NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct 26, 2026--
Even Realities, the company behind camera-free, display-first smart glasses, today introduced Brown 2, a new tortoiseshell-inspired colorway for Even G2, alongside two accessories: Even G2 Clip (Polarized) and the Even G2 Chain. Designed to bring the warmth and character of traditional tortoiseshell eyewear to smart glasses, Brown 2 features a newly developed material that carries its layered pattern throughout the frame rather than applying it as a surface finish.

Each frame is individually shaped, pressed, tumbled, and polished for 20 hours, creating subtle variations that make every pair unique. Brown 2 is also the lightest Even G2 design to date, while retaining the camera-free, display-first technology that brings live translation, notifications, and a teleprompter directly into the wearer's field of view.
"For smart glasses to become part of everyday life, they need to feel like eyewear first, not technology,"said Will Wang, founder and CEO of Even Realities."The best technology fits naturally into your life, and that starts with designing glasses people genuinely want to wear. With Brown 2, we're bringing the craftsmanship and individuality of traditional eyewear into smart glasses, without compromising the technology that makes them useful."
Even G2 Brown 2: A Classic Eyewear Design, Reimagined
Traditional tortoiseshell eyewear is typically made from acetate, a material valued for its warmth and visual depth but sensitive to heat and humidity. For smart glasses, which require precise internal architecture to support their displays, Even Realities developed a new material that captures the richness of tortoiseshell while maintaining the structural precision, balance, and display clarity of Even G2. Brown 2 is available in both Frame A and Frame B styles.
Even G2 Clip (Polarized): Style and Protection for Brighter Days
The new polarized Even G2 clips extend Even G2's versatility outdoors, combining practical sun protection with a refined eyewear aesthetic. Featuring Silver Gray polarized lenses, the clips reduce glare from roads, water, and other reflective surfaces while providing 100% UVA/UVB protection. Designed for bright commutes and everyday outdoor use, the clips are available in both Frame A and Frame B styles.
Even G2 Chain: A Practical Accessory for Everyday Wear
The Even G2 Chain offers a convenient way to keep the glasses close when they’re not being worn, particularly for users who regularly take them on and off throughout the day. Crafted from stainless steel with a sandblasted gunmetal finish, the Chain complements Even G2’s understated design while allowing the glasses to rest comfortably around the neck between uses.

Even G2 Brown 2, Polarized Sun Clips, and the Even G2 Chain are available worldwide beginning today at www.evenrealities.com.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s Parliament resumed work on Monday with increased security and paid tribute to lawmaker Helen Haines who was critically injured last week in an alleged act of political violence.
Security screening measures were enhanced at Parliament House in the first session since Oct. 19, when authorities allege a driver rammed an SUV into Haines twice outside her electorate office. She remained in a Melbourne hospital on Monday in a serious but stable condition after both her legs were amputated.
A 43-year-old man has been charged with offenses including intentionally causing serious injury. Police have not revealed a motive.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was the first of several lawmakers to pay tribute to Haines, a respected independent. He proposed a motion expressing the Parliament’s wish for her recovery and support for her family. Her husband Phil Haines looked on from Parliament’s public gallery.
“While the investigations go on, we must not rush to conclusions. But nor can we shrug off the very real rise in anger that distorts and corrodes our public discourse,” Albanese told Parliament.
“Enabled by the anonymity and speed afforded by social media, we are seeing rage and aggression increasing, not just in politics, but toward workers in hospitality, in retail, in schools and in hospitals, toward police, paramedics and other officials,” Albanese added.
Albanese described a “normalization of the language of grievance and violence.”
“We must not conflate the robustness of Australian democracy with this rising tide of rage,” Albanese said.
Australian Federal Police Commissioner Krissy Barrett told Australian Broadcasting Corp. on Sunday threats against lawmakers were evenly spread between male and female politicians. But threats against women were more “personalized.”
Barrett said there was a “direct correlation” between the language political rivals use against each other and threats and abuse directed at lawmakers from the public.
Critics of Australian politics often complain that language that lawmakers sometimes use against each other would not be tolerated in any other workplace in the country.
Opposition leader Angus Taylor told Parliament he disagreed with those who saw a “causal connection between robust parliamentary debate and political violence.”
“We never allow that vigorous parliamentary debate to spill over into violence,” Taylor said.
Speaker Milton Dick noted that some lawmakers had suggested colleagues sign a so-called civility pledge in response to the alleged attack on Haines.
“This is a personal decision and I encourage all Members (of Parliament) to continue these discussions to decide the best way for themselves” to respond, Dick told Parliament.
Two months ago, Haines became the first Australian lawmaker to make such a pledge, advocated by a think tank established last year, Compassion in Politics Australia. Around six federal and state lawmakers have since committed to sign.
Independent lawmaker Kate Chaney said she intended to follow Haines’ example by making such a pledge.
“I think there’s something really symbolic about the fact that Helen was the only federal M.P. (Member of Parliament) to have signed this,” Chaney told the ABC.
“It is a very simple thing. It just says ‘in my political life, I pledge to act with honesty, respect and compassion.’ And that feels to me like a simple and poignant way to honor the contribution Helen’s made to the Parliament,” Chaney added.
The think tank's director, Jonathan Granger, said Haines approached his organization to sign the pledge in August after a media launch of the civility pledge attracted little attention. The pledge was a concept adopted from Compassion in Politics United Kingdom.
More Australian lawmakers had approached the organization to make the pledge than had been added to its website, Granger said. The organization was hoping for many more, given the focus in Parliament on Monday.
“It's just sad that it had to happen like this. ... What happened to Helen Haines was just a tragedy,” Granger said.
