Build web apps for smart glasses

Even Realities G2 allows web developers to build smart glasses apps using standard web technologies and the Even Hub SDK. The platform supports plugins, widgets, and AI integrations, offering a streamlined workflow from development to distribution.

The Even Realities G2 are smart glasses with dual micro-LED displays (one per lens), a four-microphone array, touchpads on the temples, and optional R1 ring for additional input. They pair with your phone via Bluetooth 5.2.

Key Hardware Specs

| Spec | Value | |---|---| | Display | 576 x 288 pixels per eye | | Color depth | 4-bit greyscale (16 shades of green) | | Connectivity | Bluetooth 5.2 | | Audio input | 4-mic array (single audio stream, 16kHz PCM) | | G2 touchpads | Press, double press, swipe up, swipe down | | R1 touchpads | Press, double press, swipe up, swipe down (optional accessory) | | Camera / Speaker | None |

The glasses are privacy-focused by design – no camera, no speaker. App logic runs on the phone; the glasses handle display rendering and native scroll processing.

What You Can Build

The Even Hub platform currently supports plugins – background-layer apps that run alongside the core glasses experience. The platform is actively expanding to include:

Dashboard widgets: Glanceable cards on the glasses home screen.
Dashboard layouts: Custom arrangements of widgets and information.
AI skills and integrations: Intelligent features that extend the glasses' capabilities.

Plugins are web apps built with standard web technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript/TypeScript) and the Even Hub SDK. You develop with any framework you prefer – Vite, React, vanilla JS – and the SDK provides the bridge between your web code and the glasses hardware.

Development Workflow

Write code: Standard web app (Vite + SDK).
Preview locally: evenhub-simulator http://localhost:5173.
Test on device: Sideload via QR, or upload a private build to the dev portal.
Package: evenhub pack app.json dist -o myapp.ehpk.
Submit: Upload .ehpk to Even Hub for distribution.
