Thank you all for watching! So these are my newest smart glasses and they're actually pretty good. Of the dozens of smart glasses I tested, I have never seen any like this. Every now and then, you try a new piece of tech and say “wow, this is the future” or at least some part of this. When I first saw these, I had so many questions like what can the displays show you? Can it see the outside world and act like iron man glasses? How do you control them? Can other people see what you see on the glasses? The list goes on and on. So these are the Even Realities G1 glasses Now I want to go over these in the list of questions I had when I first got them. Questions: What are these? Small unsuspecting glasses Small green micro LED display Can adjust the distance Oh, I almost forgot. Disclosure: NOT SPONSORED!! Can other people see it? Not really, but at the right angle, they can get a glimpse of the text What about when it is off? What do they do? There are really 7 things they can do Dashboard Notifications Works well, easy to dismiss with touch bar Easy to customize in the app. I only have messages and calls Look up to see them, so they are less distracting Navigation On foot or cycling only - no driving Cycling or scootering without the danger of lifting your wrist or opening your phone More discrete when walking in a new city Great if your hands are full Shows turn by turn directions Look up to see the whole map Shows speed Bright daylight can make this tricky - more on that later Translate Super cool implementation - look straight for translation, look up for original Shows time, language, and three lines of translation Sometimes it does not show the text on screen for long Shows you the transcript on your phone screen Need to open the app to engage with this AI Perplexity or ChatGPT Teleprompter I never really use this Note taking & organization Touch and hold right side for quick note How do you control them? Look up Touch bar Definitely can be finicky Hair can interfere with capacitive touch bars I touch with two fingers for more consistency Do they have a microphone and speaker? Can the display show images? It is a 640 x 200 display in each eye with a 25 deg FOV Claimed 100 nits and 20Hz refresh rate Think of it as a TI84 calculator - you can read easily, and some icons or charts look great, but I wouldn’t expect too much detail. It feels right though Can they see your surroundings or take photos? Can you reply to notifications? I don’t think so. At least not from what I was able to do What if it’s bright out? Can be prescription Can get sunglasses cover Blue filtering by default Are they comfortable? How long do they last? Claimed 1.5 days - I easily get a day I know josh vergara was telling me his last all day and he’s been using them for a couple months already How do they charge? Wireless charing Easy to align in the case Are they good? The good Display Form factor Versatility - prescription, sunglasses, blue light glasses. Different styles someday would be nice Notifications without needing to take your phone out = nice! Summary: they do very little but they do it really well The bad Connectivity issues - maybe my phone just shuts the app down too often though. Pixel loves doing that Bluetooth 5.2 though, so not quite the latest but this should be good enough! Sometimes annoying when you look up to drink water or something The big question will be what can this do that a smartwatch or phone cannot? MISSING Find my glasses Control options - you can really do very little with the controls AI needs to be faster Controls could be improved - both with speed and intuitive controlling Hair can interfere with capacitive touch sensors - I think they are in a poor location
