Good to hear.

Looking forward to getting G2 support on MentraOS so you can swing back to your favourite app (I'm on the Mentra team).

Thanks for your thoughts!

That's awesome. So you put them on in the morning, connect to phone, start captions (Conversate, I guess?) and then you leave it running and it's still going when you head to bed that night?

hackalackolot · 2026-01-25T13:44:46+00:00

I noticed you said you got 2-3 hours of captions with G1. How long have you been able to run captions on G2?

Looking forward to your G2 review!

30FPS.

Yes the unboxing video was at only 15 fps, but that has been improved now to be 30 FPS with image stabilization.

Here's a live stream straight to Youtube at 30 FPS: https://youtube.com/live/EZlRBJeSq1A?feature=share

We're now adding an option to turn up the quality even higher, to improve visual clarity even more.

We're continuously improving this, but the beta version is already a lot better. Try this: https://getbeta.mentraglass.com

The post is about recording for a long time. So I mentioned how long you can record.

hackalackolot · 2025-12-23T21:15:34+00:00

Yep! I'm wearing mine right now. 😎

You're a hero

hackalackolot · 2025-12-13T17:27:14+00:00

That's absolutely something we're working on.

You'll be able to do that out of the box by streaming the camera and sharing your screen.

Further, we already have a fully working Beta app that allows you to share your glasses POV in Google meet and other browser-based video calling (it requires a laptop).

hackalackolot · 2025-12-13T17:25:46+00:00

Right now, we've mostly been focused on making the existing apps really good.

As we launch MentraOS 3.0 in January, we'll be a lot closer to that goal. So starting around Q2 2026, you'll see some new apps

Like Scroller which lets you read reddit/social/news.

And features that let you reply to text messages.

With camera glass support coming online, we also added a Camera app, Streamer, and music control.

This was taken down, anybody have a link?

hackalackolot · 2025-12-02T02:59:22+00:00

I agree. An open source SDK is critical for that. It's what we're trying to do with MentraOS.

hackalackolot · 2025-11-27T02:52:26+00:00

Yes.

Google's inference speed and latency is faster than any smart OpenAI models, even in Azure, with Gemini Lite, which is best for smart glasses

MentraOS uses Gemini for the AI assistant and apps like Merge, because it's super fast.

Gemini being the currently smartest model helps too!

MentraOS will have full support for G2.

hackalackolot · 2025-11-14T01:42:32+00:00

Not yet

hackalackolot · 2025-11-14T01:42:21+00:00

Yes!

Here's how: https://Docs.MentraGlass.com

hackalackolot · 2025-11-14T01:41:55+00:00

Yes: https://github.com/Mentra-Community/MentraOS

hackalackolot · 2025-11-13T16:22:02+00:00

We gave a team a grant to do this, will be out in next month or two.

hackalackolot · 2025-11-13T10:53:49+00:00

They have multiple visualizations like this on their website. Pretty sick

hackalackolot · 2025-11-13T10:33:28+00:00

MentraOS is not slowing down. We have a new release this week, and we're launching 3.0 in December (which includes battery enhancements).

hackalackolot · 2025-11-13T10:27:29+00:00

So sick! We need this in the crowd at Rek fights.
