Even Realities G2 smart display glasses are designed to offer users hands-free access to information without compromising privacy. Unlike many other smart glasses that include cameras, these glasses omit cameras entirely, addressing a major concern for privacy-conscious users. The glasses connect to a phone-based AI called Even AI, which provides notifications, notes, translations, news, and a teleprompter directly to the user’s field of vision. The display uses binocular, monochromatic waveguide technology, which projects sharp but minimalistic information in front of both eyes. This design allows users to glance at useful data without distracting them from their surroundings.
The glasses are equipped with four microphones for voice input but lack built-in speakers, meaning the AI cannot respond verbally. Instead, responses appear as text on the waveguide display. The AI has limited control over the glasses, so gestures are used for interaction. Each arm of the glasses ends in a pill-shaped structure that contains batteries and touch sensors. An optional $249 Even R1 ring can be used for control and also tracks temperature, heart rate, and steps. The design is described as thin, lightweight, and durable, with a look similar to regular glasses, making them comfortable to wear for extended periods.
The display technology combines micro-LEDs embedded in the frames with waveguide technology to project 640 x 350 monochrome images in front of both eyes. The display is bright and readable in daylight, though the resolution is relatively low. The imagery is described as almost imperceptible to others, even when content is displayed. The software includes a Dashboard that shows time, battery life, temperature, and notification counts. The teleprompter feature is particularly useful, allowing users to read scripts in front of them without looking down. However, navigation features are limited to walking and cycling directions, as driving directions are excluded for safety reasons.
The Even Realities G2 smart glasses have a battery life of up to two days, with a charging case that can provide up to seven additional charges. The glasses are priced at $599 / £599 / AU$649, with extra costs for prescription lenses. This places them in the premium category, significantly higher than many other smart glasses on the market. They are recommended for users who want camera-free smart glasses and need a teleprompter feature. However, they are not ideal for those seeking fully featured smart glasses with cameras, audio capabilities, or more advanced navigation options.
