Dev Kit 2 Testing

DevKit 1 is a necklace form factor device that can be worn around the neck. It runs on Xiao nRF52840, is powered by a rechargeable battery, and connects to your phone to stream the audio data. The device is designed to be used with the Omi app, which is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

Omi DevKit 1

DevKit 2 builds on top of and expands the DevKit1 capabilities, while keeping the necklace form factor. It still runs on Xiao nRF52840, but adds 8GB onboard storage, and a speaker, and replaces the on/off switch with a programmable button. This enables the device to listen in standalone mode, although you still need to connect it to the Omi app for processing.

Omi DevKit 2

OpenGlass DevKit is a small clip-on device you can attach to your glasses. It runs on Xiao ESp32S3 Sense platform, and features camera and microphone. The device also has a slot for an SD card, which is currently not utilized.

OpenGlass DevKit

As an open-source community, we empower enthusiasts to create their own OMI devices. This guide focuses on building the **Developer Kit 1**, as the **Developer Kit 2** relies on a custom PCB and is not suited for DIY assembly.
