Meta shipped millions of Ray-Ban smart glasses. Google, Samsung, and Apple are next. But building apps for AI glasses today means wrestling with raw device toolkits, native-only APIs, and custom media pipelines — for each OEM. We started building smart glasses apps two years ago, and quickly realized we were rebuilding the same infrastructure every time: camera access, real-time video relay, audio routing, AI processing. So we built RodCone — a cross-platform SDK and managed cloud that abstracts hardware complexity into a single multi-platform component. Drop in a view, select "glasses" as your source, and start handling multimodal AI events. This talk covers the architecture behind RodCone: how we designed a hardware abstraction layer that works across Meta (and soon Google) glasses, the managed Intelligence Cloud for video ingestion and AI processing, and the lessons learned going from agency project to developer platform.
