Guys! We have 2 choices for our waveguides, which one do you like better?

Top 20 out of 1,400+ startups! 🚀 Huge milestone for @MonakoResearch . Thanks to the Slush team — we're just getting started!

One of Monako Glass's standout features is its bone conduction mic. The "industry standard" name for it is VPU, short for Voice Pickup. Keep this in mind if you ever need to work with accoustic engineers! This week we finalized our mic array design: 1 VPU + 3 accoustic mics. This allows Monako Glass to perform hardware backed speaker diarization!

A day in the life of building Monako Glass. Drove out to Sunny Optical's factory this morning. Most of our days look like this right now — sitting with engineers, going deep on details you'll never notice but will absolutely feel. Today's detail: what our frame is made of. We came in set on TR90, a plastic that keeps the glasses light and thin. Weight matters a lot when something sits on your face all day. But Sunny's engineers stopped us. Everyone's head is a slightly different size. That variation puts constant flex on the front frame every time you put the glasses on. For a plastic like TR90, that stress builds quietly — until one day it cracks. Their fix: metal (magnesium-aluminum alloy) for the front frame, where the structural load actually lives. So we went hybrid — metal for strength, TR90 for lightness. You shouldn't have to choose between the two. Slow work. But this is how the product becomes real. #BuildingInPublic #Monako #AllInOrNothing #Startuplife

Each time @MonakoResearch run an AMA they have amazing surprises to show us ! Great product is coming !!

Because of you, we're here. 2,500 of you backed Monako Glass before we'd shipped a single unit. That trust is why we made a hard call — rebuilding our first product on Qualcomm's AR1 to make the world's smallest Linux spatial computer. New ship target: Q1 2027, not this summer. Our 2,500 early backers: your price stays locked at $399. Not up for the wait? Email your PO number to [email protected] for a full refund, no questions asked. Batch two stays reservation-based and opens Q2 2026 — the deposit will be higher than $19, and retail will be meaningfully above batch one. Final pricing will be set after EVT. You're welcome to decide on whether to get a refund after joining our AMA on August 29th! We've been working on the world's first Spatial Computing Linux distro designed for waveguide glasses. Can't wait to show you our work!

This is fcking awesome. Hyped I was able to sign up a few months ago. Excitement off the charts. Is there a way to sign up for email updates? I don't really use social media these days so miss out on AMAs.

3DOF head tracking working on Monako Glass! Now, you can have a huge number of Claude Code or Codex terminals in your spatial workspace! Next step: Visual Inertial Odometry, which would enable 6DOF spatial anchoring :) P.S. please ignore the flashing, in person there's none of it

Just jumped in @MonakoResearch discord AMA. I’m amazed by the exciting techs they are preparing !

After an entire week of negotiations, we've confirmed that Monako will be moving to @Qualcomm Snapdragon AR1, for which Sunny Optical has a mature platform. Here are the specs: • Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 (4× Cortex-A55 @ 2.0GHz) • Adreno 621 GPU (OpenGL ES 3.2 + Vulkan) • Hexagon v73 NPU (~2.4 TOPS INT8) • Sony IMX681 12.2MP camera • Linux 5.10 • arm64-v8a (64-bit) Thank you guys for getting us here, we couldn't have made it this far without your support! We've sold out our first batch, the preorders are closed :)

Monako friends, our manufacturing partner is officially Sunny Optical! They are China's 4th biggest manufacturer, and provide OEM service for 2 of the biggest AI/XR glasses on the market (I'm not allowed to name names). We have a really big announcement coming next week, can you guess what it is?

Hi Monako friends, got some amazing news! After our product launch blew up, Rockchip got officially in touch with us! We are gonna have a custom SoC designed specifically for Monako with an external DDR! We can have much bigger RAM now!

Dear Monako Fans! Grok chose 3 lucky followers who will receive a free Monako Glass! We have more lucky draws coming up, if you didn't get one this time, stay tuned for the next one! xitter.gq/i/grok/share/6b732f4a4…

I’ve been saying 2026 is finally the year of Facetop Linux.
