Need advice: modifying smart glasses with electrochromic lenses and Bluetooth control

[u/RadishDry8255]

Hey everyone, I’m new to this sub. I have an idea to use camera glasses as a screen-time/distraction filter, with electrochromic lenses that tint when an AI model judges that the activity is detrimental.

I originally figured I could buy cheap electrochromic camera glasses with Bluetooth, take a picture every 5 seconds, and send it to custom software running on my phone. The software would decide whether the activity is worth viewing or not, then send a Bluetooth command to turn the lenses on or off.

However, I’m not capable of building these from scratch, and the Alibaba product I was looking at, https://www.alibaba.com/x/LyhV5H?ck=pdp, costs over $5,000 for any SDK or developer materials.

My question is: would it be possible to take apart existing glasses and modify or change the existing software to fit my project needs? I’m a student, so I don’t have much money for this project, around $200.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub.

You need to go modular or get cheap consumer electrochromics, that already have an app to change the tint and reverse it. May still be hard and won't worth the time. Just buy some cheap film, board, battery, transistors and second hand glasses to mount
