GlintTap to take a photo
The corner brackets flash briefly, never the whole display, and a note says SAVED, SAVED IN APP or NOT SAVED.
GLINTOS MINI-APP · CAMERA & VISION
Photos from your point of view.
Your hands stay free.
Photos and short silent clips from the camera on your Maverick AI or AI Pro glasses, saved on your phone. No account, no key, no internet.
What it is.
Camera is a GlintOS mini-app for the forward-facing camera in Everysight Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. Tap the temple touchpad to take a photo or start a clip, without holding up your phone. A light-only viewfinder of corner brackets, a crosshair and three small labels sits over the real world.
Photos default to 1920 × 1080 JPEG. Clips default to 960 × 540 at 5 frames per second and become MP4 videos on your phone. Both are copied to the phone gallery unless you turn that off. The camera is made for machine vision, so expect plain pictures.
What you get.
Short silent clips
Record starts a clip with a pulsing REC timer. Stop saves it and shows its length and where it went.
A photo mid-clip
Tap Capture while recording to save the next video frame as a photo, at the video’s size.
Keeps recording at Home
Go Home and the clip keeps going, with a REC timer on the status bar.
Your sizes and speeds
Pick photo size, photo quality (Standard, High or Best), video size and 1, 2, 5, 10 or 15 fps.
Recovers on its own
With Camera in front, the camera reopens when the glasses reconnect. If another app holds it, Camera offers Take over.
On your glasses.
Viewfinder

Recording
VIDEO and the clip size top left, a pulsing REC timer top right. Capture saves a frame as a photo, Stop ends the clip.
Starting and Saving

How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Moves focus to the next button. Capture is focused first. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Moves focus the other way. |
| Tap | Presses the focused button: Capture, Record, Stop, Retry, Take over or Settings. |
| Long tap | Goes Home, and a clip keeps recording. If Long tap is set to Assistant, it starts the assistant instead. |
| Voice | Optional, through the GlintOS assistant: say photo, record or stop while Camera is in front. Built, not yet verified live. |
Gestures come from the temple touchpad on Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. An optional R08+ smart ring can send the same gestures from your finger.
Home and phone.
Camera’s page in the GlintOS phone companion app has Capture and Record or Stop buttons, which work while the camera is open, and live frame rate figures.
Your 12 newest photos appear as thumbnails. Chips set the photo and video options, and a switch turns gallery copies on or off.
The same page has camera access for Camera, Close app and Clear data.

These rows are about Camera. GlintOS itself also needs internet on the phone the first time it connects to your glasses and about once a month after that, when the glasses’ security certificate is renewed.
Set it up.
- Install GlintOS on an Android 11 or later phone and connect your glasses.
- Open Camera on the glasses, or with Open on glasses in the phone companion app. The camera starts by itself.
- Tap Capture for a photo. Swipe to Record and tap to start a clip, then tap Stop to save it.
- Optional: on Camera’s phone page, set photo and video options and choose whether copies go to the gallery.
- If Camera says the camera is off, tap Settings and allow camera access for Camera.
Your data.
- Camera uploads nothing. Frames travel from the glasses to your phone and are processed there. No sound is recorded.
- GlintOS keeps your 60 newest photos in its private storage, which is excluded from Android cloud backup. Clear data deletes them, and any clips kept there.
- Gallery copies, on by default, go to Pictures/GlintOS and Movies/GlintOS, where other gallery and photo backup apps can see them. Clear data leaves them in place.
- The camera runs only while Camera is in front or a clip records, and the status bar then shows CAM.
Good to know.
- Clips have no sound, run at 15 fps at most and stop by themselves after 10 minutes.
- With gallery copies on, a clip the gallery refuses, for example on a full phone, is lost.
- Camera cannot delete or share a single photo, and has no way to view clips kept only in GlintOS storage.
- Only one app can use the glasses camera at a time. Camera is Android only, and has been unit-tested but not yet run on real glasses.
Questions.
Can Maverick AI glasses take photos?
Yes. Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses have a forward-facing camera, and Camera uses it for photos and short silent clips, saved on your Android phone.
Does Camera need an account, API key or internet?
No. Camera has no sign-in and no key, and works offline. Only optional voice commands rely on your phone’s speech recognizer, which may work online.
Where are my photos and videos saved?
Photos stay in GlintOS and, by default, also go to Pictures/GlintOS in your gallery. Clips go to Movies/GlintOS, or only to GlintOS’s private storage if you turn gallery copies off.
Does Camera have a Home widget?
Not of its own. While Camera runs, its shot count or recording time can appear in the Home Summary widget.
Is Camera made by Everysight?
No. Camera is part of GlintOS, an independent project not affiliated with or endorsed by Everysight. GlintOS is in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026.
