1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,879
Smart glasses. They have come quite a long way just in the past year or two. I

2
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:11,920
mean, we went from devices that had big chunky bulky things on the front. I did

3
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:17,279
not like that. As cool as it was, we've gone from that to sleek, sultry,

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:22,880
stylish. About a year ago, I looked at the Even Realities G1 and I was I was

5
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,920
pretty impressed because especially at that time, there was nothing really on

6
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,359
the market [music] that was as sleek and

7
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,920
nice and uh performative. And now we

8
00:00:31,359 --> 00:00:38,000
have Oh, the G2. Did you see that? I love they had the same kind of that was

9
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,800
that's what they did before. They got the pizzazz. The G2 makes a number of

10
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,520
discrete [music] improvements, but overall still looks sleek. Let's see

11
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:53,120
what's in the box first. And also, what's in this box? This is a ring. There's a ring now. Hold your horses.

12
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:57,600
Ooh, what do they write? I feel like I remember them writing something. Quietly

13
00:00:55,199 --> 00:01:02,000
extraordinary power for your everyday life. That makes me feel so good. What

14
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:05,920
they're getting across here, though, is, you know, what I do like about these is

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,000
that it's a product that is meant to try, it's trying to fit into normal life

16
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:15,760
instead of trying to transform life into a horrible dystopia, which is, I think,

17
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:17,520
better. got a quick guide that all looks

18
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:21,520
very interesting, but I don't need to familiarize myself with it too much

19
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:25,600
because spoiler alert, I have been using these for the past uh week or [music]

20
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,880
two just to kind of understand. In the bottom of the box, we have once again a

21
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:36,320
nice uh cleaning cloth here, folded wonderfully that I'm going to ruin a

22
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:40,159
sleeved cable and that is, you know, that's three [music] that's three and

23
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:46,079
1/2 ft. I'm a scientist. I need to know these things. And in the middle we have

24
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:49,360
uh temple sleeves and nose pads because

25
00:01:46,079 --> 00:01:51,920
the design of the even G1 and the G2 it

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:55,840
is so sleek that some people might want some extra protection in between their

27
00:01:53,920 --> 00:02:02,000
skin and the metal. And we got safety and warranty information. But there's

28
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:03,759
also the Even Realities R1, a smart

29
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,680
ring. They did not have this the first go around. I love the unboxing

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,039
experience. I got to say they're thinking about what it's going to be

31
00:02:08,879 --> 00:02:14,560
like. They're using empathy. So, there's the ring itself. It looks shiny. Look at

32
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:19,360
that. There's all sorts of sensors in there. Can you see that? Ooh, there it

33
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:25,280
is. Hold on. No, not yet. I'll do that after. Okay, this is the charging pad

34
00:02:22,791 --> 00:02:29,599
[music] for the ring. Oh, how long is it? That seems a bit longer, actually. 3

35
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,720
and 1/2 ft plus a little bit. >> Measuring tape. >> Hair science.

36
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:37,680
>> No, some parts of science are just vibes. And this just magnetically

37
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:41,440
attaches on there like that. And if you plug the other end in, there's a little

38
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,879
thing that'll light up. Trust me. Trust me. Safety and warranty information.

39
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:48,480
Okay, ready? Got it. Okay, good. Let's look at the actual glasses themselves.

40
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:53,599
They got [music] this magnetic uh closing case here and a USBC port on the

41
00:02:51,599 --> 00:02:56,640
back. And you just open it up. There's a magnetic thing on the back so it

42
00:02:55,040 --> 00:03:01,440
attaches. So, you can leave it open like that if you want to display it.

