Display-only glasses
Even Realities G1
Everyday-looking glasses with a monochrome green micro-LED heads-up display and no listed camera. Included because it looks like ordinary eyewear and because the manufacturer has a Bluetooth SIG company identifier.
What the manufacturer says
Each row is labelled. Known fact means we read it on the linked page; inference means we concluded it from sourced facts; unknown means we could not source it.
| Property | Value | Basis | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Camera | No | Inference | The manufacturer's G1 specification lists display, microphones and BLE but no camera, and the manufacturer's own buyer's guide states that its successor, Even G2, has no camera. We treat 'no camera' as a well-supported inference rather than a quoted fact for G1. Source |
| Microphone | Yes | Known fact | The manufacturer lists two microphones. Source |
| Capture light | Not applicable | Inference | No camera is listed, so a camera indicator does not apply. The glasses do have microphones; we found no manufacturer statement about an indicator for microphone use. Source |
| Bluetooth | Yes | Known fact | The manufacturer lists BLE 5.2. What the glasses advertise, and when, is not stated and has not been observed by us. Source |
Registered Bluetooth identifiers we are researching
These identifiers are registered with the Bluetooth SIG by the companies named. Registration establishes ownership of the identifier, not which products broadcast it or when. We list them because they are the starting point for testing, not because they prove anything about detectability.
| Identifier | Kind | Registered to | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
0x10F9 | Company identifier | Even Realities Ltd. (SIG) | Company-level identifier; whether the glasses advertise it is unverified. |
Test record
- Testing status
- Not yet independently tested
- Hardware tested
- None yet
- iOS versions tested
- None yet
- Evidence on file
- None yet — nothing has been observed by us
When testing is complete, this section will list every export file, the scenario it covers (in case, pairing mode, paired to another phone, recording, and so on), the iOS version and the phone model. The protocol is described on the testing results page.
Limitations
- Not yet tested by us.
- Because the G1 has no listed camera, a detection of this device (if it ever becomes possible) would not indicate any recording capability.
- Only a company identifier is registered; on its own that could never exceed a LOW confidence level in our scoring model.
Recognising it by eye
Visual cues are general observations to help people who are not relying on any app. They are not detection features.
- Designed to look like conventional eyewear; the display is only visible to the wearer.
- No camera lens on the frame front.
What a detection means — and does not mean
A detection means
- Your iPhone received a Bluetooth Low Energy advertisement whose contents matched one or more entries in our signature catalogue.
- Each piece of evidence (a company identifier, a service UUID, a name pattern) is shown with its source, so you can judge it yourself.
- The confidence level reflects how many independent kinds of evidence agreed, not how sure we are that a camera is in use.
A detection does not mean
- That anyone is recording. Bluetooth advertisements carry no information about camera or microphone activity.
- That the matched device is definitely smart glasses. Manufacturers reuse identifiers across products; see false positives.
- That the device is a particular distance away. Signal strength is a coarse proximity hint; see RSSI and distance.
