RR-CREATOR/GLARE10Glasses Linked Augmented Reality Engine
GLARE is an open-source printed circuit board by RR-CREATOR, from the RR-CREATOR/GLARE repository on GitHub, published under the MIT licence. It is a 4-layer board of 102.4 × 27.5 mm with 102 parts on 109 nets, routed with 781 tracks and 177 vias.
It is built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8, L86-M33 and CH9102F, with the SY7088DGC, AP5054HTCER and ICM-20948 among its other parts. Its parts include 31 resistors, 29 capacitors, 9 ICs, 6 transistors and 4 diodes. It belongs with the ESP32 boards of this library.
Glasses Linked Augmented Reality Engine // By RR-CREATOR (rrop)
GLARE is a Glasses Linked Augmented Reality Engine.
It is basically a glasses attachment.
It has a custom pcb, which you could place either inside the frame of glasses if you 3d print the frame, or attach it outside.
It has a custom HUD made using birdbath optics and a 0.39" display, on one side, so you aren't too disconnected with reality, and a lot of the issues caused by cheap optics are resolved through seperate vision.
It features an esp32-s3-wroom-n16r8 motherboard which, along with a phone(to be added after testing pcb), will get data from 2 mics, a camera, a gyro and gps and give an Augmented Reality experience through the HUD, for assitance in day to day life.
I made this as I wanted to build something cheap and accessible, which could make AR glasses a reality for people. I wanted it to be able to help people in need by translating written text it sees into users chosen language, and it can also listen to conversations and show a live transcript in users chosen language, and can work for sign language as well.
It has a custom pcb which serves as its mainboard.
The pcb has proper power management, and is powered by two batteries in parallel connected to a voltage supervisor.
The pcb also has a micro usb b port which is used to charge the LiPo batteries and is also used for programming the esp 32 module on the board.
It also has a battery gauge, and a power on/off button, along with a low power isolation.
It also has a 5V boost and a 5V to 3.3V LDO to power esp and other peripherals.
The pcb also has connections for various peripherals, including 2 mics for stereo sound, a camera, a micro oled display, a gps and gyro.
It also has a usb to uart module to programme this esp 32.
Fully Traced Board:
3D Model of PCB:
Ik the pcb looks lik a cheap cybertruck :3
So the CAD has a representation of the HUD, attached to a small piece, to attach it to the frame.
(the pieces of the hud will be glued with optically clear glue)
It also has a small holder where the camera will go. The holder has an extended piece using which it will be glued to the glasses.
The right leg/handle of the glasses frame has a simple design, with its bottom looking like a battery.
The left leg/handle on the other hand is modelled around the shape of the pcb, and is hollow with a cover so that the pcb can be enclosed in it.
Also, it bottom is hollow, and designed so that a battery can be placed inside it.

The 100 most common of 102 parts.
It measures 102.4 × 27.5 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.2 mm thick.
102 parts, built around the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8, L86-M33, CH9102F and SY7088DGC. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
From the RR-CREATOR/GLARE repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is PCB/main.kicad_pcb and its schematic PCB/main.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).

This version was an attempt to use a 2S battery pack. The main issue is that as of 2022-09-15, there are not many 2S battery charging IC's nor a nice i2C fuel gauge IC, so at the moment, this is a dead end design.
