Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 + Claude AI: A Practical Setup for Vibe Coders If you already have Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses, an iPhone, and a Mac, they can become much more than a camera and Bluetooth headset. You can use them as a hands-free input device for AI, remote coding, content ideas, client notes, and day-to-day assistance. What the glasses are good for out of the box Hands-free photos and point-of-view video Open-ear audio for calls, music, podcasts, and voice messages Voice commands for texts, calls, reminders, and messaging Meta AI for visual questions, translation, and basic everyday tasks Useful for content creators, outdoor activities, client walkthroughs, and capturing ideas while your hands are occupied The more interesting option: Claude instead of Meta AI There is an open-source project called OpenGlasses that can route the glasses’ microphone and camera context to alternative AI models, including Claude. Project: https://github.com/straff2002/OpenGlasses In principle, this lets you create voice personas such as: “Hey Claude” for brainstorming, business questions, scripts, and planning A dedicated assistant for client meeting notes or follow-up ideas A private/local assistant connected to Ollama or another OpenAI-compatible model It is not a simple App Store install yet. It is a developer setup that requires building an iPhone app from source in Xcode. What you need Ray-Ban Meta Gen 2 glasses iPhone compatible with the Meta AI app A Mac capable of running Xcode — Apple Silicon Macs are ideal A Meta developer account and access to Meta’s wearables developer tools An Anthropic API key if using Claude through the API Comfort following a technical setup guide, with help from Claude or Cursor if needed Why this matters for vibe coders Pair this with Claude Code/Claude Dispatch and you can move between three ways of working: At your Mac: Use Claude Code, Cursor, or other tools to build projects.
