Smart Glasses: The All-Day Dilemma of Wearable AI
A Verge reviewer tests a wide range of smart glasses (from Even Realities G2 to Meta Ray-Ban Display and Oakley Vanguard) and finds they mostly look and feel alike, with AI features that are often impractical, battery-draining, and privacy-invasive. Prescription support is inconsistent, repairs are hard, and there’s no compelling all-day use case yet beyond niche roles like travel or training. While some models are stylish and offer useful functions, the overall promise of wearable AI on the face remains unproven, though future iterations with better prescription handling and lighter design may change that.
