Build your UI for display glasses using the Jetpack Compose Glimmer UI framework
for augmented experiences that work on optical see-through displays. Jetpack
Compose Glimmer is one of the first UI frameworks to be optimized for
transparent displays and the glasses form-factor.

## Transparent display first

Optimized, and backed by research and color science, for transparent displays
and the glasses form factor for thoughtful, beautiful, optical see-through
experiences.

## Hardware input

Interaction inputs are designed around the capabilities of display glasses.

## Purpose-built

Styles and components are purpose-built to use out-of-the-box for display
glasses and other devices with optical see-through displays.

Jetpack Compose Glimmer is optimized for transparent displays and user comfort.
While purpose built, it's not rigid. It provides a way for you to customize the
focus highlights, in addition to type and color. This gives you control over
your app's aesthetic, so you can define the `GlimmerTheme` that fits your brand.
