[FOCALS BY NORTH REVIEW]
What if your smartphone was something you could wear on your face? No, not the creepy, canceled consumer version of Google Glass - but instead the classy, understated Focals by North. These smart glasses are an awkward first step into the future - but the particular future they promise might redefine the way you wear technology.

Not entirely, their Google Glass is now sold only for enterprise. Google is simply now letting smaller companies to take a risk and once one of them matures and nailed the product, they can buy them. Many big companies do this to reduce the amount of risk and expenses. What I'm excited is once this become a true consumer product, we just have to wait until HoloLens and Magic Leap technology to miniaturized and cram some of the their technologies into these glasses. That's where things gets more interesting. For the meantime in the near future, these glasses are basically companion devices like smartwatches.

A clip-on version might not be suitable with the current iteration as they're custom-made to fit, which is required since the field of view for the "display" has to be exact for it to be visible to your eyeballs. It could be adjustable though to fit. That being said, you'd need to already own a pair of eyeglasses for it to be a worthy purchase. For now, I'll stick with my "dumb" eyeglasses with transition lenses.

I went to get fitted in Brooklyn NY back on August the 2nd. By August 20th they we're finished and I was asked to come back to Brooklyn. (I live in Cincinnati area) so went back up there to receive my glasses. Just to find out they messed up my sizing, so I had to be refitted. They assured me they would make it a priority to get them shipped out to me as soon as possible. They gave me another 4 week waiting period as of the 17th of September to receive my new glasses.... I like how they call it "priority" but its taking them longer to make my second pair than the first. All I gotta say is I hope they get the size right this time! I've been anxiously waiting to use my focals!!

More or less, it seems like a good product "of the future" that simply has flaws in it's initial iteration. I'd say that if you: A. Want to be on the cutting edge of tech. B. Want something that's truly nifty that has practical utility both as a smart device AND as, well, your regular prescription glasses. C. You're in the market for a new pair of prescriptive glasses and you've got money to burn. D. Just want to see this get better in the future, because you know it can improve off it's initial attempt. That you should probably buy it. Something like this has a lot of practical day to day usage, and if they could put it on a diet and maybe lower the price by $100, a lot of people could buy into this. Unfortunately, I feel like people are going to need to buy into it now, hardware flaws aside, to ever see it get a second gen. i.e, the early adopters need to come out in force for this. And it's not like the hardware flaws made it unusable, and the software sounds largely fine. People should go for this if they can.
@kornkernel2232
@kornkernel2232 5 жыл бұрын
True, I think we should not really tell other people to really avoid it if they already have some extra cash to experiment with these devices. We need early adopters for this to become successful. Without them, these kind of innovation will not be even exist. I think the price are actually not that bad. They cost 1000 USD at most, far cheaper than Google Glasses and even more from Microsoft HoloLens (this is a different beast though but I just put here since they are leading us into these AR/MR future). For the most part they just look like normal glasses except for inability to fold like typical eye glasses. So even not in use, you still have functional sun glasses to use. Software-side, this can be easily improve upon as long as the hardware allows it. I hope for 2nd-gen, they should improve the battery and ability to fold. The resolution, maybe but I think this can wait for 3rd gen. It has to improve the common usability of a normal eye glasses and able to use it longer. Resolution is more like a creature comfort as long as it does not affect the core usability. We lived through times with lower resolution screens, at least for us who are older.

Personally, I feel the echo glasses from amazon appear a bit more polished, although, they don't have the lens projection. Not to mention, hundreds cheaper. Alexa essentially does everything a person can possibly think of at the current stage. It seems that the projection, even though it is really cool, can have significant implications on interpersonal relationships. Being consumed by the glasses display, instead of focusing in on the person in front of you. Thos is especially true as the technology becomes more refined.

Funny, the notification for this video came up at work when I was discussing the idea of having a smartphone in your eyes or near with a heads up display instead of a proper screen like a phone. Kinda cool actually. I slightly hope this serves as a segway to potentially implement the features and hardware of a smartphone into ourselves, with the necessary safeguards and such in place for security and safety reasons. Glasses that do this seem to be the much more convenient option though than something like an implant.

First gen tech is almost always like this, since the R&D isn't streamlined just yet as well as manufacturing. Give it time and it'll eventually be to the level where people will start investing into it and it'll be prolific enough for us mortals with money sense to buy a pair. Either way, I'm excited as tech like this could inspire more development when it comes to wearables, which is still limited to fitness bands, smartwatches, and wearable speakers via your neck or sunglasses.

I'm embarrassed to say that my regular glasses cost more than these... I think it has been 4 years since I had a pair of Rx (clear or tinted) that were cheaper than this. The Alain Miklis I'm wearing now were $1,100 with a very pedestrian prescription- and they are now Luxottica company. I tried Warby Parker, but they constantly fall off my face. What am I missing? I just though that's what quality glasses cost these day...

Give it to the third generation if it survives and I feel they will be legit a big industry. Also like that they look pretty stylish.

IMHO, If this company can survive through the next few years, we can see E.D.I.T.H - ish type of tech sooner than we think like in a snap of my finger. But if it isn't, the earlybird buyers will get a "Y.I.K.E.S" or the "Yeah, It's Kinda Early Smartglass" product. So hopefully they still be up for business before a bigger company stole the spotlight.

The problem with these smart glasses is that they try to put too much "smart" in the glasses when I already have a cell phone. For example, I may already have a $500 phone which has amazing graphics capabilities and processors, memory, CPU & ect. but the only function it will serve is to share access to it's sim card to the point that it may as well be a $50 flip phone for all of the tech it actually uses while the designers are trying to put a cell phone in my glasses with no room for a sim card. I wish they would cut down the hardware in the phone so that it simply works as a monitor with the phone providing the functionality & control.
