Dolphinasd Gaming in every test i wear my glasses despite having no trouble in reading or looking at close things, but you never know if you have to copy from one of your partners lol (i have myopia)
They’d be really good for public speaking if you could display more on them! I would actually pay the price if they could do this, it’s basically the cost of an iPhone
With current functionalities, this is the most useless piece of hardware. This does not add any value to anyone. They would have to build industrial functionalities to make it half decent - at best.
@@EpitomeLocke I remember an old commercial for Google glass that showed it identifying various parts of an airplane engine. Imagine if these glasses could pop up a schematic for you to follow for repairing a ship engine or airplane engine. If it could identify parts of a car and tell you where each screw is like in the video game "car mechanic simulator". A recipe for a meal could be right next to your line of sight or a bartender could get a drink mix for some obscure drink right on their glasses. A waiter could be given a hud to point at their tables and know how many minutes since they last checked in at each, leading to higher customer satisfaction and bigger tips. Stock workers could look at a shelf and know what is supposed to be on it and if there isn't, then push a button or make a note to notify procurement to purchase more of said item. Stocking shelves in a supermarket could also use that system. On the other side, consumers could look at a bottle of ketchup and have the glasses identify the brand and shape and size of the bottle and tell you if it's cheaper at another store or to buy it online, leading to more price competition. This would have been a useful feature for my mother since our local shoprite is now charging close to 80 cents a can for cat food and Amazon will deliver the same food at 50 cents per can. The glasses could also be used for instant sign translation when overseas. And if they have a microphone maybe even finally add subtitles to real life. The possibilities could be almost endless with the power of the internet right in front of tour face to help you.
@@anurgaprasad123 There's a reason why Google Glass failed. For me, it's not a really a glass at all. Also, the position is just weird. I for one, would love to see a smart glass a reality.
I think this tech is 5-10 yrs away. Lot of possibilities here. Detectives could use it to scan people who are in the system. Cops can get a GPS heads up for a run away or location. Imaginary pets :P
This isn't the future. Until these glasses are able to display more than just small amounts of information and for a smaller price tag, they won't take off. That's why Google failed.
You said it yourself, they give the same exact function a smart watch would. Just because the reviewer doesn’t personally want a smart watch doesn’t make these glasses a good product. It makes him a lazy consumer for not choosing a better (and cheaper) option. These look like they’ll be dead on arrival if they ever meet mass production.
5 months late, but I really think that they either got the wrong guy to talk about this product, or the glasses are doing that... I honestly doubt it's the glasses...
From what I hear, it's cool tech, but it has very little actual functionality available currently. You can't even make a phone call via Bluetooth, despite it having a speaker and microphone. Until they flesh out that functionally a lot more, and maybe make an SDK for developers, it's not worth it even for early adopters or people with money to burn. Also the current sizing method requiring you go in-person to one of their two stores and get them custom made is very impractical and will be very hard/costly to scale in the future.
1) $600? I could perhaps justify it if there's a good use case, I like it. 2) $200 more for prescription? Well that kinda puts it out of my price range. 3) Having to go to a sizing appointment at one of their stores? I'm currently in New Zealand, that's not going to work.
@@zheyuantang You're so correct! I opened my window once and I thought, well might as well keep the door unlocked too! I have just invited everyone to my house so they can watch me shower, and now I think I will just gave the deed to my house away for free! You can limit all tracking on your devices if you really want to, but something like this is very proprietary and most likely locked down.
COSMIC CHUCK I doubt that they will do that. The camera (and especially the possibility to take pictures of just about everything you see) is what killed google glass, so they wont risk their product also getting these problems
Transparent OLED layer in the back and prescription glasses in the front, packed with mic, camera and bone inducted sound via hinge. Now THAT would be the ultimate smartglass
There are other videos out which show how useless these are at the moment. They dont really do anything, not even call people, despite a microphone and speaker built in. And they take upto 10 weeks for delivery too. 600 dollars for glasses that dont actually work as glasses?!?! Nope. Not yet.
