Current platform

Even G1

Even Realities (founded 2023, headquartered in Shenzhen with an international base in Berlin, led by ex-Apple Watch engineer Will Wang with co-founder Tom Ouyang and a team that came from the projector maker JMGO; more than $10M raised from China-focused VCs) makes the Even G1, minimalist display smart glasses that look like ordinary eyeglasses. At 44 grams in a magnesium and titanium frame, the G1 drives a monochrome green dot-matrix heads-up display through waveguide optics at 640 by 200 resolution and about a 25-degree field of view, deliberately with no camera, no speakers, and no microphone audio output, in service of all-day social acceptability and battery life of about a day and a half. Its core features are turn-by-turn navigation, a teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, transcription, and an Even AI question-and-answer feature, at $599 plus $150 for prescription lenses. The registry records it at commercial maturity, shipping and widely reviewed through 2025. On AI substance this is a display device first: the hardware HUD, teleprompter, navigation, and translation are the substance, while Even AI is effectively a thin cloud Q&A wrapper, constrained by the deliberate absence of any camera or microphone-driven multimodal input, so it is honestly framed as HUD eyewear with optional cloud AI rather than an AI device. It sits in the wearable cohort because it positions AI assistance as a feature, but the AI-veneer characterization is recorded explicitly.
