Many people who rely on glasses for daily activities face the frustration of frequently misplacing them. Unlike phones, glasses are often set down in unpredictable places, making them harder to locate. A dedicated tracking solution for glasses could save time and reduce stress by providing real-time location data.

Smart and Simple Tracking

One way to address this problem is by developing a system that tracks glasses in real time. For smart glasses like Meta Ray-Ban, the solution could integrate with their built-in Bluetooth or GPS to show their location on a map, sound an alert when they're left behind, or play a sound to help find them nearby. For regular glasses, a lightweight Bluetooth tracker could attach to the frames, paired with a user-friendly app.

• Smart glasses: Use existing hardware for seamless tracking without extra accessories.
• Non-smart glasses: A small, discreet tracker could be clipped on for similar functionality.

Making It Work for Users and Manufacturers

Glasses manufacturers might be interested in adding tracking as a selling point, while app developers could create subscription-based premium features. Users would benefit from quicker recovery of lost glasses, especially older adults who frequently misplace them. A simple starting point could be an app for existing smart glasses, later expanding to include clip-on trackers.

While similar trackers like Tile or AirTag exist, this solution could offer deeper integration with smart glasses, like automatically pausing music when glasses are removed, and a sleeker design specifically for eyewear.
