We just launched a new AR + AI glasses project on Kickstarter — happy to answer anything
Hey everyone — Dave here (I’m the CEO of Everysight - makers of the world's lightest weight, longest battery life AI glasses), and I wanted to share something we just launched and get feedback from this community.
We’ve been working on a new pair of AR glasses called Maverick AI, and the Kickstarter went live this week.
What we’re trying to do differently:
- No waveguides in sight!
- Keep it lightweight (target ~47g) so it’s something you’d actually wear all day
- Full-color in-lens display (not a projector screen / not meant for movies)
- Built more as a “heads-up layer for real life” vs a media device
- Native eye-tracking on the Pro version (for more contextual / hands-free interaction)
- Focus on practical use cases: translation, notifications, quick AI interactions, etc.
- Prescription support (handled post-campaign)
A few clarifications based on common questions we’re already seeing:
- Not designed for watching movies - technically possible, but not the goal
- Display is monocular (right lens)
- Connectivity is BLE (no wired data mode)
- SDK is planned ASAP after the campaign for developers
We’re early in the process and know there’s still a lot to prove - especially around real-world UX and developer ecosystem.
If you’re curious, the project is here:

But more importantly, I’d really value input from this group:
- What would actually make you wear something like this daily?
- What have other smart glasses gotten wrong?
- What would be a dealbreaker for you?
Happy to answer anything candidly (within reason). I know this space has seen a lot of overpromising, so feel free to be skeptical — that’s fair.
