Can these smart glasses do what Google couldn’t?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 фев 2019
- Focals smart glasses by North use some of the tech previously seen in Intel’s Vaunt glasses. They project a laser onto your eye and show notifications, map directions, and text messages. Unlike Google Glass though, the Focals do not have any cameras. We reviewed the new smart glasses and found that while the technology might be the best yet, it’s far from perfect.

Would you use these smart glasses or a smartwatch?
This smart glasses are awesome
Watch
@Andi LP lol that will be sort of like using 2 smartwatches ....mostly
yes
Looks cool but I'm waiting for this to advance farther.
Wait so is the verge really deleting negative comments?
JackGordon yes
Is this a surprise to anyone?
yup, this video was filled with them a while back, but now i hardly see any
Yes, they are

Imagine deleting negative comments so that you look good. A new low for you guys smh
Preach it.
They are not deleting the comments. They are blocking comments from being seen by others.
@@circleofsorrow4583 Po-tay-to, po-tah-to. That's still censorship.
Meh
Also, not deleting certain comments like yours making themselves look good again.

What should we not forget?

What happened?
Can i cheat exam on this?
Best comments so far..
no only subtitle
Buy and use it fast, before people know about it.
Yes you should be able to do that, but it would be way too impractical,as you would need to send dozens of emails just for a paragraph of text.What's more you might not even be able to send images.

I don't follow this channel, but I can say that in this video they talked about cons too, they basically said that these are more expansive smartwatches and that we should wait for future innovations. (5:20 - 5:57, 6:12 - end)

@Jayvee Aurea congrats
I like the technology but they don’t have enough use. Phone calls & directions when driving are a must. I hope in the future we could have apps like twitter & Instagram or even RUclips if possible. They don’t really do much now
Don't forget the most important one witch is live translation
Intel had an identical concept, but canned it after some bad press. I really think they could've done a better job with their deep software engineering resources.

Hahahahaha best comment ever
based and codepilled
To code learn
This is perfect for giving a presentation and having your script right there, scrolling through your script with the ring.
"I want my seamless texting, music playback AND mapping. Then I'd be set." - Why don't you just stay at home instead?
BigBlueRabbit yes why did no one think of that. Just never leave your home, easy!
google glass can do that
This did not age well..
G 😆
this video is just an iOS user's perspective lol viewers still have no clue whether or not it works well with Android
That's verge for you.
Chinmaya everyone knows Apple is a closed ecosystem.
Please review with Android.
Apple had to buy their name from The Beatles. Nothing new or original, Apple just takes others ideas and refines and restyles then doubles the price 😀
@@Google_Does_Evil_Now Agreed.
Well get yourself and iPhone and stop blindly giving your information to a shady company like google.
@@yird2019 Get off RUclips
It would be the best teleprompter though... I will totally get it for speech and presentation if they implement that functionality.
not having to learn your text when you're presenting something, doing stand up and some other stuff that requires learning a lot of stuff is awesome
I love this idea, it’s so obvious in hindsight. Really a killer app for these for some people
Just used teleprompter. If it so important, memorized.
Yessss. I was looking through the comments to see if anyone mentioned this. They could also use that as a marketing point for big politicians who would seem more natural cause they don't have papers in front of them
yeah i think for notes or sum
20 years from now they are going to be coming out with smart contacts... Can't wait😱
I don't think it'll take that long. In the next 5-7 years graphene production will be perfected spark a tech revolution not seen since the industrial revolution. We'll be able to do everything but eat it.
SgtDerkDiggler graphene is pretty cool
Nosedive
Fun fact day contacts have already come
Imagine talking to alexa in public and everyone thinks your talkingto yourself
Why all the downvotes? I thought the review was clear and to the point across the board.
This felt like an ad.
What are you talking about? She mentioned plenty of negative points in the video as well.
Samuel Goodger, because all they showed was the promotional videos footage and not how the display actually looks like. What apps interfaces are like?
Reason why google fail. People has smartphone. The wearable tech is just a toy. We live our life difficult enough just not to forget to charge our phone.
It’s a review
How? She was pretty critical of it.

Deleting negative comments huh
Why did the negative comments come?
Lol. Only having fun goober. Love u !
Not even. You're cool enuff, if Eddie EVER WAS, and no. No location.
If this was under $100 I definitely bought it...
Not something this high tech unfortunately...
Not today at least, just wait a few years
So... you would not buy a Smart Watch either?
Yes, augmented reality. That will be really neat if all this does not turn into a support mess and privacy concern.
It should've a camera so i could send my mate the question paper and then he could send me answers.
Another thing 600$+ for that thing serves less productivity, imagine you having a mini handler to scroll down the couple of things where you can see the notifications by seeing your phone and it takes only a blink.
The verge next time please include 'include paid promotion'.
Am I missing anything? What’s with the hate on Verge?
Check reviewtechusa videos about them
You can’t blame them for the texting thing. It’s apple’s fault. In my opinion they did a very good job considering what they had to work with.

