These smart glasses look like normal glasses
The Even Realities G1 Glasses are visually indistinguishable from normal glasses. But they superimpose information directly into the field of vision - also with the help of artificial intelligence.
So far, you can tell by looking at most glasses that they have additional technology built in. This is different with the Even Realities G1 Glasses, which are being shown as a series version at the CES tech fair in Las Vegas.
A completely normal pair of glasses
At 43 grams, the glasses frame is not much heavier than a version without technology. What's more, the weight is not on the nose, but at the very end of the temples. This is where the battery and all the technology is installed. This area is also the only one that appears more bulky than normal glasses.
The fact that the developers at Even Realities have already worked for other eyewear brands is also evident in the sophisticated accessories. Matching sunglasses clips are available for 100 francs or euros, a normal glasses case for 30 francs or euros and a charging case for 150 francs or euros.
Ultra-small projectors and artificial intelligence
You can't expect a perfect mixed reality experience in this mini design at the moment. Instead, two micro LED engines project content onto the lenses into the field of vision. This has a similar effect to a head-up display in a car: text and graphics appear to float in the air around two metres in front of you. According to the manufacturer, the projectors installed are currently the smallest of their kind.
In this first version, the glasses cannot display any colours, only characters in monochrome green. The brightness is automatically adjusted to a maximum of 1000 nits. Touch buttons and two microphones for voice commands are built into the temples - but there are no speakers. The battery should last around one and a half days.
What can be shown on the displays? Notifications from all apps, of course, but unfortunately you can't reply to them despite the microphones. The date, time and the next calendar entries can be displayed using the touch buttons.
There are also some features specially developed for the glasses:
The Even Realities G1 Glasses show what is already technically possible today. For the time being, they are interesting for a rather small target group that regularly uses one of the functions mentioned above. As soon as the screen can display colours and offers a few more functions, these glasses could also become an alternative to smartwatches.
Gadgets are my passion - whether you need them for the home office, for the household, for sport and pleasure or for the smart home. Or, of course, for the big hobby next to the family, namely fishing.
