Is there an opportunity to partner with (or sell to) one of the big digital sheet music vendors (like Musescore or Music Notes, etc)? I've never come upon a compelling personal use case for smart glasses, but as a pianist this could be it. I would HAPPILY purchase both glasses and a subscription from one of the big music vendors if this worked seamlessly and I could do things like embed a metronome or link it to my DAW so I could control things like tempo, rewind, even key transposition.
This would make the most sense, since MuseScore is notoriously litigious about usage and redistribution of their library/MusicXMLs, so a collaboration would be necessary to get a usable music catalog for smart glasses
I feel like this would be sold as more of an app for a smart glasses platform than an individual product.

There are tonnes, it's just the technology isn't there yet; glasses are too bulky and heavy, the fov sucks, the resolution sucks, light transmittance sucks.
But the use cases are incredibly plentiful; stuff like this (music sheets, documentation, web browsing), getting realtime directions with a blue line or directional hints when walking around an unfamiliar place, overlays/information at tourist sites, home automation/controlling devices.
I remember an old anime or some show where it's a world where a digital world is overlaid the real world where AIs and devices from the digital layer can be interacted with in a similar way...what was it hmmm.
Just a quick plug: check out Soundslice. It's interactive sheet music with a ton of learning tools built in, including easy navigation, looping, tempo changing and transposition.
We've also got a scanning feature that does OCR for sheet music, to get music into our system. Plus there's a full-featured notation editor. A good overview is at https://www.soundslice.com/features/
