When Apple finally unveiled its long-gestating Vision Pro Headset last year, it didn’t quite generate the buzz the tech giant had hoped for. For many, it recalled the debut of Google Glass — those peculiarly fragile-looking, lopsided smart glasses that came out of California in 2012 — and were met mostly with the question: “Why would I want them on my face?”
Even Realities, pioneers of what they call “quiet tech,” aim to answer that question with the Even G2 Display Smart Glasses. This second-generation wearable puts equal weight on design and digital capability — calling on software and optics engineers from Samsung, Philips, and Apple to develop the tech, while also enlisting Nikolaj Schnoor of Danish eyewear brand Lindberg to design the frames.
The resulting specs are built from magnesium alloy with aerospace-grade titanium temples, offered in two styles — round or rectangular — and three finishes: grey, brown, or green. Beneath their sleek exterior, dual micro-LED projectors beam information through waveguide lenses, creating a multi-layer 3D display that seems to float in front of the wearer. Features include instant translation, a teleprompter, navigation, and health tracking — but no Reels-ready, story-sharing camera. Meta Ray-Bans, these are not. Instead, they’re genuinely useful; prescription lenses are supported, and the battery lasts more than two days.
They also pair with the hands-free Even R1 Smart Ring, crafted from zirconia ceramic and stainless steel, for those who’d rather not be touching their temples all the time. It’s an intuitive, elegant addition, designed to disappear into your day. Take that, Google Glass.
