Wearable Intelligence System

ARCHIVED. The WIS has been been reorganized and upgraded to be faster, cleaner, and support more smart glasses as the SmartGlassesManager: https://github.com/TeamOpenSmartGlasses/SmartGlassesManager/

The Wearable Intelligence System (WIS) is the homepage for your smart glasses with a host of built-in apps, voice controls, always available HUD information, app launcher, and more. The WIS makes building smart glasses applications easy. There's a number of powerful and fashionable smart glasses being released (2022-24), and the WIS gives you an interface and apps to make those glasses useful. The WIS is like your phone homescreen or your computer desktop combined with a smart assistant.
