- These smart glasses look great and work just fine, but probably aren't for everybody.

This is an advertisement not a review guys...
To be fair, the video itself is actually well edited. There was a lack of critique though, which made the video feel like an advertisement rather than a review.
*tony stark wants to know your location*
dude no
Just stop
😂
Lol
Like others are saying, this isn't a review at all but a 2 and half minute commercial for Focals.
"A company which, like the rest of us, didn't want to live in a future where Google Glass might be a real thing..."
North's website: "We've been acquired by Google!!"
What kind of review is this? It's like a lame lazily edited ad
X'D you could even hear the her "sigh!" at the end
She sounds so bored that she even sighs at 2:16... Tells a lot about both the product and TC’s production quality... How about a nice smile? :)
Arrigo Lupori Yeah I️ noticed that too.
tell's little about the product, tells everything about the "reporter"... they clearly want to quit their job. :/
It's like she was sleeping on a Sunday and they dragged her to make a review
You can also use the app to fit your glasses online
I was kinda disappointed that it doesn't come with RUclips 😂 would've been awesome to use that in class😂
Vision- ary only things with a black background can be used with these type of technologies.. so its a bit complicated
But can you cheat your math test witn those glasses,i already cheated my girlfriend thanks to focals,now i can get my diploma again
0:20 Google acquires north 😃
When she said they start at 600 dollars I had to get off 😂
when you buy them just for school
the reviewer sounds like she wanna quit her job
Sounds like a guy tbh

-She?-
JK. I'm not trying to call anyone out.
I can see where this "projection" is closest to Geordi La Forge's glasses in Star Trek, less the loss of entire vision (on our part). ;)
who here is from the recent news of Google buying North?
Recently had a demo of these in Brooklyn. As a kicker I'll say straight away these were not customised for me but the experience was truly awful. Besides the fact that if the glasses moved by even a millimeter I got three images overlapped, the worst part was the terrible quality of the text. Imagine a jpg image blown up and you get a ripply effect around the edge. Well that's what the images looked like. I've used most smart glasses and have owned Glass for 3 years. These are by far and away the worst experience I've had and unless North up their act they won't be around in a few years time. That said, I had a demo of Magic Leap while in New York too and that was equally as crap. Besides Glass, Vuzix Blade and Hololens are the only devices worth consideration....
I’m just happy that my future kids will look at this product and laugh
Once they turn 19 don't be surprise what they do with their lives
What is the address of North Store thats in Brooklyn???
They need to add a notes option
Why don’t they just put touch sensitivity on the side of the glasses
To be honest I am glad we don't have a HUD in a field of vision. Essentaily its going to destroy our memory capacity and encase our minds lives and naritives.
600$? dude, just make it more affordable and be richer. that's extremely expensive for that.
Wake me up when I can play minecraft on em
first line opened it up great. "Welcome to the 2019 eddition of will smart glasses actually be a thing" 😂
This has so much potential. Also this couldn’t be further from a review lmao
How I order this? How much is this? I think this is nice item to change tomorrow world
How to get destroyed by a car
Is it only compatible with iOS?
Believe it guys...We are very close to make EDITH Real
Ofc Google had to buy North, cz of them I can't buy any focals anymore.
Only we will see this
video support?
How much coast
Do ot have facial recognition?
I need a link to get the focals
There isn't one. They don't make them anymore. You can thank the clowns running this very service that you're watching this video on for that.
Black mirror
Oooooohh yeah. Canadian.
Screw Apple! My expensive photos I took while on a trip in China are still stuck to their damn iPod Nano. I personally feel they should either reimburse me or pay for the 3rd party software they know will work to get my photos off the iPod or fix iTunes back to the way it used to be when you could move photos back. Again Apple, I'm disappointed in your products, all of them (iPhone, Mac, iPod, earbuds). You focus so much on locking shit down that you heavily inconvenience the user. Also, why does it takes multi commands just to right click on your operating system??????
wtf
There are a number of ways to get your stuff back. Look up Louis Rossmans channel.
Why are you here????
@Orbiter watch the whole vid, check my other comment, and you'll understand.
@@gundam0039 this was just a very poorly put together "review". It does not even mention the "better" integration it has with *droid devices... and (typical) focus on the sheep of tech. If a "review" is going to be done, it should be done without bias.
Hello am from morocco i wanna buying this glasses pllllz
You can't anymore. Google shut them down.
as long as you cannot watch photos or watch a video it is not interesting for me
jesus I don't want this information overload!
isn't info "overload" actually using the hand held "fully capable" screen?
This is dumbing it down... presenting/shifting the "typical" info humans regularly consume. If you want to interact with everything, then we'd grab the candy bar or plop ourselves in front of a desktop. :)
What if you put the Emotiv headset on?
Great more products for people to even MORE not paining attention where they going, also what if your eye sight is bad and ? what if u half blind?
huh there glasses 👓 what do you do with glasses 👓 see so that delete your question
@@ironman_2077 Did you actually read the question ,and if you dont see the problem Then you need an actual glasses.
this device actually focus' the image as a reflection from the lens to the back of your eye (inside), so there is little to no real focus needed... it's more of a "visual shift" of where you're looking. The average person can't even focus that closely on an object.
Where can you buy these
0:51 In 2019 do we need to reference everything to Apple? Time to get over that company. There was no need to reference this tech to anything else, people know what it is by now.
Why so expensive?
Go into any sunglass hut or eyeglass store...check the prices for regular name brand sunglasses and you will forget your question.
iPhone Kingx check the prices for prescription glasses,600 bucks really isn’t that expensive in comparison
@@joshfajardo3154 That was exactly my point dude.
channel name reminds me of piedpiper
Edith
Omg. People are gonna have more car accidents due to distractions. Lol
Well shit, google bought focal company, rip, they are probs gonna ruin it
$600 is cheap as
Apple glasses way better!
Those don't even exist yet, not even a prototype exists....weird statement.
Check it out
No wonder why we getting dumber, constantly distracted, zero focus, constantly rely on tech to do the smallest things. Please, tell me who needs these things ???!
I see many uses for the tech itself, but none of them for mass production and sales
You are insane not to see what this can be capable of in some time....But just the gps and directions app is incredible if were speaking of the glasses now.
@@iPhoneKingx1 yeah, sure, but how often do you need those functions and have no extra hand to take your phone out?
Most of the time the device like this would just be another distraction that even harder to ignore than a smartphone.
thats why I don't think there is actually a big audience for it, especially if you consider the fact that we (humans) starting to notice the detrimental effects of social media and constant distraction by different types of messages your apps show you. It seems to me that within next 30 years all of that will at least begin to fall out of fashion. And I think that because when I listen to any of the people I admire I see that all of them are cutting on distracting tech. Also, I think there is a bunch of research teams working to see how much damage it all really does
@@arsenymakarov6961 phone gps can be wrong..hard to read at times..AR can clarify those doubts
How is this a review, its a fucking ad
why does this lady work at TechCrunch? She sounded disinterested the entire video and there was no review to be found... lame...
600$$$ hhahahaha
What a pathetic review
Crook! 😇🤣
North Smart Glasses shouldn't even bother trying to make their stuff compatible with the overated Apple company!!!!!!! Android, Linux, Google, Windows for Life!!!!!!
