Frequently asked questions

It's about to be released; it shouldn't be long, probably within the next few days. Time is tight; we have to personally visit the supply chain factories to coordinate hardware details. We've filmed some publicly available videos. build in public

Our shipment at the end of August will be delayed. We already have plans for docs.monako.ai. This is a simple, effective, and Agent Vibe Coding docs, so it will be easy for developers. More importantly, it contains innovative hardware attempts and ideas, which will be available in the docs. In addition to the docs themselves, we will also provide the glasses, Ring's hardware access API, and examples on GitHub.

we have an imu ,but didn't implement

Yes, rings are optional. In some situations, the manipulation of a ring is more subtle.

Yes, we have far exceeded our target goals. We are currently in the EVT stage of mass production.

Hi! We have just received word from our logistics provider that Puerto Rico is considered an address outside the U.S. mainland and may require an additional transshipment to reach the destination. We are currently looking into suitable shipping options and will update this thread once we have more information.

I think so, because this is a complete Linux computer on the glasses, so you just need to make sure your private AI is accessible via the internet.

The opening date for our second batch of pre-sale orders has not yet been determined.

Monako is choosing to build in public. As an early-stage startup, we want to stay close to our users, listen to your needs and feedback, and keep improving the product together with you. We are currently overcoming supply chain issues; we haven't slept in two days, yet we remain excited. We will share more videos and use cases soon.

We provide support in any region of mainland China.

The expectation is that it will be fully open source, but it will be released gradually according to the development progress.

Totally agree with you. That's why we want to be open source and developer-friendly — we really want developers to explore, build, and push what Monako can become. Wait for our announcement next week!

Yup! Will be uploaded to GitHub

We will have a early bird promotion for the ring too

Thanks Akuma! We're working on a way to expose the GPIOs from the glasses. As for the camera, we'll include a cover for it. We're working hard to make Monako as hackable as a rapberry pi!

We support shipping services to the Netherlands. Orders are usually dispatched within 6–10 business days.

In this project, I believe the delays stemmed not from the software, but from the hardware, PCB design, flexible circuitry, and battery durability testing. If any resistor hadn't been tested, the entire design and prototyping would have been reworked and redone.

The first generation product supported Wi-Fi.

Hi Veff! Pinch and point work well, we have full pose estimation, so other gestures are also possible. We are working with an Optician to offer prescription lens fitting service. It would cost extra if you go with our service, but you could also ask your local optician to see if they are willing to fit lens onto smart glasses. We will send out a survey in August for you to fill in your prescription requirements. And yes, our display is using VHG waveguide.

Depending on the factory's production schedule, we need to conduct multiple rounds of testing and adjust the production process until the product passes all durability, waterproof, and heat dissipation tests before it can be shipped. However, we will actively follow up on this matter. We will await Candy's official notification regarding more specific deadlines.
