Summary

The Raven Prism is a privacy-first pair of smart glasses that's secretly a full Linux computer, with a physical camera cover, on-device eye tracking, and hot-swappable batteries. Most smart glasses point a camera at the world by default. The Raven Prism keeps it covered until you physically slide the shutter open, processes eye tracking on the device instead of the cloud, collects no telemetry by default, and runs an open Linux system with its SDK already on GitHub. It's an early preview from a small startup, so it's rough and built for tinkerers, but it's heading the opposite way from the rest of big tech. We saw it at AWE 2026 and it stuck with us. 🔗 Links Mentioned ► Our full AWE 2026 roundup → https://youtu.be/Qypcz-i5seE?si=cC5SAMAkEBv9AT35 💜 Support Us + Discount Codes ► 🛠️ Our XR Hub (gear & studio) → https://casandchary.com/gear ► VR Discount Codes → https://casandchary.com/discount-codes-affiliate-links/ ► Patreon → http://bit.ly/PatreonCasandChary Would you rather have smart glasses that protect your privacy, even if they weren't as polished?
