AI glasses are increasingly marketed as a meeting tool: silent notes, live translation, reminders in view. Before bringing a pair into your next conversation, it's worth an honest look at two things — what the device can technically do, and what applies at your workplace.
The question that matters first: camera or no camera
The biggest difference between AI glasses isn't the brand — it's the sensor design. Camera glasses can record video and take photos, which is often not obvious to other people in the meeting. Switzerland's Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC) explicitly notes that smart glasses can pose a significant risk to the personal rights of uninvolved people, because they blend into daily life and bystanders can't reliably tell whether they are being recorded.
Camera-free display glasses like the Even G2 reduce the risk tied to image and video recording, simply because they have no camera.
That doesn't automatically resolve every concern: voice features such as translation still involve audio processing, and companies may have their own device rules for meetings that apply regardless of camera type.

What's technically possible today
In a meeting, three Even G2 features come together, all without a camera: real-time translation for conversations across languages, a teleprompter for structured remarks and presentations, and discreet notifications that appear in your field of view. These are the same features already described on our product-specific pages and demonstrated at the Zürich showroom — here we summarise them in the meeting context rather than reinventing them.
Workplace rules: what to plan for
The use of electronic devices at work can be governed by internal company policy — regardless of whether a pair of glasses has a camera or not. That is a different topic from employer video surveillance of staff (which the FDPIC addresses separately), but the same principle applies: anyone wearing a device with a microphone or recording capability in a meeting should communicate that openly and, if unclear, ask their internal IT or compliance team.
This section offers general orientation, not legal advice. What's authoritative is your company's internal policy and the legal rules that apply to your specific situation.

Does an AI glasses fit your meeting?
Not legal advice — orientation for the conversation with your company.
Method: rule-based evaluation of three inputs, no AI scoring and no data transmission. The Even G2 is not automatically presented as the only solution; where a camera pair looks fundamentally unsuitable, the result says so too.
Who this suits — and who it doesn't
International teams switching between German and English, and people who present often, tend to benefit most from camera-free display glasses like the Even G2. Anyone barred from wearing electronic devices in highly sensitive discussions should respect that regardless of camera type. The Even G2 costs CHF 699.– including the case; at the Zürich showroom we demonstrate translation and teleprompter live, appointments by arrangement.
