Even Realities G2 smart glasses.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even Realities<\/p>\n

Smart glasses like Meta\u2019s stable of eyewear products are built around being able to take photos, record what you say or shoot video, for instance. But Even Realities\u2019 products are deliberately camera- and speaker-free, to provide a respectful approach. <\/p>\n

I talked to Even Realities CEO Will Wang about the Even G2 glasses, the company\u2019s latest release. <\/p>\n

Design And Display: The Invisible HUD<\/h2>\n

The Even G2 glasses look pretty much like regular specs, until you see the batteries which sit behind your ears (though much of the time, people won\u2019t). What makes them smart is a display which is invisible to others but floats in front of the wearer\u2019s vision. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a green screen that\u2019s particularly adept at text, showing news updates or translating what\u2019s being spoken to you in real time. If you\u2019re making a presentation, it can scroll through your script in response to you speaking it. <\/p>\n

The Philosophy Of Camera-Free Wearables<\/h2>\n

I asked Wang what was behind the company\u2019s thinking in avoiding speakers and cameras. <\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of companies in the smart glasses category chase complexity, adding cameras and sensors to their products, which ultimately pulls you out of the moment. At Even Realities, we want to deliver a product that fits into your everyday life rather than distracting from it,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

There is a learning curve when wearing Even G2, but it\u2019s straightforward. Wang went on to explain the privacy angle. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are respectful when it comes to privacy, as our audience consists of entrepreneurs, politicians, professors, or doctors; all dealing with confidential and sensitive conversations, and walking into rooms where trust is key. For Even Realities, that is not a limitation, it\u2019s about recognizing true customer needs and adding value appropriately,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt Even Realities, privacy isn\u2019t a last-minute…<\/p>\n
