Even Realities is releasing the next version of its lightweight smart glasses , and this time it’s pairing them with an entirely new device that will act as both a controller and health tracker. The Even G2 Display Smart Glasses are a more refined version of the smart glasses , and you'll be able to interact with them without having to touch the frames or uses voice commands thanks to the new Even R1 Smart Ring.
The G2 features an updated version of the Even Realities' HAO optical engine , that still displays text in bright green, but now with added depth and sharpness. For example, Even Realities says the new glasses can display pop-ups like AI prompts and notifications at a different depth from the glasses' normal interface, so you don't lose the context of whatever you're reading. The G2 also supports a wider range of prescription lenses , making them more accessible to people who already wear glasses. In comparison to the G1, Even Realities says the G2 has 54 percent slimmer temples and, in a first for the company, is IP67-rated for dust and water resistance. The G2 also gets two days of battery life in comparison to the G1's one and a half days, and its charging case can provide up to seven full charges.While the G2 glasses can still be controlled by tapping a built-in touchpad or using voice commands, the R1 Smart Ring will let you interact with the smart glasses without moving your arm. The R1 is made from ceramic and medical-grade stainless steel, and features a flat touchpad surface for activating the G2's interface. Besides a touch sensor for navigation, the R1 also includes an optical heart rate sensor and accelerometer for tracking your heart rate and steps, which can be viewed on the G2. While less technically advanced than the Neural Band Meta included with the , Even Realities ring seems like it can make controlling its glasses similarly discrete, while being useful in its own right as a health tracker.Even Realities is also adding a new AI skill alongside its glasses and ring. The G2 supports the same translation, notifications and teleprompter features as the company's last model, but this time includes a feature called "Conversate" that attempts to offer AI-generated information during conversations. Even Realities says Conversate can provide explanations, context and follow-up questions during a conversation, and then generate a summary and key points once you're finished talking. The whole thing sounds a bit distracting, but might be something you have to demo to understand.That extra layer of complication seems inherent to the pitch for both the G2 glasses and the R1 ring. While Even Realities has made its smart glasses more convenient, and they're definitely not trying to be a phone replacement in the same way Meta's glasses are, they do seem like they'll have more of a learning curve than the last generation. The Even G2 Display Smart Glasses and Even R1 Smart Ring are available to order today, November 12, for $599 and $249, respectively. Even Realities says that anyone who purchases the G2 will be able to receive the R1 and other accessories for 50 percent off for a limited time.
