Racer turns Ray-Ban Meta glasses into an AI track coach with Opus 5.5, gains 5.3 seconds per lap
Vjeux · x · 2026-10-28
A track driver reverse-engineered his Ray-Ban Meta glasses and wired them to Claude Opus 5.5, building a real-time "JARVIS" racing coach that cut his lap time from 1:52.4 to 1:47.1 (−5.3s) in one session.
- Glasses stream first-person video to his phone at 30fps
- A vision model detects asphalt, curbs, and the next corner each frame
- Opus 5.5 plans the racing line and paints it on the road: green = throttle, red = braking, orange = corner
- Voice/AR cues: "BRAKE · 80 m" countdown, turn-in and apex calls, drift angle and counter-steer hints
The linked article also covers the AI reverse-engineering (REA) workflow — rewriting s697 functions in 12 days — and warns that a wrong constant can pass every test.
