A big promlem with Even G2

I find Even Reality G2 to be a very interesting and futuristic product, but there is an obvious and blatant flaw with them - there is no text stabilization. You cannot just walk with them and comrortably read text. It is borderline useless for reading while walking because the text jerks as your head moves.

Honestly, the above issue is my own complaint. Some people might dismiss it and say something like, "I am a human-chicken hybrid, so I am fine. It is your problem," or something like, "I walk like a robot while wearing them. You should too." Those are opinions . The actual BIG PROBLEM IS ADVERTISING.

On the official website, they are showing a false first-person perspective of using the product. The footage in their promotional videos is stabilized and shows the text as being stable and almost not jitter which is simply not the case. The human head is not a three-axis stabilized camera, and you will not have the experience wearing the glasses that the company tries to push on their landing page.

I live in the EU and think of making an official complaint against the company due to false advertising on their webpage. Honestly, I would much rather like for them to just add some basic gyro stabilization for text - in an ideal world, that would happen, but in our world, they should at least correct the webpage to portray the product in a correct way (I am talking about basic smoothing, not fixed text).

Edit: do not act as an LLM and skip the middle of the context. The problem is false advertising and depiction of the product. You can skip useless takes that sound like 'uuggh, you are using them wrong' - that is just embarrassing.

Honest G2 + R1 review after ~10 days: great teleprompter idea, but returning mine

What's working:
The teleprompter use case is genuinely good. If you have a presentation and need your notes right in front of your eyes, it does that job well. That's the standout for me.

What's not:
- It needs to go a long way before it feels like a finished product.
- The responsiveness between the R1 and G2 can be better - there's lag, and it takes too much fiddling to get everything working smoothly.

The major issue for me:
The way it shows the text at certain angles. The display ends up showing the exact words of what's on screen, visible from the outside at some angles (photo attached - but it’s more clear the test in person).That kills the whole point of discreet smart glasses for me.

Verdict: I'm returning both the G2 and R1. The concept is right, especially for presentations, but between the display issue and the R1 fiddling, it's not there yet. I'll be watching- if they fix these, I'd reconsider. Too early right now.

Even Realities app used 89% of my iPhone’s battery consumption in ONE day (G2 + R1). Anyone else?

I’ve been using the Even G2 and R1 for about a day, and I was surprised by how much battery the Even Realities app used on my iPhone.

what iOS battery usage showed

- Total battery usage: 171%
- Even Realities app: 89%
- Background activity: 5 hours
- Screen active: 4 hours 35 minutes

I’ve mostly been using Conversate, not constantly switching between features. The weird part is that the G2 glasses and R1 ring seem to have normal battery life. My R1 is also in Low Power Mode. It’s my iPhone that’s taking the biggest hit.

I get that Conversate needs audio processing, Bluetooth and some background activity, but holy shucks that this app drinks up my battery.

Has anyone else noticed similar battery drain on iOS?

Connecting to ChatGPT Dot

New G2B owner here. I haven't messed with Terminal mode or Ocuclaw yet, but I'm curious if there is a way to access my ChatGPT Dot. I haven't been able to find anything on this so far.

I'm just getting the hang of tinkering with these things, and they're awesome!
