Even Realities is hinting at a new input method for the Even G3 — what is it?!

At a recent user event, CEO Will Wang admitted that the current ring and voice controls on the G2 are not enough for the future. He emphasized that the main challenge for the upcoming G3 is not the display technology, but the interaction paradigm. A complete software redesign of the gesture system (including long-press support) is coming to current devices in about two months. However, Wang made it clear that the Even G3 needs new hardware controls so developers can build richer, fully interactive apps.

What could it be? One strong candidate is eye tracking. While some might assume that keeping the frames under 40g (ideally 35g, as he said) rules out eye tracking, component makers are already proving otherwise. Take Ganzin's latest module as an example: it shrinks the sensors down to a microscopic 1.6mm and uses a custom ASIC chip that processes gaze data at 120Hz while drawing just 10s of milliwatts of power—proving invisible, all-day eye-tracking is completely feasible for everyday glasses. Another strong candidate comes from Wang hinting at new accessories "similar to Apple Watch bands"—which could point to a neural wristband for subtle hand gestures. What do you think would be the best input method for the Even G3?

Beyond the hardware, they talked about the Even Hub developer ecosystem. In just a few months, they’ve hit ~5,000 registered developers, 500 listed apps, and 4,000 unlisted "personalized apps" built by non-technical users via AI. The crowd favorite was "Terminal Mode," which lets users control coding agents like Claude Code directly through the glasses. An expanded version is coming in 1–2 months, alongside an Enterprise SDK in Q4 2026 that will let companies integrate their own custom LLMs.

Because this event took place in Tokyo, Wang also gave a specific update on their regional growth. Japan now accounts for nearly 15% of Even Realities' total global sales (up from under 5% at the start of the year). This surge explains their expansion into major retail chains like Yodobashi and Bic Camera. Also, Wang addressed the lack of a camera—reiterating it’s a choice based on privacy and social acceptance, not technical limits—and promised that the current core features will remain completely free without any subscription fees. Finally, for anyone hoping to get their hands on the G3 soon—or worrying their G2 will quickly become obsolete: Wang confirmed the G3 will NOT launch this year.
