Smart audio glasses platform VW-G1
An open-ear audio glasses platform that looks like normal eyewear. Directional speakers and a dual-microphone beam sit inside a lightweight frame, with touch control on the temple — for calls, music and assistant access without an earbud. Your frame, your lenses, your brand.
- Open-ear directional audio — nothing in or over the ear
- Dual microphones with ENC for clear calls outdoors
- Interchangeable lens system — sun, polarised, blue-light or prescription-ready
- Touch temple, voice assistant, and an app you can white-label
MOQ 500 pcs per model · sample in 7–15 days · production 25–35 days after sample approval.

Figures shown are the standard configuration used for quotation. Battery life and leakage performance vary with volume, fit and environment; confirmed values are frozen at golden-sample approval.
Five levels of change, and what each one costs you in time.
From a logo on the temple to a completely new frame mould. Most first eyewear programmes start at L1 or L2 — a private-label colourway on an existing frame is the fastest route to market.
| Level | What changes | Tooling | Added lead time |
|---|---|---|---|
| L1 · Branding only | Laser-etched logo on the temple, your app name and icon, custom pairing sounds, your retail case and box on existing tooling. | None | +0 days |
| L2 · Frame & finish | New frame colour, surface finish, nose-pad material or lens tint and polarisation on the existing shell. | Modified tooling | +7–15 days |
| L3 · Acoustic config | Speaker / microphone tuning, ENC profile, prompt languages and feature gating on the standard electronics, incl. firmware integration. | None (board-level) | +10–20 days |
| L4 · New frame design | A new frame shape built from your ID drawings or a joint design pass, with a new mould and full validation. | New injection mould | +30–50 days |
| L5 · Full ODM programme | Specification to mass production — electronics, frame mould, app, packaging and compliance documentation included. | New tooling | Programme schedule |
Added lead time is measured on top of the standard 25–35 day production window and starts from approval of the change, not from enquiry.
Four typical builds off the same platform.