43
00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:04,480
Well, as you can see, you know, if I hide these the little dongle thing on

44
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:09,200
the back that looks like a regular pair of glasses, doesn't it? Oh, did I see the display for a second? Oh, and they

45
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,720
went away. But those are the wavegu displays. They're small. You can't even

46
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,560
tell that there's display hardware really unless you look closely. If you

47
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,800
saw the G1 video, you might be thinking those look exactly the same. BUT YOU'D

48
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:27,840
BE WRONG because the temples are now built with full titanium and they're 53%

49
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:31,280
thinner at 1.2 mm. The overall frame

50
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,760
size is reduced by 20% and the end piece

51
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:38,000
here is actually reduced size by 15%. So, there are differences and there are

52
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:42,799
also differences on the inside which we will get to. But overall, when you look

53
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:46,799
at them, I'm an even better wizard now than I was

54
00:03:44,799 --> 00:03:51,040
before. Oh, hold on. I forgot to mention a couple things. So, on the end piece

55
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:55,680
here, that is where the touchpad is. There's tap controls. Double tap to go

56
00:03:53,360 --> 00:04:00,239
back. You can hold tap and hold to bring up the options within the UI. There's

57
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:04,000
another touch pad on the other side, but they are interchangeable. You can use

58
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:08,799
either touchpad. We have four microphones, two on the back and two on

59
00:04:06,799 --> 00:04:13,680
the front. I didn't mention you can also swipe on the uh on the touchpad back

60
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:21,919
here, but there are no other controls. However, there are more controls on the

61
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:25,600
smart ring on the R1. Enough is enough.

62
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:27,360
Okay, as I put on the glasses, the

63
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:32,639
display is there to greet me, and I can double tap on the ring to dismiss it. on

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,080
the previous model to dismiss it, you'd have to be reaching back and if you were

65
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:43,280
like looking at something, you're like, "Ah, no, I don't. The display's in the way." And you like keep touching your

66
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:46,400
head. So, the R1 has this touch pad on

67
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:48,203
it. As you can see, where these dots are

68
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,600
on the edge of the ring, that's the uh [music] touch pad. So, you can swipe up

69
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:55,680
and down on that. You can tap, you can double tap, you can tap and hold. But

70
00:04:53,360 --> 00:05:01,199
this isn't just a control ring. It also has a PPG sensor in there for heart rate

71
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:05,199
and blood oxygen level as well as a skin temperature sensor and an accelerometer

72
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:09,199
so it can track your steps and stuff because that is another new thing that

73
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:12,880
the G2 has that the G1 did not. It can give you some insights on sleep. It's

74
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:16,080
been tracking me and I'm actually a little bit scared to see what it finds.

75
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:22,479
The ring itself is apparently made with a zirconia ceramic lined with medical

76
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,440
grade stainless steel that even reality

77
00:05:22,479 --> 00:05:30,240
says gives it a silky smooth finish. One thing that I feel like I would actually

78
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:32,400
like is some kind of texture to know if

79
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:36,000
I'm if my thumb is on the touchpad. Most of the time you can tell because the top

80
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:39,600
of the ring is flat and it has the Even Reality's uh logo on it. However, most

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,960
of the time if I'm like, "Okay, I want the display up." I can just like double

82
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:49,039
tap on the ring and it shows up and I can double tap back. So, as with the G1,

83
00:05:45,759 --> 00:05:50,720
the G2 uses what you might think of as

84
00:05:49,039 --> 00:05:54,400
sort of like a fighter jet heads up display with like everything displayed

85
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:58,639
just in green. However, there have been some key improvements. It's a 75% larger

86
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:02,639
display. And they also have some distance to it now. So, you can set it

87
00:06:00,254 --> 00:06:06,000
[music] to near or mid or far away. Maybe if you're outside, you set it to

88
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:10,720
more far away because you'll be looking at things that far away and then you don't have to focus focus focus back.

