The Glasses Lab

Software you wear.

I design and build apps for Even Realities G2 smart glasses: a 576×288 monochrome green display floating in your field of view. Everything here runs on my personal pair today.

As heard on CBC Radio: “No Code, Just Vibes” gave Singalong and Coffee Finder a national shout-out.

Shot through the lens. A different app (live headlines), but this is what the display actually looks like.

That's me in Snap's Spectacles at my meetup, Vancouver Vibe Coders. I try every display wearable I can get my hands on, and I build on the Even G2 because it's the pair that disappears into everyday life.

Live demos

Even Realities G2 · 576×288 monochrome display

Designed to disappear.

I wear the G2 out in the world: walking the dog, running errands, meeting people. Nothing about it announces itself, which is exactly what makes designing for it interesting: the software has to be as quiet as the hardware. A glance of information when you want it, an empty lens when you don't.
