What is Terminal Mode?
Terminal Mode is a specialized feature for Even Realities G2 smart glasses that projects the real-time status of your AI coding agents directly into your line of sight. It transforms your eyewear into an ambient monitoring station for your development environment.
Why Founders and Dev-Founders Need It
In the age of AI-driven development, bottlenecks occur when agents wait for human input or get stuck in cycles. Terminal Mode allows you to manage these agents without being tethered to your desk, providing:
- Real-time Visibility: Track agent status (Running, Blocked, Waiting) through the glasses lens.
- Frictionless Interaction: Use voice commands to guide agents or tap to approve pull requests and deployment steps.
- Deep Focus Maintenance: Reduce context switching by monitoring your codebase flow while moving around, eating, or brainstorming away from the terminal.
How to Use It
To use Terminal Mode, you need the Even G2 smart glasses ($599). Once paired with your workstation, the glasses interface with agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Status updates are overlaid as ambient text, allowing for quick voice-activated overrides or confirmations.
Integrations and Alternatives
- Integrations: Compatible with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and standard CLI-based AI coding workflows.
- Alternatives: Meta Ray-Ban (Social/Camera focused), Xreal Air (Better for virtual screen immersion), and standard desktop-based dashboards like WakaTime.
