The Everyday Display Smart Glasses

And that's where the touchpad is, as opposed to over here, which is like, bro, what are you doing? I know. I mean, they're nice glasses, but what are you doing? So, I got the new version of the Even Reality's glasses. These are the G2. The G1 has been popular around the office. In fact, Will do really hasn't taken them off much. Ultimately, this is a thinner, more titanium, improved version of the Even Reality G1. And probably the biggest difference with the G2 is this new input method, which is a ring. You don't have to do this motion, but instead you can just tap on the side of a ring, which is pretty cool and obviously far more covert. And that's important with glasses like this because the whole point of these is that they blend in, that they look like regular everyday glasses that just so happen to have a display. And you're not going to be watching videos on these things, and it's not about being a vegetable on the couch. You're living your daily life and you're getting some important or useful information available to you via the glasses as necessary without completely disrupting your view of reality. Even realities, you know what I mean? Like they evened it out. It's like here's reality, here's augmented. It's even. We evened it out. I mean, maybe that's part of the naming. Uh, first things first, very nondescript packaging, which I don't mind, honestly. Futuristic product, plain box, good pull tab. That's You need to have that. Lovely. Ah, and this is just a shipping box. We get a nicer box on the inside. The everyday display smart glasses. So, it's all about making it as thin and light as possible, which they've continued to do, even though we're only on the second generation. The first one was already pretty much just like wearing regular frames. And of course, you can also go ahead and put your own lenses in here if you wear prescription lenses. Two boxes on the inside here. Oh, this is cool. They included the sunglass clip, which is just taking things to another level. That's kind of cool. So, this is the glasses box. Honestly, it seems like you just bought glasses as opposed to any kind of tech because it would probably ship in a box with the same form factor. The unboxing experience just has a premium feel to it. In general, you can see the dot matrix style impression of the new glasses. Enjoy undisturbed connections. Now, welcome to even realities. To most people, what you're holding might look like just a pair of glasses, but when you put them on, you unleash a quietly extraordinary power that fuels your life every single day. the unboxing experience here. Your boom to there, then you lift here, drops those, then you go here and then you go here. I mean, that is incredibly efficient and well done. So, we have a nice braided cable. We have temple sleeves and nose pads. I mean, this is good stuff because you really want to make sure that you get the right fit so that they're just comfortable. And look how you can tell just from looking at these pads how thin the actual glasses are going to be because look how thin the padding is. They've also given you a cleaning cloth here. A little bit more paperwork and the glasses themselves and another pull tab. Okay, they're getting top points just for unboxing experience alone. Sort of soft touch material on the case. There's a foot on the bottom so it sticks to whatever surface you put it on. The only giveaway that there's something beyond regular prescription glasses in here is the fact that there's a tiny USBC cable on the back and I guess the fact that there's an LED in the front. You open this up and there are your glasses. So, this is where they're going to live. This is where they're going to charge. It kind of grips there with a magnet as well. So, if you do tip it upside down with the lid open, they're not going to go flying. So, I'm going to pull those out and close it just so we're clear. So, the only giveaway here that these are something special is on the back here. However, this portion is basically hidden behind your ear when you're wearing them. And it also acts kind of as a counterwe for the weight of the frame. Let me show you what I mean. put this on. And you can see how my ear is basically blocking. I mean, if you're looking for it, you can see that it's a bit different. Some might think it's just like sort of a design. Now, if you hit the right angle, you can see the shape of a display or a screen, but I can tell you like ever since Will snatched the original version and he's been wearing them. I very rarely pick up on that aspect when I'm just working with him in daily activities. And that's even in an environment like this where we have a lot of sort of lighting and reflections and things going on. Like I've got a really big light here. The entire ceiling is a light. And as I mentioned previously, if you do want to wear them pretty much permanently, you just put your own prescription lenses in there and you're good to go. Okay, now let's I'm just going to wear these in the