Samsung, Apple let alone Meta will never open source glasses because they're way too freaked out by BS privacy concerns.

I actually love the fallout green and pixelated/stylised text, even if it is a limitation due to hardware it works so so well. And they carried over the style to the app, noice.

[@gssngr]

Google Glass was probably the most excited I’ve ever been for a tech product, even though it ended up being a huge letdown. THIS is the content I want to see!

[@danielv943]

I was already so excited as you were showing the features and then you showed that they're becoming open source and my mind went from "I have to buy these in a few years" to "I have to buy these ASAP"

[@rickeywilliams6223]

I HAVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS since I was a kid in the 90’s with this vision (see what I did?) I’m geeking out to this whole video because I knooow this is the definitive set we needed for these glasses to Actually start. When this version gets better we will see actual progress just wow wow wow bravo

[@LucasMp]

My dad is hard of hearing, and irl subtitles actually sounds like an amazing tool

[@zombos22222]

but the other person needs to speak calm and slow because the subtitles/translate is also slowly and at first the glasses are uncomfy to wear, better go to a glasses expert for adjustment at first, otherwise its tight and uncomfy at first

[@CommandLineVulpine]

10 years since google glass and it's finally starting to seem viable

[@efnick96]

Oh wow. The live translate feature can be so good for traveling around.

[@doubting_truth]

Thanks for the review, I consider buying them anyway because I think I could implement something cool with them. Would you mind to provide answers for these questions please? 1. Is it possible to set up different language for quick notes than English? 2. How long does the battery lasts? 3. Do they get warm (I had such case with XReal AR glasses)? 4.Do temples make pressure when you just wear the glasses?

[@zombos22222]

1: there are different languages 2: After 1Hour usage it consumes 4% battery, official it says 1,5 days battery, for me personally at work it works for 2 fully days 3: surprisingly dont feel any warmth by this ones and i tested rokid max,inmo air,inmo go glasses before whcih go warm, especially rokid max 4: the nosepad leave red marks on the nose and the frame is very tight at first, better go to your professional glass expert for adjusting the g1, this helps me alot its now more comfy to wear

[@doubting_truth]

@@zombos22222 thanks a lot for sharing your experience!

[@nikolajf]

@@zombos22222excellent to hear from someone who actually uses them - and not only the professional reviewers

[@DaBigCheese75]

Finally!!! I've been waiting for these to reach bigger tech channels. I pre-ordered them and have been wearing them for awhile now. They're awesome and need more attention!!!

[@Hoytehablode]

what about battery life? not mention of that anywhere?

[@waitokyeah7564]

Battery life is great. You can easily get about 1.5 days out of it, but I've never noticed mine die as at night I just put them back in the case.

[@tristanbenoit5094]

I'd like to know too!

[@lynes2peters438]

​@@waitokyeah7564so as an actual user of them, what would you say are their biggest feature and flaw in your perspective?

[@FinnShamrock]

@@waitokyeah7564 same here

[@fredfarrell]

Bizarre that an entire video didn't mention it

[@peigeot9906]

Looks like an interesting product and I'd be very interested to hear Riley's thoughts on the glasses after a month or two of use

[@brodriguez11000]

Durability should be a big one. Glasses have a rough life.

[@nikolajf]

Knowing that some of the people involved come from Lindberg makes me quite confident about the build quality. There are a couple of commenters here who seem to have them as their daily drivers.

[@orricdrago7299]

the overlay you guys did was cool

[@gdelignieres]

Wonder if this was provided by the glass company

[@DonSanders]

Great job animating the reverse image. This is the first time an AR video review has displayed the product in a way that let me see what the glasses are doing. Kudos

[@DiscoCallum]

I have Raybans Meta as my sunglasses, and I think the camera is just one feature I'd miss too much. It's way too convenient having a "you see what I see" POV when taking photos, and has allowed me to quickly grab snaps of some cherished moments. With that said, these look amazing, and the move to open source the code is making me want to purchase this product as my spare pair just to contribute to it's success.

[@zombos22222]

it feels uncomfy to have a camera pointed from the other person all the time while speaking, so the g1 is more natural and 1,5 days battery vs 4hours raybans battery is a huge plus for fullday usage.

[@AmoniaLS]

Riley taking off glasses can pull off a Superman transformation

[@Willprintforfood]

2:46 where did riley go?!?!

[@antonip1114]

This product, to me, is more impresing than my own quest 3. I need it.

[@SassInYourClass]

I’m aligned with the top comments. Regular people don’t want social media out of their AR glasses. They want functionality that allows them to get *away* from screens. It’s what I love about my Apple Watch: I *can’t* doomscroll on it. Very well done, and making the software open source is an incredible bonus. I hope they find some marketing dollars.