@@Dyedagain as in the guy in the video had to wear contacts and get plain prescription-free glasses to use them. So they only work for some people. Not everyone. If I had to wear contacts under my glasses, then they basically aren't fit for purpose. I love the idea, but until they rival my phones capabilities I'm gonna stay clear.
I predict another epic fail, and simultaneously looking forward to a device where screen is integrated directly into a contact lense, with a direct brain-integrated interface....
The one and only feature I want is auto focus for near, far to replace bifocals. If a company could do that, I think they would steal the entire eyewear market, and rightfully so. Imagine if anything at any distance was crystal clear without tilting your head up and down and getting dizzy. That would be a true leap forward in eyewear and solve a real problem. Seeing a notification of a like or a tweet in your eyes is not a problem that needs solving.
Needs a camera and the ring should be metal. Hopefully, a later version will pull the focal point for the images from your eyes. Like a built-in eye chart to configure them.
Honestly for what they are in such a new industry they're totally worth it, at some point we're gonna get tony stark glasses but that's not possible right now, it's the first time that we can have something like this without looking like a member of the borg collective.
All of this seems to be way too much effort. And you have to use a remote control to do whatever. I'll just pull up my cell phone no screwing around with multiple buttons. And another thing to recharge and you have to get your head scanned when you can just go to an eye doctor get a prescription and then go to a place like bon look and get a stylish pair of glasses for $150.
They look pretty cool, but lacking a camera is a serious killer. A camera with facial recognition could give me a heads up of people I've previously met
can we just take the time to appreciate that this guy actually seem like a genuine man reviewing these glasses and not just building a height train saying it's amazing everything about is amazing you got to buy one of these type bulshit that CNN does?
The projector makes the glasses uneven and therefore weird. They should have placed a dummy at the left side to keep thing balanced. Also, it should be an add on to existing glasses, just glue the model to you own glasses and a film at the inside of the glass.
Have fun waiting... Maybe they've been working on it for the last few years but they'll still be working on it for way more than a few years that's for sure.
What they need to make is jus a attachment that can attached to most glasses so ppl dun have to get an entirely new glasses and can be adjusted so it doesnt need any sort of 3d scan for the entire head which just make the item difficult to purchase.
That tilt on the glasses is too noticeable to ignore. And I agree with him, sending my texts to your servers vs bluetooth push seems like unnecessary extra steps - It almost sounds like a sad excuse, because that level of work has to be more of a battery drain than just a bluetooth link.
Nice that this tech is happening, but realistically speaking, I'll want one of those when I can get something closer to Hololens 2 or better in the form factor. Because I want like a screen that looks bigger than my phone, which would be a useful thing. Can't be anything less than what I can already get by looking at my phone instead. That plus something that can interact with the environment... an enhanced Google Maps/Street View with that AR functionality for instance. That will be the killer app for AR glasses. Of course, easier said than done, but when we get there it'll probably be the point this sort of tech will really explode, become mainstream, and get super popular. Because it's way easier to have a screen of any size in front of your eyes rather than carrying around multiple devices with different screen sizes to attend your needs. Could be paired even with wires to a smartphone, or say a desktop/laptop module. As long as it eliminates the need to carry 3 or 4 different slabs in a trip (say, smartphone, tablet, laptop, some gaming portable, HTPC, etc), should be enough. Then, if it ever becomes high res, powerful and bright enough, with some tech to block most of the external view, it could become a replacement for current VR, as well as replacement for all sorts of things that use a TV/monitor.
You’re probably gonna need a shutter for the camera. I think having the ability to shut the camera off is going to be needed. Movie theaters will start watching for it so you don’t pirate if people even still do that. But the main thing I was thinking is other people being uncomfortable with a camera filming them awkwardly close to their face. Not to mention the issue of wearing those in a public bathroom and just on and on. I guess you could make urinals more private somehow, but there will be a lot of social and practical issues like that to deal with.
What feature would you like to see in smart glasses?