off setting while I open up the other portion, which is the ring. And check out the uniformity of the unboxing experience. Drop the lid. Drop the sides. Wow. Little pull tab. Cool. Okay. And then, oh, this is how you charge it up. Packaging top notchotch again. Pull the braided cable out. Satisfying. Look at how I mean, you can't even really imagine a charger smaller than that. Now, this thing is actually sort of like a health tracker as well. It's going to be able to see your blood oxygen, things like that. And that's how it charges. Just right on there like that. Tiny. Cool. If the goal is to have this data available to you at all times, have these tools available to you at all times, it does make sense that it's on a standard set of glasses, which you can also add the sunglass attachment to, which I just remembered we have over here. So, let's go ahead and check that out. That's how that works. A little diagram for how to attach it. Comes with a case. Little case to keep these lenses protected. Two in one. Sunglasses or glasses. The tint is not like crazy. It's obviously making a difference, but it's not totally black out. I mean, I'm not in direct sunlight. I can see you pretty well. It's got like a fade to it. So, now everything is ready to go and we're in a tutorial mode. And I'm just going to pop these on. I'm actually going to leave the sunglass portion on because I think they look pretty damn cool like that. Like that's the bottom line. And I get my first taste of the high contrast on the display. Green like sort of almost dot matrixish bladeunneresque display. It is low tech on purpose. It's just to deliver clear information, crystal clear text. I see some news from the New York Times. Mike Brown used to babysit JB Bicker staff. Now the coaches are at top the east. I can modify my dashboard, all these different sources from a variety of different categories. Or I can go ahead and dial in specific sources that I want to have there. I can also put stocks in here if I want to see how my investments are doing. I can have my calendar populate this space. Head-up display is turned on. Let's see how much of an angle it takes to initiate. It's there. Okay, that was I probably overdid it on that one. If you want to have less of a tilt, you can change the actual tilt by degrees here inside of the application. So, I've got it at 30. I could make it more subtle. So, now I'm at 20 and it's there. Now, maybe I'm more covert. Maybe people don't know what I'm up to. It's possible. We can also have our settings for auto display off. You may want that display to be persistent and stay on. Obviously, this is going to come at the expense of battery life, but I like the fact that they'll let you do it. So, you have 3, 5, 10, 15, and never as your options. I can actually move the display itself. So, I can go far, mid, or near. And this brings the image either closer to me or further away. Near puts it like closer than Mo and the camera there. Mid puts it on that wall that I'm looking at right there. I would say that is 8 ft away. And far puts it at least 10 ft away. Okay. So, whatever is comfortable for your eyes, that's where you're going to dial it in. Now, we also have the teleprompter mode, which is a very powerful functionality for any smart glasses, but again, maybe even more so here considering how clear and concise these things are for text. Welcome to even reality. To most people, what you're holding might look like just a pair of glasses, but when you put them on, you unleash a quietly extraordinary power that fuels your life every single day. I'm just going to take the sunglass portion off. I I want you guys to actually see my eyeballs. At Even Realities, we believe technology should stay in the background, improving your day without interrupting it, helping you feel more prepared and more present. Now, of course, the other cool feature we have here is translation. Realtime translation, uno, cappuccino. Good morning. One cappuccino, please. Very simple. No, no, very simple, but good. And now I'm going to continue to talk and we'll see what it comes up with in Italian. Parlal vermo kos in italiano. Anyway, I don't know. That was me just saying now it's going to translate back into Italian. It's pretty quick though. I'm not going to lie. It's pretty fast. I'm looking at the screen here, but it's actually also popping up here. See, we also have navigation built in. I mean, obviously, this is kind of pedestrian style navigation. So if you're on a bike or walking in a city, again, if you want to kind of keep your wits about you and stay engaged with the environment, you will see turn by turn popping up in your display rather than having to look at your phone. The conversate functionality, they call it a conversational co-pilot. So it's real time subtitling and AI cues to help explain terms. So, if I'm conversating with somebody and all of a sudden they drop, you know how somebody will like vocabulary drop something and like I would say some outlandish word like outlandish and then all of a sudden