Even Realities G1 brings holographic displays into everyday eyewear
The Even Realities G1 represents a significant breakthrough in smart glasses by integrating advanced projection technology into an everyday eyewear design. These innovative glasses project information directly into the user's field of vision, making text and graphics appear to float approximately two meters in front of their eyes.

Design and workmanship
Exceptionally understated design
The G1 stands out from other smart glasses with its understated design. Weighing just 43 grams, it's barely heavier than a conventional pair of glasses. The frame is made of a magnesium alloy with a sandstone coating, while the temples are crafted from a hypoallergenic titanium alloy and silicone.
A distinctive design feature is the patented screwless hinge, which ensures an elegant appearance and high durability. The only visible technical components are located at the ends of the temples, where the battery, electronics, and touch controls are housed.
Available variants and prices
The Even G1 is available in Germany starting at €699. It comes in two basic versions – the classic G1 A and the newer G1 B – each in various colors such as gray, green, and brown. Prescription lenses are available for an additional €129-150, including progressive lenses.
Revolutionary HAOS technology
Holistic Adaptive Optical System
The heart of the G1 is the HAOS™ (Holistic Adaptive Optical System). Two micro-LED projectors in the frame corners project content onto the inner surface of the lenses. These lenses use waveguide technology to direct the projected image to the eye, while the lenses themselves remain clear and transparent.
Technical specifications
The G1's display technology offers the following features:
- Resolution: 640 × 200 pixels per eye
- Display: Monochrome green display
- Brightness: 1000 nits with automatic brightness adjustment
- Refresh rate: 20Hz
- Field of view: Virtual screen appears approximately 2 meters away
The digital lenses consist of two layers bonded together – the corrective lens and the waveguide lens – which together are no thicker than a normal eyeglass lens.
Functional scope and features
Core functions
The G1 offers a variety of practical applications:
Voice notes (QuickNote)
By pressing and holding the right touch button, the glasses record spoken notes, convert them into text using AI, and display them in the field of vision.
Real-time translation
The glasses can translate conversations in foreign languages in real time and display the translation as text. Thirteen different languages are supported.
navigation
Turn-by-turn navigation is displayed directly in the field of vision, without the user having to look at their smartphone.
Teleprompter
For presentations, a script can run on the display while the presenter maintains eye contact with the audience.
AI assistant
By touching the left touch button, the user can ask questions to the integrated AI, which works with ChatGPT or Perplexity.
Notifications and connectivity
The G1 connects to the smartphone via Dual Sync Bluetooth technology and can display selected notifications, such as WhatsApp messages or emails, directly in the user's field of vision. The user can predefine which apps are allowed to send notifications.
Battery life and charging
A major advantage of the G1 is its exceptional battery life. With up to 1.5 days of use under normal conditions, it significantly outperforms other smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Meta, which only last 6-8 hours. The included charging case also serves as a storage box and fully recharges the glasses overnight.
Comparison with alternatives
Even G1 vs. Ray-Ban Meta
In direct comparison with the popular Ray-Ban Meta glasses, the Even G1 reveals significant differences in approach. While the Even G1 features a micro-LED HUD display, the Ray-Ban Meta has no display at all. However, the Ray-Ban Meta is equipped with a 12-megapixel camera, which the Even G1 lacks. In terms of audio, the Ray-Ban Meta scores points with its open-ear speakers, while the Even G1 has no speakers. A significant advantage of the Even G1 is its battery life of 1.5 days compared to only 4-6 hours for the Ray-Ban Meta. Both models offer AI features, although the Even G1 relies on text-based functions.
While the Ray-Ban Meta focuses on multimedia functions such as photo/video recording and audio playback, the G1 concentrates on information display and productive applications.
Practical experience and tests
Positive reviews
Users and testers particularly praise the high level of comfort and the discreet design. The teleprompter function is rated as especially sophisticated and useful for professional applications. The navigation function works reliably even with a weak GPS signal.
Limitations and criticisms
Some limitations should be noted:
- No speakers for audio playback or telephony
- The display may be difficult to read in bright sunlight
- Higher price compared to other smart glasses
- Dependence on the smartphone app for full functionality
Availability in Germany
The Even G1 is available through selected partner opticians in Germany. Official retailers include Hungry Eyes, Kastner Brillen Haus, Benner Optik, and Optiker Staude. These retailers also offer the option of trying on the glasses before purchase and having custom prescription lenses made.
