The full story

A maker worked out how to control a pair of custom smart glasses with Claude Code. It can pair with them over Bluetooth, take and analyse photos and videos, transcribe audio messages into notes, and check battery and storage levels.

The maker says this beats products like Meta Ray-Bans because Claude Code can carry out multi-step tasks, such as sending the day's photos to family or emailing audio transcriptions. The post gives no further detail of how the glasses were connected.

What this is. Real projects where people used Claude to build, fix, port, revive or take apart something, from jailbroken Kindles to rebuilt DOS games, plus the times it went badly wrong. Every build links to where it was shared, and every source is listed here.

How far to trust it. We summarise what people reported and say what each build rests on: a full write-up with code, a short post, or a passing comment. We haven't tested them ourselves. Photos are shown from the original sources with credit. Only modify hardware you own, and back up first.

Privacy. No accounts. Analytics cookies (Google Analytics) only if you accept them; no ads or cross-site tracking. Searches are counted anonymously (just the words) to show what's popular, and so are clicks on Ask Claude (just the count).
