Unlike Meta's AI glasses, it runs RavenOS (a custom Linux OS) on a quad-core ARM64 processor with 2–4 GB RAM, features a full-color LCoS waveguide display with 30-degree FOV, and uses eye-tracking for primary input. Privacy is a core focus: all processing happens on-device, no telemetry is collected by default, and a physical camera cover plus indicator lights are included. The device supports SSH, can be rooted, and can run anything built for ARM64 Linux. Priced from $1,499 with no subscription required, it is set for commercial launch later in 2026, with an SDK already available on GitHub. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What operating system does the Raven Prism smart glasses device run? It runs RavenOS, a custom Linux-based operating system built by Raven Resonance around gaze-first, hands-free interaction rather than Android or AOSP. The device is a native ARM64 Linux platform, supports SSH out of the box, can be rooted, and can run anything built for ARM64 including Unity, web apps, local AI models, and agents. _developers curious about Linux-powered wearables can track ambient computing launches like this one on daily.dev._ ### How does the Raven Prism protect user privacy compared to other smart glasses like Meta's Ray-Ban glasses? All eye-tracking and camera processing happens on-device with no data leaving without explicit consent, unlike Meta's glasses which push footage to servers for human review. Raven Prism ships with a physical camera cover, a 'Beakon' light indicating camera activity, and no telemetry collection by default, only an opt-in anonymized data option. _anyone weighing privacy tradeoffs in wearable tech can follow developments like Raven Prism's approach on daily.dev._ ### What are the hardware specs and price of the Raven Prism smart glasses? It has a quad-core 64-bit ARM processor around 1 GHz, 2GB or 4GB RAM options, weighs under 70 grams, and features a full-color LCoS waveguide display with a 30-degree diagonal field of view on the right lens comparable to a 16-inch laptop at arm's length. A tentative base price of $1,499 was announced, with no required subscription. _developers evaluating new ambient computing hardware can keep an eye on pricing and specs updates via daily.dev._ ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@tsumanu** · 0 upvotes > How long battery last? ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [I went hands-on with XREAL’s Android XR glasses, and I didn’t want to take them off](https://daily.dev/posts/i-went-hands-on-with-xreal-s-android-xr-glasses-and-i-didn-t-want-to-take-them-off-eezwbytfs) · XDA Developers · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Razer’s AI wearable is a headset with built-in cameras](https://daily.dev/posts/razer-s-ai-wearable-is-a-headset-with-built-in-cameras-87jmahcq6) · The Verge · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Xreal, Google’s smartglasses partner, thinks it has finally mastered this notoriously tricky industry](https://daily.dev/posts/xreal-google-s-smartglasses-partner-thinks-it-has-finally-mastered-this-notoriously-tricky-industr-ty7fgmcg7) · TechCrunch · 3 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google announces Gemini-powered smart glasses at I/O 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/google-announces-gemini-powered-smart-glasses-at-i-o-2026-njocl4li9) · The Next Web · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux), [#hardware](https://daily.dev/tags/hardware), [#privacy](https://daily.dev/tags/privacy) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/raven-prism-is-a-linux-computer-that-happens-to-be-a-pair-of-glasses-fzk2eybtb) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Raven Prism is a Linux Computer That Happens To Be A Pair of Glasses","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/raven-prism-is-a-linux-computer-that-happens-to-be-a-pair-of-glasses-fzk2eybtb","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/raven-prism-is-a-linux-computer-that-happens-to-be-a-pair-of-glasses-fzk2eybtb"},"datePublished":"2026-06-16T18:22:57.232Z","dateModified":"2026-09-13T18:35:52.460Z","description":"Raven Resonance, a San Francisco startup, has announced the Raven Prism — a standalone Linux-based wearable computer in the form of smart glasses.
