GlintFive built-in pictures
320 × 200 and about 2 to 7 KB each, already in the glasses’ format, so GlintOS sends them as they are.

Pictures, made of light.
Nothing to set up.
Gallery shows pictures on the see-through display of your Maverick AI or AI Pro glasses. No account, no key, and the built-in pictures need no internet.
What it is.
Gallery puts pictures on the display of Everysight Maverick AI and AI Pro glasses. Five built-in pictures, Aurora, Orbit, Skyline, Tide and Bloom, are original artwork drawn for a display that only adds light: bright subjects on black, because black is see-through. They work offline. Four optional sample photos come from Lorem Picsum, a public demo service that needs no account or key.
Gallery is a fixed showcase, not a viewer for your own photos. Each picture shows its size, the memory it takes on the glasses, its format and its upload state. That makes Gallery a quick way to check a glasses connection, and to see how GlintOS handles loading, permission and error screens.
What you get.
Optional web photos
Jellyfish, River valley, Pug and Walrus download over HTTPS. Show web or Hide web turns them on or off, and Gallery remembers your choice.
Details beside each picture
Size, bytes on the glasses, format, a credit line and the upload state: READY on the phone, UPLOADING or ON GLASSES.
The next one is ready
Gallery prepares the next picture while you look at one. Prev and Next wrap around the whole set in both directions.
Careful with memory
Built-in pictures stay in the glasses’ flash memory while Gallery runs. Web photos use only working memory and are freed once they leave the screen.
Clear states, one Retry
Loading, permission, disconnected and error screens say what is happening. Retry sends a picture again or downloads it again.
On your glasses.
Picture list
A paged list of titles, each with a LOCAL or WEB tag. A chip counts the pictures, and a button reads Show web or Hide web. Focus returns to the last picture you viewed.
Picture viewer
The picture beside its details, a position chip such as 3 / 9, and Prev and Next buttons, plus Retry or Settings when something went wrong.
Permission screens
If Gallery’s Images or Internet access is off, it says so and offers a Settings button. Without Internet access, the built-in pictures keep working.
Disconnected and errors
While the glasses are disconnected, the viewer says the picture appears when they reconnect. Picture unavailable gives the reason, such as no connection or full picture memory, with Retry.
How you control it.
| Swipe forward | Moves focus to the next row or button, and turns the page at the end of the list. |
|---|---|
| Swipe back | Moves focus the other way. Swipes never change the picture by themselves. |
| Tap | Opens a picture, or presses the focused button: Next, Prev, Show web, Retry or Settings. |
| Long tap | Goes back, from the viewer to the list and from the list to Home. If Long tap is set to Assistant, it starts the assistant instead. |
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.
Gallery’s page in the GlintOS phone companion app has a Web pictures switch and a row for every picture, with its status and a Show button that selects it for the viewer on the glasses.
The same page holds Gallery’s Images and Internet access switches, Open on glasses and Clear data.
What you need.
- Glasses
- Maverick AI or AI Pro
Pictures appear only while the glasses are connected. Eye tracking is not used, so either model works.
- Phone
- Android 11 or later
The phone prepares the pictures and sends them to the glasses over Bluetooth.
- Account
- Not needed
There is nothing to sign in to.
- API key
- Not needed
The sample photos come from public Lorem Picsum addresses that need no key.
- Permissions
- GlintOS Images access, on by default
Change it on Gallery’s phone page or in glasses Settings > Privacy. Gallery adds no Android permission of its own.
- Internet
- Optional, for web photos only
Gallery reaches only Lorem Picsum, over HTTPS. The built-in pictures work offline.
- Cost
- None
No subscription or paid service is involved, and the web photos are small downloads.
These rows are about Gallery. 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 Gallery from the glasses Home dock, or with Open on glasses in the phone companion app. Gallery is turned on by default.
- Swipe to a picture and tap to open it. Focus Next and tap to move on.
- Optional: tap Hide web to keep only the built-in pictures.
Your data.
- Gallery shows only its fixed set. It does not read your photo library or files, and it saves only whether web photos are shown and the last picture you viewed. Clear data deletes both.
- Downloads are plain picture requests to Lorem Picsum, with no account, key or cookie. Like any web request, the host sees your phone’s network address.
- With web photos on, Gallery may fetch the next one before you open it. Hide web stops its network use.
Good to know.
- A fixed set of nine pictures at up to 320 × 200. There is no zoom, no slideshow and no way to add your own photos.
- Web photos depend on Lorem Picsum being reachable, and viewing them again offline is not guaranteed.
- Picture memory on the glasses is small and shared by every app. When it is full, a picture shows Picture unavailable with Retry.
- GlintOS is in development, with the free public APK planned for December 2026. Validation on real glasses is pending.
Questions.
Can Gallery show my own photos on Maverick AI glasses?
Not today. Gallery shows a fixed set of nine demo pictures, five built in and four from Lorem Picsum. It does not read your phone’s photo library.
Do I need an account or API key for Gallery?
No. Gallery needs no sign-in, key or paid service. Lorem Picsum is a public demo service with its own terms.
Does Gallery work offline?
Yes, for the five built-in pictures. The four web photos need a connection; without one they show Picture unavailable with Retry.
Why are the pictures bright shapes on black?
The glasses’ display only adds light, so black is see-through. The built-in pictures were drawn for that, and dark parts of ordinary photos look faint.
Is Gallery made by Everysight?
No. Gallery is part of GlintOS, an independent project not affiliated with or endorsed by Everysight or Lorem Picsum.
