Raven Resonance CEO @tomthecarrot explains the 3 beachhead use cases that will allow AR devices to actually scale:
"The first is micro interactions. This is something where you're in and out of the display within 5 to 10 seconds. Examples are next navigation direction, phone notifications, changing music, or cooking instructions."
"Second is reference material. This is where you can AirPlay your phone screen or pin up relevant information. If you're working on something with your hands, you want something that is hands-free that's going to give you that information. Ideally you can ask an LLM or an AI to help you with that task."
"Third is spatial experiences, which is what we've seen from Specs. There's a lot of spatial work that we want to do in the future as well. But I think right now, you want to build toward what is the iPod of AR before you build the iPhone."
every single time I've talked to these guys, I've been blown away by their commitment to their vision, they genuinely just want really really cool tech to exist and I am so excited to see it come out
@tomthecarrot is one of my favorite hardware founders. Truly sincere & committed to inventing the future of computer interfaces
Don’t sleep on this dude
i'll shill relentlessly for this. i want one. I'd use ts for rework imagine putting ur microscope view in this thing, imagine overlaying the PCB part values as you look at it on the bench. fuck me bro
We're sharing a preview of the functional prototype of our first product, Raven Prism - packing an entire Linux OS into a stylish looking pair of glasses with eye control, hot swappable batteries & many other cool things as promised. Come check us out at AWE if you're around!
We’re sharing an early preview of Raven Prism, our stylish ambient computer in glasses form, ahead of its launch later this year. Raven Prism is Linux-based with a ARM64 architecture and devs have already built apps for it.
If you’re at AWE, come by our booth for a demo!

First alpha version of the Raven SDK is now live!
We released the Raven SDK alpha @RealityHackMIT and saw an incredible number of apps built for Raven Glass across our track and workshops.
Some devs built apps on the Raven simulator in under an hour using our Python SDK and generative tools.
Get started here: https://t.co/MV4zXpu2dq
We also shared an early look at our hardware running our custom Linux-based RavenOS running. We'll invite EarlyBirds to our developer lounge at launch.
Please share all feedback. We’re committed to building in public, privacy-first, and with an open ecosystem. We're excited to begin shipping Raven Glass batches soon.
We're giving a sneak preview of the @RavenGlasses SDK & OS at @StanfordXR_ this weekend. If you're there come by our booth and check out the talk!

Meta's launch of RayBan Display is a great step forward for the AR industry. It's interesting to see their alignment with some of our early design decisions.
Raven Glass is opening soon to developers with onboard 64-bit ARM compute and root access. If you want to build apps that run directly on stylish smart glasses and not rely on a limited mobile API, check out the EarlyBird program :)
Excited to bring other unique features such as eye tracking and the hot-swappable battery system to the mix.
