# Bower Glasses

> Capture photos, video, and voice memos, and talk to Bower live, from Mentra Live smart glasses paired with the Bower app.

Bower Glasses let you capture and talk to Bower without putting anything down. They run on Mentra Live smart glasses: a camera, microphones, and speakers in a pair of frames, with no display. The glasses pair with the Bower app on your phone, and everything they capture lands in your workspace.

## What you can do

* **Capture hands-free.** Press the button or say *"Take a photo"* or *"Start recording"*. Photos, video, and voice memos save to your workspace. See [Capture hands-free](/bower-glasses/capture).
* **Talk to Bower live.** Press and hold the button or say *"Go live"*. Bower sees what you see, hears you, and answers through the speakers. See [Live and protocols](/bower-glasses/live-and-protocols).
* **Run a protocol.** Bower reads each step and moves on when you say you're done, and anything you capture during the run is linked to it.

## What you need

* **Mentra Live glasses.** In the Bower app they appear as **Bower Glasses**.
* **The Bower app** on your phone, signed in to your workspace.
* **A Wi-Fi network** the glasses can join. Photos and video normally travel over Wi-Fi.
