Abstract
Meta and Ray-Ban developed Meta Glasses, a wearable technology breakthrough. It creates hands-free Conversational User Interfaces (CUIs) through audio input, cameras, and audio output. These capabilities make them well-suited for professional applications in fields like veterinary medicine and quality assurance, where users must efficiently capture images, organize workflows, and access critical information without interrupting their tasks. This tutorial addresses the gap between academic research and practical applications of CUIs for wearable devices. It explains the Meta Glasses architecture and its potential for other systems. We focus on connecting the glasses to third-party applications, leveraging community-driven tools without an official SDK. Outcomes include practical strategies for connecting own systems, API limitations and privacy concerns. Participants will learn to design and implement CUI solutions for Meta Glasses in industrial and academic contexts. As we bridge theoretical concepts to real-world applications, the session empowers developers to innovate new solutions for wearable conversational technology.
