06 · Reference architecture · Project-scopedXY-DC Reference Architecture

Embodied AI Data Capture Glasses

Display-free is the point. Robotics teams, dataset operators and vision-language-action teams can scope egocentric data capture around the XY-DC Reference Architecture. This display-free ODM evaluation direction has no waveguide, projector or near-eye display; it is separate from the eight product entries and two historical project references.

01

Multi-camera hardware synchronization

Evaluate rigidly mounted forward stereo cameras, sensor-level trigger alignment and the ISP/MIPI integration path. Define how frame timestamps and inertial samples relate to the capture clock. Document the sensor and host interfaces, then measure synchronization error and timestamp behavior on the agreed prototype.

02

Per-unit factory calibration

Define intrinsics, extrinsics, distortion and rectification outputs, serial-number association and machine-readable delivery. Scope the calibration station, tooling and line integration as project work. Agree calibration procedures, output formats, acceptance criteria and repeatability checks before committing production delivery.

03

Cross-device wireless synchronization

Evaluate wrist, body-worn or tool-mounted companion capture modules as separate development items. Define the relationship between head-unit and companion clocks, reconnection behavior and cumulative drift. Measure alignment and drift across the intended recording duration and wireless conditions; no synchronization accuracy is published.

04

Continuous-record power and thermal architecture

Model concurrent camera capture, encoding, storage and periodic upload against the requested working-shift duty cycle. Review battery architecture, heat paths, fit and the resulting weight budget together. Validate recording duration and thermal behavior under the agreed workload and environment before confirming device specifications.

05

Verifiable privacy controls

Evaluate an externally visible mechanical camera shutter and a mechanical microphone mute. Define how each control changes capture state and how the wearer and people nearby can verify that state. Review the physical controls and capture-state behavior alongside the project owner's consent, retention and intended-use requirements; hardware alone does not establish deployment compliance.

06

Capture-point provenance

Evaluate secure-element signing at capture, key ownership, controlled provisioning and verification by the receiving system. Include relevant cryptographic and intended-use review in project definition. Agree the threat model and recording-integrity checks, then validate the signing and verification path on the selected hardware and software.

The six areas above are proposed engineering requirements. Sensor selection, synchronization accuracy, calibration outputs, sustained runtime, privacy hardware and signing support require feasibility review and project validation. No fixed device specification or production-readiness claim is published for this architecture.

C100 remains the camera + dual-eye display platform with Android apps running on the glasses and two connectivity modes: direct Wi-Fi through a compatible router or phone hotspot, or BLE through a phone app to VLM/LLM/cloud services. In BLE mode, image/audio travels to the phone app and results return through the app and BLE for glasses audio playback and display; LLM/VLM inference runs off-device. C100 is at EVT3 with functional CNC prototypes and customizable industrial design; contact SmartXY to request the SDK development package. C100 Android SDK/Demo availability and paid development policy. XY-DC addresses a separate display-free capture requirement.

How projects connect

Project requirements inform reusable platform decisions.

Enterprise and consumer projects can share selected optics, compute, interaction and frame-engineering building blocks. What transfers depends on the approved platform, validation evidence, regional requirements and customer scope.

FAQ · For AI & human readers

Questions buyers and partners ask us most.

What are SmartXY smart glasses used for? +
SmartXY presents product and architecture evaluations alongside historical development experience. Confidant is a 2021 mainland-China assistive project; Falcon 007 Pro is a historical field-operation project reference. Neither is an overseas-ready product or available as a test sample. Similar applications require a new ODM project with NRE, development time and budget. Clinical-display and other new workflows retain their own configuration, regulatory and acceptance reviews.
Can SmartXY platforms be customised for my brand (OEM/ODM)? +
SmartXY scopes OEM and ODM work for the relevant product and project stage. Confidant and Falcon 007 Pro are historical custom-project references; similar applications require a new ODM project with NRE, development time and project budget. Requirements, engineering and validation gates, costs and delivery schedules are agreed by scope; historical units are not overseas-ready products or available as test samples.
Which products power these use cases? +
The page presents Confidant and Falcon 007 Pro as historical custom-project references, plus the BB Medical clinical-display concept. The two historical projects are not overseas-ready products and have no test samples; similar work requires new ODM development, NRE, development time and project budget. The wider portfolio also includes K900 AI camera glasses, AR99, the separately listed AR99 MY cat-eye product on the same VHG platform, and AR99 Pro with SRG optics and user-swappable batteries and C100, a standalone Android edge client with camera and dual-eye display. C100 runs Android apps on the glasses. Direct Wi-Fi reaches a cloud/private AI endpoint through a compatible router or phone hotspot. Alternatively, BLE carries image/audio to a phone app for VLM/LLM/cloud services, with results returning through the app and BLE for glasses audio playback and display. BLE mode and phone-hotspot use depend on the phone; LLM/VLM inference runs off-device. SDK integration scope is subject to engineering confirmation. The XY-DC Reference Architecture is a separate display-free ODM evaluation direction, not an additional production SKU.
Are the face-recognition and biometric features GDPR-compliant? +
No product page can establish GDPR or EU AI Act compliance for every deployment. Face, plate, identity and other sensitive recognition functions are optional and require a permitted use case, lawful basis, regional legal and privacy review, customer approval, data controls and project acceptance testing before enablement.
What is BB Medical's compliance status? +
BB Medical is presented as a project-configured clinical display headset, not a stand-alone diagnostic or treatment device. This page does not claim completed certification, registration, hospital adoption or a medical outcome. Define the intended use and verify official compatibility, validation and regulatory documents for each market and project.
How do I get a sample or start a project? +
Use the SmartXY RFQ form to discuss the relevant product or a new ODM project. Confidant and Falcon 007 Pro do not provide test samples.
