As Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses continue to turn your face into a computer, with a camera and speaker, Even Realities is doubling down on a design that eschews those components. Instead, it’s focusing on extending your smartphone through the display of its smart glasses while figuring out new mechanisms for controlling the experience.

Today, the company announced the Even G2 smart glasses, alongside the Even R1, its first-ever smart ring that controls the display of the G2.

The Even G2 glasses don’t look wholly different from the original G1 that debuted last summer, which is a good thing, because these are still among the sharpest-looking smart glasses on the market. At a closed-doors briefing a few weeks ago, Even Realities CEO Will Wang said the company didn’t advertise its first product much, as it wanted to test it in the market and receive valuable feedback, while also working on expanding its retail presence. Today, you can find the G1 in 350 luxury eyewear shops around the world.

The new Even G2 glasses cost $599, and the Even R1 is $249. Both are on sale today. There’s an introductory promotion where anyone who buys the G2 can get the R1 and other G2 accessories for 50 percent off.

With no camera or speaker, these glasses are all about the display, which is 75 percent larger on the G2. The company calls it Even HAO 2.0, which stands for Holistic Adaptive Optics. It combines mini micro-LED projectors, gradient wavelengths, and hi-def lenses for a dual-display picture that is sharper, brighter, and more stable during movement. The G2 also accommodates a wider range of lens prescriptions (from -12 to +12 diopters) to make them more accessible.
