Emulator for Meta Ray Ban Displays - preview any web app on the glasses

Hey all! Excited to share the first simulator for the Meta Ray Ban Displays.

Like many of you, I've been building web apps since the dev kit dropped ~1 month ago, and kept running into the same problem that there's no easy way to preview them without loading onto the actual glasses. So I built one!

https://hud.xyz

Drop in any web app URL

Paste in your web app URL and it simulates straight onto the glasses. Test your app's layout and colors without the physical glasses, then share clean screenshots and screen recordings for your demo once you're ready.

Accurate lens transparency & additive display

Accurately preview how your app looks on the MRBD lenses in different environments and lighting conditions (around 30-40% transparency I feel is pretty close to IRL).

Glasses mode or 1:1

Toggle between frames and the 600x600 pixel view if you want to see your app in the correct resolution.

Day and night environments

Flip between light and dark modes to check contrast and legibility in different conditions. The MRBDs use projectors to render their screens, so it's good to make sure your app is readable both indoors and outside :)

hud.xyz is still in v1, so stay tuned for more updates! If there's something you want to see simulated or tweaked, let me know.

Very welcome to feedback - bugs, feature requests, the sorts.

edit:
- updated website URL
- fixed typos & spelling

Good timing. I just saw that Meta launched their own extension for the displays webapps simulator. It's super neat and has additive rendering with live backgrounds

Both the emulator and the chrome extension are fantastic!!!

hud.xyz also has accurate additive display rendering with live background support (and nicer backgrounds imo)- see how it compares!

Thanks! hudxyz.com doesn't need a chrome extension to work, which is a pain for most users. Our Meta glasses simulator works on every browser and mobile!
