Even Realities Teases G2: The “Anti-Meta” Smart Glasses Without Cameras?

If you’re uncomfortable with cameras on smart glasses, some good news might be on the horizon. Even Realities, the company behind the privacy-focused G1, is teasing the new Even Realities G2. These smart glasses are set to launch on November 12 and look to continue the brand’s privacy-first philosophy.

What We Know About the Even Realities G2

The company’s official teaser, posted on X (formerly Twitter), doesn’t give away much. However, it does confirm the Even Realities G2 will follow the same core ideas as its predecessor.

As seen in the teaser, the G2 smart glasses will feature a monochrome screen. This display is used for notifications, calendar alerts, and information from the “Even AI” voice assistant. This is a deliberate choice, contrasting sharply with the full-color displays seen on competitors like the Oakley Meta glasses.

đź”’Privacy First

The main appeal is the lack of cameras. This design avoids the privacy concerns of recording people in public without their consent.

đź‘“Lightweight Design

By omitting bulky cameras and speakers, the G1 (and likely the G2) feel more like regular glasses, not a heavy piece of tech.

A simple, non-intrusive display for notifications and AI responses, rather than a full-color, immersive screen.

The “Anti-Meta” Philosophy

While competitors like Meta and Samsung are in an arms race to add more features, Even Realities’ entire appeal is that its glasses *don’t* have them. Adding cameras would not only create privacy implications but would also compromise the lightweight feel that sets them apart.

Furthermore, the company does tease that “a new extraordinary power is almost ready to be unleashed.” While this could mean they are caving to market pressure, it seems unlikely. A camera-less, privacy-first option provides much-needed diversity in a market dominated by Meta’s approach. This is a welcome change for the rise of virtual reality and smart glasses.

The Big Question: What is this “new extraordinary power”? With cameras off the table, speculation points to a more advanced AI assistant, new sensor technology, or perhaps a revolutionary new display. For that, we’ll have to wait until the official launch on November 12 to find out what the Even Realities G2 truly offers.
