Open and Focused Smart-Glasses OS Ecosystem
Quick answer
Open and Focused Smart-Glasses OS Ecosystem explains how Open smart-glasses OS, Agent-native glasses OS, Productivity-focused platform, Privacy-first MR connect across the XR stack. It maps entities such as MentraOS, Mentra Live, MiniApp Store, Developer SDK, MonoOS, Monako Glass, Lua application layer, Embedded Rive runtime, Immersed Visor, Virtual monitors so readers and AI crawlers can understand platform relationships instead of treating each device, chip, operating system, and research signal as isolated.
MentraOS, MonoOS, Visor, LynxOS, and OpenXR represent alternatives to mega-platform lock-in: open developer workflows, lightweight app layers, productivity-first headsets, privacy-first MR, and cross-runtime APIs.
How to read this map
Read each lane as one layer of the ecosystem. Device names show the visible products, platform names show the software layer, chip names show the compute direction, and research items show what may influence future hardware. The goal is not to rank companies; it is to make the relationships legible.