Second statement in description:
"They project a laser onto your eye-"
"UHHHHHHH NO"
Can you cheat on an exam with these? Asking for a friend
Can i use it in exam?? If yes then definitely it is made for me.
My thought!
Same 😂,
I think this is the best integration of smart glasses I've seen so far. Of course the kinks should be worked out and I also think maybe adding one ear bud to go along with the ring would be helpful so that you can have some privacy when interacting with the glasses in phone calls and such.
What does internet not forget and what did verge do!???
Verge deletes negative comments, the saying "The internet will not forget" meaning people have seen it and when the comment is removed, they won't forget it.
The number of times i would fall when i wore this is ungodly
The next-gen ones should have a spy-camera with recording and picture clicking available through the ring. That would be so awesome...
You mean like Google glass
No, Ashley, I don't like them...
The greatest advantage with this tech utte that it saves your neck. We're always looking down at our phones and it's causing us serious neck and back problems. Having our screen be on eye sight without having to hold it up is a huge deal
"I'm always running late, and I'm on the subway and needing to know the time. Now, I don't have to take my phone out of my bag just to get that information."
Uhh, you mean you got a watch, right?
Verge doesn’t make it clear what company is making these even worst then deleteing comments
Android, do they work well with Android?
Apple is a closed ecosystem. Always has been.
Did you test this with Android? Android is the one that 90% of the world uses.
"Not getting to distracted" passing red traffic light @2:25😅
Looks really interesting and I will definitely get a pair in a generation or two when improvements are made.
Fix the ph#/texting issue, mapping, transit and ride options other than the most expensive Uber, then it will be worth considering.
UberX isn't the most expensive, UberXL is
Smartwatches: Am I a joke to you?
when she said "laser" my immediate thought was "to destroy my enemies" LMAO
If you can control it with a smart watch rather than a ring I’m sold.
The laser reflects off the glass lens, passed your iris/lens INTO THE BACK OF YOUR EYE BALL and stops at the macula, not just "hits your eye: 1:23. The laser is being beamed into your eye ball.
It works the same as a red dot sight, what’s the problem?
Jeez, why so fussy
Where's the negative comments?
Lasers hitting my eye 24/7? I'm good.
alpachinos the lasers don’t hit your eye, they hit a polymer coated spot on the lens and that reflects light toward you eye. Similar to the head-up display (HUD) in many cars.
I would like the glass listen to conversations i'm having with my friends and suggest puns and jokes in real time. That'd make me less boring!
Interesting might help on a date could give u advice from the top dating guru's
I see it.
I like it.

Girl:I am checking my notifications.
Whoa, a RUclipsr who speaks at a thoughtful speed??? And still packs in as exacting technical info? Sign me up. Does she do her own tech/ science channel too?
Cool but for $600 with only simple notification and dictation support, who is this for? No average consumer would ever spend that much on an arguably useless product
I would argue that it manages to become more obvious and expensive compared to smart watches
Said everyone when iPhone came out with the smartphone
I'm glad about how far the technology has become. It looks nice, and the effect looks pretty good too. I like the ring controller idea. But I agree that for now, it's quite pointless and especially about the price. Hope they will keep developing it, and one day it will be a more helpful gadget and tool. (Hopefully more affordable also)
4:57 Now I only need Doctor Octopus address and I'm ready to be Spider-man
The Verge Would you be able to display pre-written text? For example if I have to make a long speech which I have not had much time to memorize. Would I be able to use this spectacles to allow me to scroll through the pages and pages of text for the speech on the lens? It would really help when making presentations as well as I could have prompts on screen instead of on the laptop
Finally I won't need yo study anynorr for test and exams 😂😍😎
Since your English seems broken (or you just mistyped) I think you need to study :)

I would prefer glasses like this over a watch. But i don't use Alexa. I hope google or someone makes a Google version of these glasses.
yeah so they can record everyone you go and display ads on it, no thanks. I'll wait until Apple makes a better one.
Google did this first
@@yird2019 You think apple doesn't follow you?
@@yird2019 there are no ads on Google Assistant
@@yird2019 Think about it: Why apple doesn't show you ads? Because you pay them. Now think about RUclips: if you pay, you won't see any ads. Get the point?
I want one except I want one that makes me look more like a futuristic badass
Very cool product. Hopefully this will spark more invoation and competition. I'd really have to see these at a lower price before considering buying
3:47 Have you ever heard of watches?
These remind me of “Edith” from Spider-Man: Far From Home.
I'm gonna wait till the ring doesn't make me look like I'm triggering something dangerous. I'd hate to miss my flight.
Imagine sitting on a bench in a park and watching a sunset and suddenly you start talking to Alexa... passers by are going to think you are crazy
Instagram for just 6 hours?
You can do better
Perfect device to sink you deeper in the digital void...
It'll be great if you can link it up with ABB robotic arm and you can pin- point (using the navigation ring) where you want it to work or hold on to.

"Dating app notifications" lol
Imagine walking to the subway and seeing someone standing in the middle of the platform like the dude in 3:45 smiling to themselves. I'd be scared as hell.
This reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077
Loosen up, and try not to just read off the script
How I wish _every_ RUclips content creator would take that advice!
She using glass to read off the script. Not everyone can be presenter.
I want them to make infared night vision with these. Put a small infared camera or two in it. Map them to the lenses and reduce the lag time as much as posible. Seems like it would be helpful in the military, much less bulky.
Adapt this to cycling sunglasses. A riding HUD display of speed, power, cadence, HR. Maybe throw in mapping too. Nearest competitor. Woah!
