Gen 2 / The collection
Meet myPip, myRoam and myGrove, our camera phone, notebook and desktop. Explore their controls, finishes and service details, then step into the lab with Raven Lab and Raven Lab Studio.
In development The images below are renderings of our Gen 2 engineering designs. Our first planned build is the proof of concept aperture instrument.
Gen 2 / Design film
The film places our five Gen 2 engineering designs on a limestone terrace above the Red Sea. Watch the light move across their rendered surfaces and controls.
Film archive / Design 27
See the stand lift, the controls come into reach and the finishes catch the light. A 50-second film of the Integrated line.
Gen 2 / Integrated line
Three familiar devices, each designed around the way it is held, opened or placed on a desk.
Camera phone
Prop the phone on a table for a photograph or a call. Lift the slim stand from the back, then fold it flush beside the camera terrace.
Does the light cue actually help someone take a more readable photograph? Compare it with an ordinary camera preview under the same conditions.

Notebook
Move from the keys to the wide touch surface. Small hollows on F and J guide your fingers back to home row, and the recessed shutter sits within reach at the front.
Can someone reach the optical control with a palm resting on the notebook and still work comfortably? Test with real components and a working hinge.

Desktop computer
Plug in a cable from the front of the desktop. Raised dots distinguish the two openings by touch. The side panel keeps its service screw captive.
How much air actually crosses the front grille at an acceptable desk noise level? Measure the proposed enclosure with real fans and a filter.

Instruments / Measurement
Path A compares the full transmitted power of two shapes. The Raven stations use a separate receiver architecture to study whether a signal can be calibrated, repeated and transferred between benches.
01 / Matched-aperture bench
A source seat, interchangeable square and rectangular apertures, and a receiving station make a full-power comparison possible in the proposed layout.
Characterize the source and check how much a remount changes the result.
Reference station
The lower operating bridge gives the reference and comparison controls distinct tactile cues. A shared station supports repeat measurements.
Can seated and standing operators select both controls accurately, without crowding the measurement area?

Second-bench instrument
The front of the station gives the operator a single guarded command. A lower opening in its surround leaves room to clean beneath the operating surface.
With the state hidden, can a second operator repeat the measurement and use the guard comfortably with gloves?

Optics / Published work
A receiver must first reproduce a measured optical response under declared conditions. A computing comparison would then need the same task, input and accuracy target on a conventional host. Energy and time would include illumination, sensing, conversion and transfer as well as processing.
That comparison is ahead of us. The geometric results and the planned bench test can already be examined independently.
