi

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.

Runtime path
Wi-Fi access through a router or hotspot; no companion phone app required. A phone hotspot depends on that phone.
Display role

C100 · BLE via phone app

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.

Runtime path
Phone app, BLE connection and a phone network route to the selected AI service are required.
Display role
Image/audio input from the glasses; results return over BLE for audio + AR display

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.

Two ways to connect C100 to AI services

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.

Mode 1 · Direct Wi-Fi

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.

Wi-Fi access through a router or hotspot; no companion phone app required. A phone hotspot depends on that phone.
  1. Activate

    Start the interaction through the activation method confirmed for the project.

  2. Capture + encode

    Prepare the permitted camera or audio context for the agreed integration.

  3. Wi-Fi uplink

    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.

  4. Model inference

    The connected cloud or private endpoint performs VLM or LLM inference.

  5. Display + audio

    Return the result over the Wi-Fi connection to the glasses for the project’s display and audio experience.

Mode 2 · BLE via a phone app

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.

  2. BLE to phone app

    Send the selected image or audio data from the glasses to the phone app over BLE.

  3. VLM / LLM / cloud

    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.

  4. BLE to glasses

    The phone app sends the returned result to the glasses over BLE for audio output and display content.

  5. Audio + display

    Present the returned response through the glasses’ audio and AR display for the configured application.

Evaluate the selected path with your application: image/audio payload formats, transfer rates, phone compatibility, end-to-end latency, power and thermal behavior are confirmed for the agreed device build.

Start with a CNC prototype. Build with the SDK.

Build and test your local B2B application with a C100 functional CNC prototype and the standard Android SDK / Demo. We welcome overseas brands, system integrators, application developers and enterprise teams exploring workflows that need the camera and display together.

C100 is at EVT3. Use the free standard Android SDK / Demo to develop your own Android app and evaluate the available camera and display functions. Functional CNC prototype arrangements are separate; confirm the device build and package contents with our team.

Android SDK access and paid customization

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.

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 customization NRE starts at USD 3,000. NRE means non-recurring engineering. Payment is required before modification work begins.

Any C100 SDK modification, feature change or special SDK requirement requires paid development. SmartXY makes no modifications before the agreed development fee is paid. The final quotation depends on the agreed scope.

SmartXY does not provide an iOS SDK or Demo for C100. Paid customization does not include an iOS SDK or Demo.

Discuss paid SDK customization

The package review establishes the supported device build, integration scope and deliverables for your application.

For a method to separate available interfaces, planned APIs and project acceptance criteria, read Vanda’s personal SDK evaluation guide and use her SDK evaluation tool.

Real-time camera streams for your own applications

C100 brings camera capture, an AR display and a standalone Android runtime together for customer-developed industry applications. Real-time camera-stream access is planned for the SDK / API release so overseas developers can build their own local apps and custom computer-vision workflows.

From the initial product design, C100 has considered graphene heat spreading together with thermal insulation film to support stable temple operation during sustained video streaming. This thermal design and the camera + display application path are priorities we continue to refine together.

SmartXY reports stable temple operation during prototype continuous video streaming. Plan a sustained-load evaluation with your camera settings, app, network, ambient conditions and intended session duration; acceptance is agreed for that device build.

Refining C100 comfort, from materials to measurement

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.

Rear temple surface at the ear-contact area46°C to 41°C5°C lower in this prototype iteration

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.

Graphene heat spreading

Trial a conductive path that spreads heat away from local hot spots.

Thermal insulation film

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.

C100 is SmartXY's standalone Android camera + AR smart-glasses platform for live AI agents. C100 supports two connection modes: standalone Android over direct Wi-Fi, or BLE through a phone app. In direct Wi-Fi mode, Android apps run on the glasses. Its own dual-band Wi-Fi reaches cloud or private AI services 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 compatibility requires validation. MTK8766 / ATS6095 image or audio data → BLE → phone app → VLM / LLM / cloud service → phone app → BLE → glasses audio + display. VLM and LLM inference runs off-device. C100 combines a Sony IMX681 (12MP) camera with 1080p recording at 30 fps and a 0.08-inch single-green binocular Micro-LED display with 25° FOV and 640 × 480 resolution per eye. 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 reference configuration includes dual-mode Bluetooth 6.0, 5 digital microphones and left/right stereo speakers. Device weight is 45 g and the protection grade is IP44. The battery is removable with an external charging case; capacities and external dimensions are confirmed per project. C100 is at EVT3, with functional CNC prototypes available for evaluation and customizable industrial design for mass-production projects. Battery replacement does not interrupt operation. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Does C100 need a smartphone to run an AI agent?

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.

Is C100 suitable for a live AI agent, hardware-wise?

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.

What audio hardware and voice features does C100 provide?

The current C100 specification lists 5 digital microphones, left and right stereo speakers, and voice recognition support. The ATS6095 audio SoC includes a 504 MHz Cadence Tensilica HiFi5 DSP and an MMSCIM NPU listed at 100 GOPS. Microphone and processing interfaces, recognition behavior and the intended acoustic environment are reviewed for each application and device build.

How do we request the C100 SDK development package?

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.

What does custom C100 SDK or feature development cost?

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.

Does SmartXY provide an iOS SDK or Demo for C100?

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.

Camera Stream Access: Does the C100 SDK allow access to a real-time camera stream for custom computer vision processing?

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.

Does C100 run an LLM on the device?

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.

Can we use our own AI model?

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.

How long does C100 run a live agent session?

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.

Does C100 get hot during continuous camera use?

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.

How is glance-to-answer latency evaluated?

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.

Can C100 work without Wi-Fi?

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.

How does C100 compare to audio-only AI glasses for agent use?

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.

What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

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.

Where do integration requests go?

Request the free standard C100 Android SDK / Demo through the dedicated SDK contact entry, or email vanda@topaiglasses.com. Customers develop their own applications using the unchanged standard package. For SDK or feature modifications, submit a paid-development brief: NRE starts at USD 3,000 and the agreed fee must be paid before modification work. No iOS SDK or Demo is provided. Functional CNC prototype access and delivery are arranged separately. Include your target market, camera and display workload, network environment, session duration and application architecture.
