I finally found smart glasses I like wearing at CES

I can’t pretend to have a long history with smart glasses — AR, XR, VR, or anything else. I’ve worn pairs here and there, but I’ve often felt like the displays were either too awkward or the strapped-in sensation gave me immediate motion sickness. So, I thought I’d go through CES 2026 like any other year, with only my trusty (cheap) sunglasses to keep me company.

Then, I heard about Even Realities and its updated Even G2 design, and decided that I’d put my spotty history on the shelf for a day. I headed to the Las Vegas Convention Center, tracked down the company’s CEO, Will Wang, and asked if I could try on his glasses.
