Is that the only device that this library could be used for?
Apple, Google, and even privacy-respecting companies are putting these out in the next year or two, as well.
What is the current take on that spectrum of offering?

It's scoped to the Meta Ray-Ban Display because that's the first mainstream glasses platform you can actually buy and ship apps for(Meta released the SDK a few weeks ago).
But the foundations are patterns every one of these devices shares, so when Apple, Android XR, or others ship, what changes is mostly a device profile (viewport, input, contrast, nav, device APIs) while the component and hook abstractions carry over.
The plan is to be the de-facto toolkit for the first real platform, then generalize as the others actually exist.
So yes I would love to support them as well :)
Regardless, the general sentiment about this hardware is obviously not great, anecdotally I know zero people who own these (or they at least refuse to wear them), and they are exceptionally rare in both US major metros I frequent.
Perhaps their popularity exists moreso in print than reality?
Can’t judge popularity until the stuff exists somewhat widely.
Most roadmaps are for 2026+,
so we’ll know if they’re popular by 2027.
I am very interested in the commercial uses (HUD while inside an electrical panel is a big one I’m looking at).
