Bower Glasses

Guide execution
at the bench

Every time a researcher stops their work to take a note, they risk the work itself. Bower Glasses capture the work as it happens, so scientists can maintain their flow.

One connected system

Glasses is the bench layer of Bower

Guidance and capture aren't a separate tool. Bower Glasses runs on the same connected record as the rest of Bower, what it guides and captures flows straight into Record and becomes instantly queryable in Co-scientist.

Capture work

Bower Record

Voice, video, and images become one searchable, audit-ready record as work happens.

Scale expertise

Bower Co-scientist

Every result becomes queryable, grounded answers any researcher can pull from day one.

Guide execution

Bower Glasses

That same knowledge, delivered hands-free into the field of view.

You're here

The expertise gap

Confidence shouldn't depend on who's in the room

Junior researchers hesitate, second-guess steps, and interrupt seniors rather than risk a mistake. That gap adds risk to every run. Bower Glasses puts expert-level guidance in their field of view so they can execute with confidence.

× Without Bower Glasses

Execution breaks focus

  • Stop work to check a printed SOP or screen
  • Steps done from memory under time pressure
  • Technique varies between people and shifts
  • Supervising every run in person doesn't scale

✓ With Bower Glasses

Guidance comes to the work

  • The right step appears in your field of view
  • Ask a question by voice, hands stay on the work
  • Every researcher runs it the same, proven way
  • Scale expert oversight without being in the room

The cost of unguided execution

Every new hire and site starts from scratch

The protocol captures what to do. It doesn't capture how your best scientist does it. That gap shows up in slow onboarding, repeated runs, and discovery that never makes it into a patent.

Custom-built for uninterrupted workflows

Hands-free scientific guidance

Smart glasses surface contextual information and support directly in the field of view without interrupting execution.

Real-time operational knowledge access

Instantly surface protocols, workflows, prior experiments, instrument guidance, and organizational knowledge while work is being performed.

Natural voice interaction at the bench

Ask questions, retrieve information, and navigate workflows conversationally in environments where keyboards and touchscreens are impractical.

Purpose-built for regulated lab environments

Designed for sterile, GMP, and hands-on scientific settings where traditional documentation tools slow execution and add operational friction.

What you can't get from a PDF and a video call

SOPs get printed and ignored. Remote support tools require someone on the other end. Bower Glasses delivers real-time, context-aware guidance at the bench without pulling researchers out of the experiment.

Frequently asked questions

Today, Bower runs hands-free on Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses: full audio, live camera vision, and snapshot capture through Bird. Support for PPE-certified smart glasses and visual protocol overlays for cleanroom and BSL environments is in development. What you can say differs by device, and the reference covers mobile, Meta Ray-Ban, and VITURE Luma Ultra. Voice commands by device →
Bower Glasses is purpose-built for sterile, GMP, and hands-on lab environments where traditional documentation tools create friction. Continuous AR isn't always practical through a four-hour gowned BSC session, so voice and image capture step in as the fallback rather than requiring a headset to stay on throughout. More on how Bower handles security and data in regulated environments →
From your organization's connected knowledge, protocols, prior experiments, instrument guidance, and operational history. Every answer is grounded in your organization's own operational history. You can also teach Bird what each of your categories looks like, and mark where each step happens in a reference video so it plays the right moment on request.

No. Bower's AI assistant 'Bird' surfaces the right step, flags what you tell it to watch for, and logs deviations as they're reported. It doesn't make judgment calls for you and won't act on what it sees unless you ask. It scales access to expertise. It doesn't replace human oversight on critical decisions.
They share one connected record. Record captures the work, Co-scientist makes it queryable, and Bower Glasses brings that knowledge and live guidance into the field of view at the bench. Live agent mode is what ties the three together at the bench. Live agent mode →
