The Platform

Ray-Ban Display glasses embed a transparent display directly in the lens, projecting information into your line of sight without blocking what's in front of you. Think of it as a heads-up display you wear all day. Paired with the Meta Neural Band worn on the wrist, they respond to simple hand gestures — no touchscreen, no voice commands, no reaching for anything. It's a computer you wear, not one you carry.

DJs performing on Pioneer DJ gear

Anyone playing on a Pro DJ Link network, whether that is a pair of CDJs, XDJs, DJM mixer, an all-in-one system, or a laptop running rekordbox. If your setup talks Pro DJ Link, See DJ talks back.

Solution

Everything happening on your decks, always in your line of sight

A fully hands-free, persistent, passive display projected into your vision so the dancefloor stays visible below. See DJ gives you a continuous live readout of your decks and your mixer so you always know exactly where you are in the mix.

How See DJ Works

See DJ runs on Pro DJ Link, Pioneer DJ's networking protocol that connects CDJs, XDJs, and DJM mixers over a standard Ethernet cable, allowing all devices to share data in real time. Once connected to the network, the display shows song title, artist, live BPM, playing status, a downbeat-aware four-step beat indicator, and pitch fader position for each media player. MASTER and SYNC tags show which deck is driving tempo and which is following. Four channel faders render as vertical strips so you can see at a glance which channels are live on the mixer. The crossfader displays its exact position and flips amber the moment it leaves center, flagging when the room is being fed by one deck only. No controls, no input, no interaction required. You drive the gear. See DJ just shows you what it is doing.

About L+R Baseplates

An open-source starting point from our team

This is a Baseplate application — one of dozens of open-source foundations built by L+R as part of our alpha partnership with Meta on the Ray-Ban Display platform. Baseplates aren't always finished products. They're minimal, readable, and forkable. Built to show what's possible and give developers a working foundation to learn from and build on.

The Bottom Line

See DJ brings live deck information into a performer's line of sight through smart glasses. The broader challenge is designing technology that supports focus instead of stealing it. At L+R, emerging technology becomes competitive advantage through strategy, technical execution, and craft, with AI brought in only where it can improve a real business outcome. If your workflow depends on timing, context, and attention, let's make it work in the real world.