[@willfullyinformed]

@13:45 So looking away from the window/road and looking down at your GPS to know where you're going while driving is safer than keeping your eyes on the road, looking at transparent glass, and glancing within 1mm distance to see where you're going. Got it. Sound Google logic where my passenger can't type in a new address or correct an address with Android Auto while I'm driving, so now we have to very quickly figure out what we are doing, unplug the phone from the vehicle and type it into the phone GPS regardless. Thus making the entire experience 10x less safe than the original method. I think these companies need to stay out of peoples privacy/safety methods.

[@tarbender1979]

Due to my profession, English is the second language to over 70 percent of my customer base. I have customers from all over Northern Africa, India, Eastern Europe, from all over this beautiful blue marble. So now it makes me wonder why I took Latin as my "Foreign Language Class" in high school. Although it is a beautiful and instrumental language, the foundation for so many modern western languages, it is now a dead language used by priests, lawyers, and doctors. These glasses. The translation ability alone, if works as advertised, would be a game changer in my life. Not only would this expediate transactions but I can only imagine the look on one of my unsuspecting clients faces when I can understand them in their first language. I'd pay for the prescription lenses if I could only get corporate to cover the rest! I'll just add it to my ever-growing list of wanted supplies!

[@blessedbow720]

that price was way better then i expected especially given this is technically still the early days for it i can't imagine the battery life is that good though but thats just the state of batteries in general honestly

[@theking-wv7dp]

Allegedly they last 1.5 day out of the case, and recharge in it (according to Google search and YT comments).

[@FinnShamrock]

I just got a pair of these recently and the battery life easily lasts all day with no problems. I think by the end of the day I am typically at around 60%, and that is after wearing them from 7 am to nearly 10 pm

[@stefen0074]

@@FinnShamrock how often is the display on? does it only show up when you get a notification or use one of the features?

[@theking-wv7dp]

@@FinnShamrock Since you got the glasses, would you be aware of any blue light filter on the lenses? This is a must-have feature for me to use these daily.

[@FinnShamrock]

@@stefen0074 so it is only on when you choose for it to be on basically. typically it only turns on when you look up at whatever angle you have chosen, but you can also change a setting to have it turn on whenever you receive a notification, and it will show the notification on the screen. Otherwise, yes, you have to interact with the glasses to have the screen turn on!

[@esmannr]

Riley should do all the testing. He's very good at the product descriptions and how it is to use them.

[@EmiAKAMilo]

Open source is actually so genuinly insane and cool!!!

[@gabrielrocha7547]

when he said open sourced at the end, made me think that it has a great potential to grow now, it just need a bigger community, and the perks looks useful

[@MindstabThrull]

Those glasses actually look pretty decent on Riley. Not surprised he uses them somewhat regularly.

[@nocloo6829]

The price is surprising to me. Many upscale glasses are in that range. Very interesting product and also a very well made video. Succinct script and the tempo is just right. Anyway, the glasses are really cool.

[@EmeraldHill-vo1cs]

My glasses arent 'upscale', theyre multivision, cos my eyes are going; and they cost $600 without frills.

[@TarukaiSamurai]

I might legit buy one of these, the notes feature seem extremely helpful, especially being great with someone like me with ADHD who misses stuff from conversations all the time.

[@hhidd]

started the vid pessimistic, ended the video converted. really cool product. won me over on the open sourcing. can't wait to see what they're gonna do in the future!

[@WhiteRaven___]

Square frames for sure is what i would go with... these are almost perfect for what I would want when walking or cycling... the HUD is minimal yet super effective... paired with earbuds and Google or siri these honestly would be great. Deserves more attention.

[@debemdeboas]

these seem incredible. we need more of this tech

[@YonatanAvhar]

12:02 that's what Zack Freedman has been doing for years with his Optogon, super cool that it's in a form factor that can be worn in public without attracting wierd looks. (To be clear I think the Optogon is super cool, but average non-nerds will probbaly disagree with me)

[@7bitscience]

I was also thinking that. I wonder what he thinks of these glasses?

[@davidskidmore3442]

The Optigon has different features. It's a monocle, display is full color but requires a wired connection to a large belt-mounted computation unit, with large batteries, that runs things for an hour or two at a time. The computer runs fairly modern Android, with decent support for apps. The G1 has a binocular, monochrome green display of moderate resolution, that depends on a Bluetooth connection to your phone for communication and compute, and is limited in feature set, for all that the features it DOES have all seem to be ideal, and actually functional. In exchange, it runs all day and then some on the on-board batteries. If you want to be cool at a tech convention, Optigon. If you want something you can wear anywhere with low likelyhood of catching flack for your headwear, the G1 is among the best options available right now.

[@NoozTek]

I have glasses with a s24 ultra straped to it. Now that I think about it it's pretty cool for cheating in tests

[@akeluify]

Even Realities just went open source for the G1. They have a quite active discord community of people putting together apps for these glasses. The future is bright for Even Realities!

[@nate_0723]

These are actually the first smart glasses that I could see myself using. The navigation is absolutely something I would use. I hate pulling out my phone every 2 minutes for walking directions.

[@solreaver83]

These make the technology exciting again. Maybe not mainstream ready this gen but in 5 or 10 years this will be pretty standard I suspect
