Why This Matters

The Even Realities G2 smart glasses introduce a developer-friendly platform that enables the creation of web-based apps and widgets, enhancing the functionality and customization of wearable displays. Their privacy-focused design and flexible development workflow make them a significant step forward for enterprise and consumer applications, emphasizing seamless integration and user privacy in augmented reality experiences.

Key Takeaways

The Even Realities G2 are smart glasses with dual micro-LED displays (one per lens), a four-microphone array, touchpads on the temples, and optional R1 ring for additional input. They pair with your phone via Bluetooth 5.2.

Key Hardware Specs ​

Spec Value Display 576 x 288 pixels per eye Color depth 4-bit greyscale (16 shades of green) Connectivity Bluetooth 5.2 Audio input 4-mic array (single audio stream, 16kHz PCM) G2 touchpads Press, double press, swipe up, swipe down R1 touchpads Press, double press, swipe up, swipe down (optional accessory) Camera / Speaker None

The glasses are privacy-focused by design — no camera, no speaker. App logic runs on the phone; the glasses handle display rendering and native scroll processing.

What You Can Build ​

The Even Hub platform currently supports plugins — background-layer apps that run alongside the core glasses experience. The platform is actively expanding to include:

Dashboard widgets — glanceable cards on the glasses home screen

— glanceable cards on the glasses home screen Dashboard layouts — custom arrangements of widgets and information

— custom arrangements of widgets and information AI skills and integrations — intelligent features that extend the glasses' capabilities

Plugins are web apps built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript) and the Even Hub SDK. You develop with any framework you prefer — Vite, React, vanilla JS — and the SDK provides the bridge between your web code and the glasses hardware.
