Editorial summaries
Even G1
The Even Realities G1 is minimalist display HUD smart glasses (44g, magnesium/titanium, looking like ordinary eyeglasses) with a monochrome green waveguide display and, deliberately, no camera, speakers, or audio. It does turn-by-turn navigation, teleprompter, real-time translation, notifications, and transcription well; its 'Even AI' is a thin cloud Q&A wrapper (Perplexity/ChatGPT), placing it at the veneer end of the AI-substance spectrum: the glasses are a good display device, the 'AI' is a light add-on. Pricing is $599 base, plus $150 for prescription lenses and $100 for a sun clip; about 1.5-day battery.
Vuzix Z100
The Vuzix Z100 is an enterprise-focused monochrome-waveguide HUD smart-glasses device (38g, up to 48-hour battery), generally available since November 2024 at $499, aimed at warehouse, logistics, and field-service use with some consumer features (notifications, navigation, teleprompter) via the Vuzix Connect app. It has no native AI; any AI comes through partner integrations, placing it at the partner-mediated end of the AI-substance spectrum. Vuzix has been shrinking and pivoting toward OEM waveguide components; the Z100 is its current HUD product (the older Blade line is discontinued).
