It\u2019s focused on doing a good job over whizz-bang features.
\nI appreciate devices that don\u2019t try to do too much. There are too many products throwing too many features at the consumer in the hope one or two sticks. I\u2019m reminded of the recently revived Pebble, which offers a pared down way to check your phone\u2019s notifications from your wrist, and little else. That\u2019s the best way to describe Even Realities\u2019 G1 smart glasses, which puts a second screen for your smartphone on your face.
\nG1 is almost aggressively low-tech, putting in your line of sight a dot matrix display that\u2019ll leap into life when required. You\u2019ll be able to see the time, phone notifications, calendar, stock and news updates from a handful of chosen publishers. Tap the temple tips (also known as earpieces) and you\u2019ll be able to speak to an AI to answer questions or dictate a note without touching your phone at all. Open the app to activate heads-up turn-by-turn directions, access real-time translation and use the glasses as a portable teleprompter.
\nOn devices like this, the limited feature set goes hand-in-hand with lowered expectations: If it promises the basics and delivers them, all good, right? Problems arise when it fails to do them well, or if it\u2019s obvious to anyone there are features that would work here but have been omitted. The G1 doesn’t stumble on the essentials, but I do find myself flip-flopping about how much praise they should get. They\u2019re useful right now, but I\u2019d love to see how much better they\u2019ll get in a year or two.
\nEven Realities G1
\nEven Realities’ G1 are smart glasses with a heads-up display for everday use. Notifications, Navigation, Translation and AI from the comfort of your head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
