How Devs Are Building Web Apps For Meta Display Smartglasses in Less Than 30 Minutes With No Code - Oscar Falmer

About this episode

Get a front row seat to the conversations about AI, AR smartglasses, and the future of enterprise technology from Augmented World Expo 2026.

Oscar Falmer has spent eight years helping developers build for wearables — at Meta and at other companies doing interesting work in the space. As developer advocate for things like smartglasses, his job is to lower the floor for anyone who wants to build for AI smartglasses, whether they write code for a living or picked up an AI coding agent on a weekend.

The Meta Display Glasses use the familiar Ray-Ban form factor with a monocular waveguide display on the right side. Pair them with the Meta Neural Band — an EMG wristband that reads electrical signals from your wrist to recognize gestures — and you have a device that lets you interact with content without lifting your phone or draining your battery through computer vision.

Key Moments:

• [00:01:27] Meta Display Glasses hardware: monocular waveguide display, 70 grams, Neural Band gesture control, and why battery efficiency matters for all-day wear.
• [00:05:21] Web apps for Meta Glasses: how the platform opened one month ago and why power users — not just developers — are the ones shipping fastest.
• [00:06:06] The constellation app: star maps using GPS coordinates and IMU sensors, location-based context without full spatial tracking.
• [00:11:46] Personal software is here: why AI coding agents and HTML/CSS/JavaScript make it possible to go from idea to running glasses app in 30 minutes.
• [00:15:50] The Go-Giver playbook: how Oscar's open-source AR glasses dataset went from a single spreadsheet to C-suite circulation and a job at Meta.

Oscar builds community the same way he builds tools: share what you know, keep it open, and trust that the right people will find it. His AR glasses dataset — started when he was between jobs, shared for free — was being passed around at the highest levels of enterprise XR before anyone knew his name.
