You're already 80% there

Smart glasses isn't a new world. It's the next form factor of the one you're already building for.

If you build mobile

You already know the stack. Flutter, React Native, Android, iOS - the same primitives ship to smart glasses. The frameworks port. The mental model carries. You're not learning a new platform. You're extending what you already do into space that isn't crowded yet.

If you build XR

You already know the hardware. Spatial computing, 3D interaction, the quirks of building for headsets - smart glasses is the next form factor in your lane. Lighter weight, broader audience, same core skillset. You've been training for this without realizing it.
