Mentra Live · independent Ten Thirty Two beta

Your hands stay in the work. Your computer joins the conversation.

We need data testers to help evaluate a field system built around Mentra Live camera glasses, a powered Android bridge, and a private tunnel to a processor on your own computer. Early testing uses synthetic or explicitly approved low-risk data.

Mentra Live is a Mentra product. Ten Thirty Two is proposing this independent beta configuration and is not sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by Mentra. Campaign artwork is a concept visualization, not a product photograph.

Apply before buying equipment. You do not need to purchase Mentra Live to submit an interest request. Selection, test scope, equipment access, time commitment, and any compensation will be confirmed in writing before testing begins; none is promised by this form.

Data testers wanted

We need people who notice what the system gets wrong.

This is a prototype testing project, not a finished product or permission to capture real people. Testers help us measure whether the data is useful, whether consent stays visible, and whether the system fails safely. No technical experience is required for field-workflow testing.

Role 01

Field workflow tester

Walk through a real task using staged or synthetic examples. Tell us where hands-free prompts help, interrupt, or miss the point.

Role 02

Data quality tester

Review sample observations, transcripts, labels, and summaries for accuracy, missing context, and misleading confidence.

Role 03

Privacy + consent tester

Challenge the recording notices, pause controls, redaction rules, bystander consent, and the data the system must refuse.

Role 04

Reliability + recovery tester

Test weak connections, low power, duplicate events, lost devices, revocation, restart behavior, and safe recovery.

Early-test data boundary Start synthetic. Add real data only when it is approved.
  • No covert recording and no recording people without the permission required for the setting.
  • No health, financial, biometric, legal, controlled, or other restricted data in an early test.
  • Stop the test if consent, device status, data routing, or the immediate pause control is unclear.
  • Tester requests should describe data categories, not include actual private records or attachments.

What Mentra Live is

A camera, microphones, and audio in a pair of open smart glasses.

Mentra Live is a display-free pair of smart glasses. Its camera can capture 1080p video and high-resolution still images; three microphones collect voice and environmental audio; stereo speakers return sound without putting a screen in front of your eyes.

The glasses connect by Wi-Fi and Bluetooth to a phone. Mentra says its open-source MentraOS and Bluetooth SDK can support Android or iOS applications that connect directly to the glasses, including offline workflows that do not depend on the Mentra cloud.

The field kit we recommend

Power the glasses and the phone for the real length of the job.

Mentra lists a 260mAh battery in the glasses, a 2,200mAh charging case, and 12+ hours of mixed use. Continuous capture and streaming are more demanding than mixed use, so a pilot should be designed around external power.

01

Mentra Live glasses

The display-free capture and audio layer. The included Infinity Cable can charge the glasses while worn from a USB-C source.

03

Dedicated Android phone

An Android 12+ phone becomes the controlled bridge. A dedicated pilot phone is easier to patch, restrict, inventory, and revoke than a personal device.

04

Your own processor

A customer-owned workstation or server performs the approved local processing and stores only the data the pilot has agreed to retain.

Two power paths may be needed: one for the glasses through Mentra's Infinity Cable and one for the Android phone. Final battery and cable choices will be tested against the job, environment, and manufacturer requirements before field use.

Proposed private architecture

A closed route from glasses to your computer.

The Android phone is the bridge, not the destination. It carries approved data through a private encrypted tunnel to a processor the pilot owner controls.

  1. 1
    Capture

    Mentra Live

    Camera, microphones, and speakers support the field interaction.

  2. 2
    Bridge

    Dedicated Android

    The paired phone authenticates the device, applies local rules, and forwards only the approved stream or event.

  3. 3
    Private route

    Encrypted tunnel

    A WireGuard-based tunnel such as a managed Tailscale route can connect the phone without exposing a public inbound port.

  4. 4
    Process

    Your computer

    A customer-owned workstation or server receives the authorized feed for local models, records, or operator review.

Default boundary

Local-first processing, no public inbound service, no raw recording retention unless the pilot explicitly requires it, and no regulated or high-risk data until the applicable requirements have been reviewed and documented.

How we will reduce security risk

Security is a set of enforced controls—not a promise that nothing can ever go wrong.

No system can honestly guarantee absolute security. Before a field pilot, Ten Thirty Two will document the data path, configure the agreed controls, test recovery and revocation, and define what the system must never collect or do.

Private device identity

Per-device keys, a strict allowlist, and revocable credentials for the glasses bridge, phone, and processor.

Encrypted transport

Authenticated encryption through the private tunnel, with no public inbound port opened on the customer computer.

Local-first data

Processing on the customer's machine where practical, full-disk encryption, and raw audio/video retention off by default.

Least privilege

A dedicated Android profile, minimal app permissions, separate pilot network, and administrator access protected by MFA.

Visible controls

A clear recording and consent procedure, an immediate pause or kill switch, and visible operator status during use.

Auditable operation

Patch tracking, access logs, data-retention records, tested credential revocation, and a written incident path.

Beta boundary: This proposed design is not a security certification, compliance attestation, or guarantee. The final controls depend on the equipment, network, data sensitivity, location, and laws that apply to the specific pilot.