89
00:06:09,039 --> 00:06:15,199
Here you can adjust the brightness of the display, which apparently goes up to

90
00:06:12,639 --> 00:06:19,280
1,200 nits. I've had it actually basically as low as it goes because you

91
00:06:17,284 --> 00:06:24,560
[music] can I can see it. And the benefit of this particular kind of smart

92
00:06:22,319 --> 00:06:28,880
glasses is that it's not presenting me like a color screen, like an Android

93
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,400
screen that like kind of blocks stuff out. I can see in between the [music]

94
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,600
letters and stuff. So even if the display is right in front of me, I can

95
00:06:33,919 --> 00:06:38,720
still choose to kind of focus beyond it and see what's behind it. And even

96
00:06:37,039 --> 00:06:43,600
reality says that that's partially possible because of their holistic

97
00:06:40,864 --> 00:06:47,759
[music] adaptive optics technology. They say it's proprietary. Like they figured

98
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:51,280
out how to make the microLEDD projectors and the wave guides and the lenses kind

99
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:55,440
of work together so that everything stays very clear yet crisp. Those

100
00:06:53,964 --> 00:07:01,039
[music] are the same thing. If you must know, the resolution of the displays in

101
00:06:57,759 --> 00:07:02,160
each lens is 640x 350. But you're not

102
00:07:01,039 --> 00:07:06,880
going to be watching movies on these things. I [music] think that the G1 kind of took a bit more of an approach where

103
00:07:05,599 --> 00:07:11,680
you want to be present. You want to be looking at what's around you in the world and then if you want some

104
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,840
information, you can kind of look up and see it and it's like, oh, okay, I'm [music] checking that and then you go

105
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:19,840
back. You can still set the display so that it's like near the top of your

106
00:07:17,599 --> 00:07:23,840
view, but it being larger means that if you want more information there, it's

107
00:07:22,130 --> 00:07:27,759
[music] there. It is also nice to be able to have this dashboard that they

108
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:31,599
have set up where you can see the clock and [music] the it shows you the

109
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:36,160
temperature and your notification count and then these screens that you can

110
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:41,680
swipe through. They've got news stocks you're following, your calendar at a

111
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:45,520
glance, a task [music] list, and your health information. And you can tap into

112
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:50,160
each of those things and get more information. [music] Let's see what else we got going on the in the app. So,

113
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,840
there's a moon button over here. That's silent mode. So, you can just turn the

114
00:07:51,759 --> 00:07:58,240
display off entirely. You can turn it back on by touching and holding on the

115
00:07:56,319 --> 00:08:02,639
touch pads at the back. Here's where you can customize your dashboard. You can

116
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:05,440
choose specific news sources to add or you can just say, "Okay, I want

117
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:12,479
generally business, science, and technology, the only things that matter." And then calendar. This will by

118
00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:17,120
default sync with your Google calendar on Android and with your Apple calendar

119
00:08:15,199 --> 00:08:20,560
on iOS. If you're wondering what this head-up display, it was in the G1 as

120
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,759
well. If you want to activate the display, you can look up. Oh, I'm

121
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:27,599
getting too much reality. I need to connect to the internet in some way.

122
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,879
There it is. By default, the display will turn off by itself after 10

123
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:35,120
seconds, but you can modify that to go down to 3 seconds or just never. You

124
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:39,120
always want to be in the matrix. You're It's cipher. Other than that, though, we

125
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:43,440
got some familiar features. Translate, live translation. We're going to test

126
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:48,800
that out. Teleprompting, navigating with maps, quick list, which is like notes,

127
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:54,000
and even AI, which is like a chatbot. But there's also a new feature called

128
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Conversate, which will run while you're

129
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:00,800
having a conversation [music] and transcribe everything that's happening

130
00:08:57,680 --> 00:09:03,279
and also pull up interesting notes using

131
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,399
AI. I had it listen in during a writer's meeting. [music] And it was kind of

132
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:12,240
funny. [laughter] After it picks up all that stuff, you can scroll to the bottom here and it'll

133
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:15,920
have concepts, suggestions, BIOS, and it'll have BIOS of the people that were

134
00:09:14,136 --> 00:09:20,959
[music] mentioned in the meeting. Elijah is a prophet in the Hebrew Bible. That's

135
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:24,240
our Elijah. Context suggests Mark is involved in the team's work and needs to

136
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:28,000
figure something out tomorrow with a speaker. So, that's going to be a big

137
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,240
task for Mark. You can also access the raw transcript, which I felt like was

138
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:36,640
pretty accurate. You can set this feature to use either the phone

139
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:39,839
microphone or the microphone on the Even G2. And I was using the phone

140
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:44,880
microphone. My phone was on my desk. There were people talking like halfway

141
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:47,519
across the room behind my chair and it was picking it up like pretty well.

