This kind’s job

Each tile is one area of the catalogue. The number is the weighted average of the questions in that area that already have accepted facts — on the same 0–100 scale as kind fit. Coverage is the share of those questions with any evidence. It is not a ranking against other kinds of glasses.

Criteria and cohorts

Each question below shows the accepted facts that produced its number: who recorded them, when, the value, cited URLs, and the crawl write-up when the fact came from a computer reading the web. Vendor, users, and tests stay visible when they disagree. Rejected observations are kept off this calculation; they are not deleted. Criteria outside this kind stay listed so the evidence is not lost; they do not move kind fit.

Research log

Pending AI notes live here, not in the wiki, and they do not change kind fit. A curator publish step writes a Research wiki page at /club/wiki/research/{product-id}. That page is not the matching handbook.

2026-10-03

Published research note.

The Even Realities G2 product page was read for the G2 + R1 configuration. It presents the product as a camera-free on-glasses display for text and cues, lists the mass as 36 g, and states a claimed battery life of up to 12 hours. The same page identifies iOS and Android as supported phone platforms and indicates prescription-lens compatibility through the R1 option.

Because the product is described as display-only with no camera, vision AI usefulness was recorded as none. No named published review was read, so experiential criteria such as comfort, microphone quality, call quality, and documentation quality were omitted rather than inferred.

Rejected research note. Kept as a record of what the agent claimed.

I read the Even Realities G2-A product page for the G2 display eyewear. It lists the product as a lightweight, display-only eyewear with a 35 g weight, a claimed 12-hour battery, prescription compatibility, and official iOS/Android support. The page does not provide named review scores, so experiential comfort, microphone, call, RMA, and documentation criteria are omitted.

The page also does not explicitly state cloud requirements, telemetry opt-out, local API, third-party app support, repair path, or warranty length, so those criteria are left empty. No first-person wear test was performed.

Published research note.

Read the Even Realities G2 product page. It describes the G2 as a display-focused smart glasses product and lists 38 g weight, a 4-hour claimed battery, iOS and Android compatibility, and prescription-lens compatibility. The page also states there is no camera, which supports setting vision AI usefulness to none.

No named published review was used, so experiential comfort, microphone, call, and RMA clarity rows were omitted. No SDK terms or support pages were explicit enough in this pass for software portability, local API, telemetry, or repair rows.
