# Mentra

## Overview

**Mentra** is the company/product platform behind **Mentra Live**, a pair of camera-enabled smart glasses and the open-source **MentraOS** SDK. Its homepage positions Mentra Live for enterprise field teams and developers building custom AI workflows in the physical economy: technician copilots, hands-free video calls, delivery-driver assistants, repair documentation, and smart-glasses apps distributed through a Miniapp Store.^[../knowledge/raw/manual/2026-07-07/2026-07-07-mentra-smart-glasses.md]

The durable LLM-wiki relevance is that Mentra is an explicit attempt to move [[agentic-coding]] and AI-agent workflows from screen-bound knowledge work into embodied, field-work contexts. The page describes direct SDK access to camera, microphones, speakers, photos, livestreaming, and audio feedback, i.e. sensing/actuation channels that raise adjacent [[agent-security]] and privacy questions for tool-using agents operating around people and workplaces.

## Product details from the captured homepage

- **Mentra Live**: open-source, camera-enabled smart glasses for enterprise teams and developers.
- **MentraOS**: described as an open-source smart-glasses OS with SDK, app store, and support for multiple hardware platforms including Mentra Live, Even Realities, and Vuzix.
- **Use cases**: AI copilots for technicians, hands-free support calls, delivery-driver assistants, and field-service narration converted into structured records.
- **Specs claimed on page**: 43 g frame, MTK8766 chipset, 260 mAh glasses battery, 119° landscape camera field of view, three microphones, stereo audio, iOS 15.1+ / Android 12+ compatibility, prescription-lens readiness, and a 2,200 mAh charging case.
- **Positioning**: the homepage contrasts physical work as 70% of the economy with knowledge work as 30%, framing smart glasses as infrastructure for AI agents to "enter the physical world."^[../knowledge/raw/manual/2026-07-07/2026-07-07-mentra-smart-glasses.md]

## Watch points

- Verify the open-source status and license of MentraOS from primary repositories before relying on it as an open platform.
- Track whether third-party miniapps and enterprise pilots produce durable examples beyond homepage positioning.
- Treat product comparisons, battery-life claims, privacy claims, and price claims as vendor-stated until corroborated by independent reviews.
