Even Realities G2 Smarter Glasses Hands-On

San Francisco: The Even Realities G2 smart glasses look like regular eyewear but pack artificial intelligence features that can help during meetings and conversations.
These glasses can record conversations and turn speech into text without showing any signs they are recording. The company says audio isn’t saved, just the written words, but it still may feel wrong to use without asking people first.
The glasses work with a phone app that shows information through a small screen in front of your eyes. You can see news headlines, calendar events, and stock prices like the Nikkei Index. The app is simple to use but often has problems connecting.
The glasses need a strong Bluetooth connection to work properly. During testing, I had to reconnect them many times because they stopped working. Even after updates, they still don’t work smoothly all the time.
An optional ring accessory called the R1 helps control the glasses by using touch gestures. You can tap and swipe on the ring to scroll through menus without touching the glasses themselves.
The R1 ring also tracks sleep, steps, and heart rate like other fitness devices. While not as exact as dedicated fitness watches, it adds useful features to the glasses system. The ring takes some practice to use without opening menus by mistake.
