The provided paper details a practical exploration of using the Even G2, a lightweight AI-powered smart glass by Even Realities, as an interface to remotely control local AI coding agents like Claude Code and Codex. The core of the utility lies in a feature called "Terminal Mode," which transforms the smart glass into a wearable display and interaction layer for a remote or local computer.

Core Methodology and Technical Implementation

The system functions as a bridge between the user's wearable hardware and a host machine running terminal-based AI agents.

1. Terminal Mode Integration: The Even G2 connects to a smartphone, which acts as a bridge to the "even-terminal" software running on a PC (e.g., a MacBook). This allows the glasses to project a real-time terminal interface, enabling the user to view outputs and interact with AI agents without requiring a physical monitor.
2. Interaction Layer: The system utilizes an optional smart ring controller, which supports touch-based navigation (scrolling, tapping) and voice input. This facilitates a hands-free, interactive loop where the user can issue commands, receive feedback, and authorize file modifications through the glasses.
3. Cross-Platform Connectivity: To overcome the limitation of being tethered to a local network, the author employs Tailscale, a zero-configuration VPN service based on the WireGuard protocol. By installing Tailscale on both the host computer and the mobile device, the system creates a virtual private mesh network. This allows the user to access the terminal interface from anywhere, provided the host machine is awake and connected to the internet.
4. Workflow Automation: The setup allows for persistent AI sessions. The user can perform deep, multi-turn conversational tasks—such as updating Notion pages, drafting project structures, or triggering automated sub-tasks in applications like DaVinci Resolve—while away from the desk.

Technical Requirements

• Infrastructure: The system requires the even-terminal CLI tool installed on the host and the Even Realities app on a smartphone. Dependencies such as Node.js and npm are necessary for managing the terminal session.
• Host Persistence: Because the AI agents run locally on the host machine, the host must be configured to prevent sleep modes to ensure continuous remote access via the glasses.
• Latency and Synchronization: The data stream is handled via the smartphone app, effectively mirroring the terminal's output buffer to the Even G2's monochromatic display.

Key Utility

The primary value of this approach is the decoupling of the developer from the physical workstation. By utilizing the Even G2 as a wearable, voice-enabled terminal window, the user gains the ability to "vibe code" or manage project states—specifically handling the frequent approval/authorization steps required by modern AI coding agents—without being physically present at their computer. The integration effectively turns the glasses into a "Head-Up Display" (HUD) for complex computing tasks, providing a significant boost to workflow flexibility and mobility.
