G2 Hardware Improvements
The Even Realities G2 smart glasses are an updated version of the G1 model. Key hardware changes include a lighter design, taller waveguide prisms, and an increased display resolution of 640 x 350, up from 640 x 200. The field of view has expanded to 27.5 degrees from 25, and the refresh rate is now 60Hz, an increase from 20Hz. Peak brightness has also improved to 1,200 nits from 1,000 nits. The G2s feature a larger battery and four microphones, doubling the two found in the original model.
Durability and Pricing
The G2 smart glasses now carry an IP65 rating for dust and water ingress, a significant improvement over the G1's limited water resistance. The base model of the G2 is priced at $599 and is available in Panto and Rectangle styles, with color options of grey, brown, or green. Prescription lenses are an additional cost, starting at $159 and potentially reaching $349 for stronger prescriptions.
Control Scheme Criticisms
Even Realities introduced new control methods for the G2, including on-device touchpads located on the temple tips. While this placement helps with weight balance, it is described as making interaction feel awkward. The company also offers an optional smart ring, the Even R1, intended for remote control of the smart glasses. This addition is viewed as further complicating the user experience rather than simplifying it.
Functionality and Purpose
The G2 smart glasses function as an alternative to smartwatches, projecting data such as notifications, news headlines, and turn-by-turn directions into the user's field of vision. They also support real-time translation, teleprompter functionality, and AI interaction. The G2s do not include a forward-facing camera.