142
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:52,320
There were a couple times where I was like, "Okay, that person mumbled a little bit and it got confused, but

143
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:56,800
overall I was like, "Wow, I'm going to come back and and hold this against you

144
00:09:55,040 --> 00:10:01,120
big time [music] later." Up above the bio section, though, you're going to

145
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:03,519
have key points and then you can also go

146
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:07,920
and [music] check off action items. I'm not personally in a lot of situations

147
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:11,200
where I'm going to be using this, but I can see people, you know, like in kind

148
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,959
of more corporate settings where they're like, "Oh, we need to we had a lot of

149
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:19,680
stuff [music] discussed conversating." Now, when I was in that conversation,

150
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:22,800
uh, I could see everything popping up as it was happening, but you can also turn

151
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:26,842
that off. So, [music] while the conversation is happening, maybe the transcript is going, but you don't, you

152
00:10:25,839 --> 00:10:31,600
know, you're not being distracted [music] by like, and Mark is going to do this, and you're like, "Oh, oh, that's

153
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:37,440
who Mark is." And that kind of goes along with like even G2's whole approach

154
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:41,680
here to smart glasses that I find so interesting. These are not a pair of

155
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:45,360
glasses that is meant for you to [music] scroll your Instagram reels on. They're

156
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:49,120
meant to be kind of a functional tool that like you can just kind of plug into

157
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:53,519
your normal life and get some helpful information while also again I can't

158
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:56,640
emphasize this enough wearing a pair of glasses that looks normal. Sort of.

159
00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,880
Maybe I wouldn't call this normal. Maybe I look classy. Do I look like I'm going

160
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:05,040
to deny your application to be a museum curator? You're an alter.

161
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:09,360
>> You look way [music] more pretentious than that. >> Thank you. The other brand new feature

162
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:14,160
in the app here is the health section. You can have my whole biology laid bare

163
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:18,079
for you guys here. I did 193 steps, which is not very many, but I was taking

164
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,600
the ring off and putting it on. Okay, I haven't I haven't worn it straight for

165
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:26,640
two weeks. I'm sorry. What is this? I've burned 1,600 cal kilo calories. Hey,

166
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:32,079
even what does kal stand for? It's a unit

167
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:35,920
unit of energy. To measure the energy content of food, it is equivalent to

168
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:41,200
1,000 [music] calories, small calories. By the way, that was the even AI that is

169
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:45,839
uh available. You can turn on or off the wake word. So, it's listening, but it's

170
00:11:43,279 --> 00:11:51,440
a hey even. And it is it's a it's a chatbot. And it is not as much of a

171
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:56,720
personal assistant as it is meant to be used for information. So, you can't ask

172
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:01,279
it to like text people back, but you can ask it to take a note. You can tell it

173
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:05,839
to start translate. You can tell it to use the specific features, but it's not

174
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:10,959
going to be like a Google Assistant kind of like everything assistant, which

175
00:12:08,399 --> 00:12:15,120
again kind of goes with the philosophy here. But back to the ring. It can give

176
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,160
you some information about your sleep, except I didn't wear it while I was

177
00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:21,760
sleeping. But up here, we have a productivity score. Flex how well your

178
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:25,279
body is prepared [music] for focus and energy today based on signals from

179
00:12:23,839 --> 00:12:29,440
yesterday's sleep. I actually didn't know that I was supposed to be wearing it when I sleep. I'm sorry. Now, I know

180
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:34,000
you're wondering, so let's uh let's check out live translate. One of our new

181
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:36,240
writers here, Sean Frey. So, you lived in Germany for how long?

182
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:40,320
>> For seven years. >> And your German is >> not good. [laughter]

183
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,480
>> Okay. So, it's going to show on the phone and I can see the words popping up

184
00:12:42,399 --> 00:12:47,519
on my display just in case I wanted to know what I was saying in German. But

185
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,839
you go now. >> Hello, Riley.

