Can I use smart glasses from a web browser?

Only when the browser, device and application provide a supported path. A web page running successfully on a phone does not automatically gain access to every connected accessory or its sensors.

Identify the bridge to the hardware

Ask whether the page communicates directly through a supported browser capability or through a manufacturer's companion/runtime. Those approaches have different requirements. A hosted page, a WebView inside a companion and a native app are not interchangeable simply because all can display HTML.

For a text tool, first establish one documented path from the page to the physical display. Our browser text preview can help with content length and wrapping, but that alone does not make it a device-control application. Rendering a preview and communicating with a particular frame are separate jobs.