you would be like, "Why does Lou have to do that to me and then you would see right under it the definition of outlandish with the AI insight. So, you just flow like you're a guy who uses outlandish. Does it really work like that though? Yeah, it like made like a note about the word outlandish. Crazy. I'm going to click on it. Strikingly out of the ordinary. Bizarre. Wo. So, it did. Yeah. It's pretty cool. So, we are now currently recording this conversation. You can see the transcription is actually coming up in real time. It's also coming up in real time on my glasses in order to let me know that I'm recording whatever it is that's going on. So if this happened to be some kind of important meeting or some kind of lecture, then I would have a transcript of everything that transpired in that entire dialogue. So what we can then do with our transcriptions is uh look at the AI summary of them which will set up kind of key points and important moments so that we don't need to necessarily remember each piece of dialogue, remember the entire meeting. So it's got built-in AI to help with that. And this was just from me talking about the new features on the device, but you can see the way it created the notes. Materials have been upgraded from the previous generation. The new materials contribute to strength and weight savings. Each end piece is 15% thinner, and the weight of the entire frame is reduced by 20%. Like just boom. Like it just gave me my key points in the AI summary. Now, last but not least, even AI. I can initiate even AI by saying, "Hey, even what's the largest creature to ever live on planet Earth?" Blue whale. So, I'll have a record of this AI exchange on my phone for reference at a later point, but I'm also seeing it in my glasses as well. The location of the touchpad makes another difference because it looks like you're scratching behind your ear, which I do a lot of. It's one of my favorite moves. And that's where the touchpad is as opposed to over here, which is like, bro, what are you doing? Just caressing. Why are you you I know. I mean, they're nice glasses, but what are you doing? Depending on the angle you're looking at someone, the ear covers a lot of that tech. The watch sends a strong social signal to us. Even though we're not normally checking time there anymore, but like if you're in a social setting and you're doing this or buzzing, everybody notices. Everybody around you notices. It's not the most seamless and it's definitely not in the background. And that's what again what these ones are aiming to. I don't really don't think anyone's going to notice when you get that notification on your face, which is pretty wild. Let's go ahead and discover the ring because this is obviously new. I'm going to add this device. So, you know, this input, there's nothing wrong with it. It's really smooth, actually. Allows you to move through your stocks, events, obviously the news, stories. I mean, it's a scroll. That's your main kind of input. Scroll and tap. But I can wake it up like this. Oh, now that's discreet. Now, I'm scrolling. That's discreet. I can just be reading my stuff, looking at my notifications. These little dots over here, that is your touchpad. This maps to everything that your touchpad is already doing. It's just doing it on your hand instead. and with these subtle little inputs and it's a million times better obviously than reaching up and touching the glasses because it's just on your I like that input. Now you're even more covert and seamless with it. The other thing that the Ring does for you is it gives you your health metrics, step data, calories burned data, sleep data, skin temperature data, heart rate data, HRV, one of my favorites, and SPO2 all on your ring, which is also doubling as your input method for the glasses, which is cool. That's the angle that even realities is taking. They're saying, "Hey, this stuff is going to blend. It's going to look like the tech. It's going to look like it's not tech." That's really what it is. It's going to look like the regular version of the thing. Even if that means we dial back some of the functionality, the most important aspect is the design. And then the functionality, we're going to fit that in. Form over function. But then it's not like they don't function. They just sort of limit and hone in on what the functionality is so that there's not this tremendous amount of complexity as to what the value ad is and at no expense from a design perspective. These honestly feel a lot like the glasses that I wear on a daily basis, which says a lot because I even struggle to find ones that I consider to be comfortable for glasses that have no tech in them at all. These are probably slightly heavier, but because the weight is placed behind the ear, there's a balance to it which makes them really feel like regular glasses up front in the nose area. And the same goes for the ring. The ring doesn't really give anything away to anyone else that it's a piece of tech. You'll know it. Everybody else doesn't need to know it.