186
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:58,079
Deutseland. >> Riley, my German is still poor. very

187
00:12:55,600 --> 00:13:01,519
much like that in Germany. Please, please, please. I have to go to the

188
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,480
bathroom right now. Is there anywhere close? I'm going to burst out of my

189
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:10,480
pants here. >> Okay, come. >> Okay, come to the bathrooms. That's a

190
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,920
bit [laughter] But regardless, >> my German is broken.

191
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:16,320
>> You know what, Sean? Your German may be broken, but that feature certainly

192
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,720
isn't. >> Oh, it's so embarrassing. >> Let's go to Germany. Okay.

193
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:27,120
>> Oh, god. >> Teleprompt is the other one that I remember being very impressed by. And

194
00:13:24,639 --> 00:13:31,519
this one actually is kind of even more promising because it's [music] a bigger

195
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:35,360
display. And before I had to because the display was smaller and it was a little

196
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:39,120
higher up, I had to kind of like angle my head. So I was looking at the camera

197
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:42,720
like that. But now it can go right in front of [music] where I'm looking here.

198
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:46,639
So like I am looking at the camera as if I'm hosting a techn uh [music] video.

199
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:52,480
And it's worth noting that in the settings you can set it to scroll manual

200
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:57,120
that you can control either with the touchpad on the on the ring to scroll up

201
00:13:54,880 --> 00:14:01,839
and down or you can also connect a external remote control. Then there's

202
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:04,560
this AI mode which autoscrolls as it

203
00:14:01,839 --> 00:14:08,480
hears you say the script as you go. So I'm going to use that one. I'm going to

204
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:12,480
start. I'm in AI mode but I can still scroll with the ring. This video is

205
00:14:10,399 --> 00:14:17,040
about inviting 50 strangers to try and stay inside a giant jello cube. the

206
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:20,560
longest and the winner gets $100. You thought it was about tech news, but I

207
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:24,079
tricked you, but really it is about tech news and I've just tricked you again.

208
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:28,639
This I mean I got to say this is very useful and as someone who reads off a

209
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:34,240
teleprompter almost every day except in these videos which is why they're so

210
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:38,480
unhinged. So the navigate feature is here once more and it's primarily

211
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:42,480
focused on walking and cycling directions. [music] Not going to lie, I

212
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:46,399
did try to use it for driving. not super useful cuz it kept telling me to take a

213
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,560
bike path. Apparently cyclists don't like that. One thing to know about the

214
00:14:48,079 --> 00:14:54,639
navigate feature though is that [music] in some areas it might be more useful

215
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:59,199
than in others because even realities works with a navigation provider who

216
00:14:56,399 --> 00:15:04,079
heavily relies on open street map data. It doesn't have the depth of information

217
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:07,839
and depth of uh you know routes that Google maps will have. Apparently people

218
00:15:05,839 --> 00:15:11,760
in other locations have had uh better experiences with it. So, [music]

219
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:15,440
your mileage may vary with Navigate, but if you are in a location where it does

220
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:19,040
work well, it's a pretty nice experience being able to have a map up there with

221
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:22,079
directions as you're walking. You can kind of just like [music] follow it and

222
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:25,839
it's just kind of there if you want it. And lastly, there's the quick list here

223
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,519
where you can make a note. [music] I don't need to make notes most of the

224
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:34,480
time, but I did need to remind myself to shoot this video, so I did ask even to

225
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:37,760
make that note and it did. And here we are. So, that's kind of an overview of

226
00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:43,279
the features, but I cannot reiterate enough how wearing these does not feel

227
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:47,519
like wearing smart glasses. [music] I've done a few of them on this channel, and

228
00:15:45,519 --> 00:15:51,920
by far, especially having done the G1 and now the G2, like [music] I can wear

229
00:15:49,839 --> 00:15:55,440
these at my desk. I can wear these moving around the office and doing

230
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:59,040
stuff, being able to see notifications pop up. I don't I forget that I'm

231
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:04,320
wearing the smart glasses. And that's partially due to the nextG lenses that

232
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:08,800
they've got in here. They're 30% thinner than the ones in the G1 while not losing

233
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:15,360
anything clarity-wise [music] because they used over 100 layers in

234
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:18,720
here somehow. How is that? Did you see that? And you may have noticed that I

235
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:21,920
just swapped from my regular glasses to these because they're my prescription.

