Terminal Mode by Even Realities - Keep coding agents always in sight
by•
Terminal Mode by Even Realities unlocks an ambient terminal on Even G2 smart glasses. When a coding agent stalls, you catch it: see which agent needs you now, give direction, and approve key steps while your laptop runs long tasks, so token-maxers get more from every run and vibe coders stay in flow.

The voice experience is what I'm most curious about. How well does it work in places with a lot of background noise?

Great question. We designed voice in Terminal Mode as push-to-talk, not always-on dictation.
You tap and hold when you want to send a short instruction, so the audio window is intentional and brief. In normal street / cafe noise, short commands are the sweet spot.
Smart glasses have been looking for a killer use case for years. 'Ambient supervisor for AI agents' is interesting because it targets a workflow that's actively growing, not a general consumer behavior

nice spot, thanks!
This is one of the first smart glasses use cases that actually feels practical to me. Catching the moment an agent needs input, without babysitting the laptop, is a real workflow fix.

You bet!
Now you can be on the move more & still max out your productivity.

Keeping an agent's output in my peripheral view instead of alt-tabbing to a terminal is a genuinely different way to babysit long-running jobs. How readable is a streaming log on the display in practice — do you diff it down, or show the raw tail?

@oleksii_sekundant
Right now we can show the full raw tail, so you can enter a session and inspect the actual output when you need detail.
That said, raw logs are not always the best default for a glasses display. The direction we’re moving toward is a distilled state layer.
This is one of those ideas that seems obvious in hindsight but nobody was doing. Having agent output always visible while coding is a genuine workflow improvement, not just a nice-to-have. Curious how it handles multi-file refactors where you need to jump between contexts.

Double tap to see the whole list,
Single tap to zoom into one;
Rinse & repeat :D
Great Job! I see that this is great for approving permissions and finishing off a task.
One thing I was wondering was that if I have multiple terminals open will the glasses auto summarize every terminal or do I have to link it to one specific terminal and am restricted to only using one instance of an agent.
For AI like Claude where I have to direct it to specific folders or give it specific instructions, does the voice recognition support skills like if I wanted to use a skill in code and also how easy is it for me to rewind if the voice diction doesn't work properly and I need to go back to the previous state.
Apart from the peripheral vision what is the difference between the glasses vs setting it up on my phone using /remote control.
Will these glasses be Bluetooth and does that mean I will need to still have my phone on me

Great question!
1. No, we don't have an orchestrator that talks to your sessions. Each session still remain their own (so context stay clean), but we are working on something that can fulfill your need ;), just not in terminal.
2. Fair, but in your sight & on your phone screen in an app feel very different; try it and you will know what I mean.
3. Mhm, yes; that is a limitation.
@yulesenmiao Thank you!
Can approvals be more granular than just approve or deny? Some actions probably need more context.

@evelyn_chen6
Yes Eve,
I treat "Deny" as "Deny and tell my agent what to do". :D
One of those products has `flair` - looks `terminal` - great job on the concept. But missing critical parts, such as with the glob of notifications - there is no actual usability - critical items will be buried in the long list of terminal texts.

@ruhanirabin
I see where you are coming from.
That's the beauty of software innit! We can always iterate on this (and as we speak we are already half-sprint :)) ).
The tap-to-approve interaction looks simple, which is probably exactly what it should be. Reliability matters more than anything here.

@joe_0417
Agree!
Keep it light and keep it simple.
Battery life is my biggest question. How much does Terminal Mode affect all-day wear?

@ea_z
Glad you are asking this; We actually put a lot of engineering efforts into this.
TLDR: Skipping all the technical deep dives, we are confidently still all-day wear & pushing two days depending your usage!
