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.
