"This is the best purchase of mine in the last five years",
says Jason Mayes after wearing Even G1 every day for a month.
As a public speaker, he was primarily interested in putting the Teleprompt feature to good use. he's also someone who appreciates high-end glasses, thoughtful design, and emerging tech—meaning he wanted to experience everything our product has to offer. From packaging to frame and features, he provides perhaps the most thorough analysis of Even G1 to date.
Check out Jason's 1-month review.
Can you elaborate on why Even G1 has been such a great buy for you?
This is the first pair of AR glasses that look normal and provide useful features that I actually want to use on a daily basis. People don't realize these are smart glasses; colleagues asked me what they are because they love the design.
The Teleprompt feature was one of the main reasons I bought these glasses because I give a lot of presentations. It works better than I expected as it uses AI to automatically advance the speaker notes; even if I miss a word or two it figures out where I am in the script.
For a first generation product to get so much right is really incredible. Hats off to the team, both the engineers and designers who created it. It's not often a product impresses me and exceeds my expectations these days, but this actually does.
First impressions matter. How was your unboxing experience?
Great! You can tell the designers have been heard here.
This beautiful box has a slight texture to it and feels premium.
When you take off the top, all the sides fall apart, revealing very stylish glasses in a sleek case that protects and charges them.
When you pick the glasses up for the first time, you can't help but notice the nice, soft touch they have thanks to the material used. The form factor immediately strikes you as the design and build of these are the best I've ever seen in a pair of smart glasses.
How has Even G1 changed your speaking experience?
The clarity and comfort Even G1 provides have been a game-changer. Now, I can see everyone in the audience clearly, which allows me to make genuine eye contact and deliver presentations while actually looking at the audience instead of the screen that is often but the presenter's feet on the floor. It's honestly transformed the way I can interact with audiences.
Speaking of, our Teleprompt feature includes easy-to-follow scripts only you can see.
Beyond presentations, what other aspects of Even G1 have impressed you?
Navigate is a killer feature. I can be out and around the city riding my bike without having to look down at my phone. This is so useful, and makes my life safer, too. In addition, I can choose to see some or all notifications by customizing which apps allow notifications to propagate through the glasses, which is perfect.
What features would you like to see in future updates for Even G1?
Please, please, please allow developers to write web apps that can control the glasses via Bluetooth low energy, so we can provide custom tasks to enhance future capabilities of the glasses faster than you can do alone.
