The community
Built by people who actually ship.
Smart glasses development is too new for tutorials and too fragmented to figure out alone. The VibeGlass community exists so the people building this platform can find each other, get hardware in their hands, and do real work together.
How vetting works
Three steps. No shortcuts.
01
Apply.
Tell us what you've shipped and what you want to build. Takes under five minutes.
02
Review.
We look at work, not resumes. We say no a lot; that keeps the community worth being in.
03
Welcome.
Access to the community, the hardware program, workshops, and project opportunities.
Member benefits
What members get.
Hardware in your hands.
Build on devices most developers have never touched, including hardware that is not on the market yet. Smart glasses development only clicks when you test on glass instead of a simulator, and the hardware program exists to make that possible for members.
Learn from the makers.
Workshops and hackathons with the people building the leading smart glasses platforms. Not recorded talks: rooms where you can ask the person who built the SDK why it works the way it does.
Real world projects.
Projects we receive are built by VibeGlass community expert developers. Shipping beats speculating: real briefs, real deadlines, and real budgets are how you get good at a platform this new.
Peers who ship.
Members have built for Snap Spectacles, Meta Ray-Ban, Even Realities, XREAL, Rokid, Google's Android XR, HoloLens, and many others. When you hit a problem nobody has documented yet, chances are someone in the room has already hit it.
Visibility.
We showcase member work to the companies and platform makers we talk to every week. Good work gets seen by the people who can commission more of it.

FAQ
Before you apply.
Who can apply?
People who are already actively building for smart glasses. Shipped XR work can help, but doesn't guarantee a spot. We also admit people who work at the brands that are shipping hardware.
What does it cost?
The community is free for now.
What hardware do members get access to?
Members build on devices most developers have never touched, including hardware that is not on the market yet. The collection spans the platforms the community actively ships for, including Snap Spectacles, Meta Ray-Ban, Even Realities, XREAL, and Rokid.
Do I need professional XR experience to apply?
Not necessarily. We look at work, not resumes. Strong developers who finish things and can show what they have built are what we are after, whether that work came from a job, a studio, or your own projects.
Where is the community based?
VibeGlass is based in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and the community is global, with members across multiple countries. Workshops and events happen in person and online, so you do not need to be in the Netherlands to take part.
What happens after I apply?
Your application goes to review, where we look at what you have shipped and what you want to build. If it is a fit, you get access to the community, the hardware program, workshops, and project opportunities.
What's expected of members?
Show up, build, share what you learn. Lurkers don't last here.
I'm not a developer. Can I join?
The community is for people who build. If you're a company, Talk to Our Team is your door.