236
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:25,279
So, you can send them your [music] prescription and they'll send you your

237
00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:31,680
glasses with the lenses in them like they're normal glasses. They cover prescriptions from plus 12 to negative

238
00:16:28,399 --> 00:16:33,600
-12 and they have digital surfacing

239
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:38,880
available for people with a stigmatism or myopia and they use for the digital

240
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:42,560
serving they use a diamond tipped lathe. Even reality says that you can expect

241
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,920
these to last for 2 days but they've lasted longer for me because I haven't

242
00:16:44,079 --> 00:16:49,120
worn them for the entire workday because one thing that I haven't noted that you

243
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:53,440
should be aware of is because of these dongles on the back overear headphones

244
00:16:51,279 --> 00:16:58,800
may not fit all the way around. I like to wear noise cancelling headphones so I

245
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:00,560
can focus and also so people know not to

246
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:07,360
approach me. But if you're wearing them all day and you're using them constantly, uh 2 days of battery life,

247
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:12,640
the case uh holds a maximum of seven full glasses charges in it. And the ring

248
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:15,839
has a 4day battery life and I have not run into any problems with every time

249
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:21,039
I've picked them up. You know, maybe they weren't at 100% but I've never had to be like, "Ah, I got to charge them."

250
00:17:18,841 --> 00:17:24,880
[music] So pretty good. And I didn't even know this, but apparently they have

251
00:17:22,559 --> 00:17:28,319
an IP65 rating now. And I went out in the rain and it was splashing on me and

252
00:17:26,799 --> 00:17:34,559
I was a little worried, but I guess I shouldn't have been. Now, as I said, the Even Reality's G2 is entering into a

253
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:38,559
world now in which smart glasses are kind of becoming more of a thing. There

254
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:42,160
are these options out there that will become more available with [music] like

255
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:46,080
full color displays and stuff. And these are like you're asking yourself, you

256
00:17:43,679 --> 00:17:50,480
know, I want to I want to exist in the metaverse. I think Mark Zuckerberg and

257
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,679
those guys have it right. But the thing that remains interesting

258
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:58,320
to me about these is A, they look like real glasses. B, they aren't trying to

259
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:02,000
take up your entire attention. They're trying to give you some useful

260
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:05,039
information and kind of back out like an actual assistant would. If you have a

261
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,640
personal assistant, you don't want like to only talk to them all the time. You

262
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:13,440
want to talk to everybody that you normally talk to in your life and have your assistant be like, "Message just

263
00:18:11,120 --> 00:18:17,679
came in." They'll be like, "Thank you. Now go

264
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:22,080
away." So whether that's interesting to you uh will be up to you to decide. And

265
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,160
it'll also be up to you to decide whether these are worth the $600 price

266
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:32,960
point. If you want the prescription lens, it's $160, uh extra for that. And

267
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:35,477
the ring goes for $250. So altogether,

268
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:39,280
you know, it's not a small investment. [music]

269
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:42,000
Uh but for people who have a lot going

270
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:45,520
on, they need to [music] get information delivered to them that's not too

271
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:49,919
distracting. I can see the argument for it, especially if you're looking to not

272
00:18:47,919 --> 00:18:53,200
draw tons of attention to the glasses that you're wearing, except in a good

273
00:18:51,679 --> 00:18:57,679
way. But at the end of the day, I can't tell you what to do except to tell you

274
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:01,039
to subscribe to ShortCircuit. Thanks again to Even Realities for sending

275
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,799
these over for us to take a look at. And if you're looking for another video to

276
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:10,320
watch, uh, I guess watch maybe the previous one, the G1 or the any other

277
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:13,679
video you pick. The world's your oyster.
