Can these smart glasses do what Google couldn’t?

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?

[JackGordon]

Wait so is the verge really deleting negative comments?

[dheeladheel]

Imagine deleting negative comments so that you look good. A new low for you guys smh

[nikhil]

the internet does not forget. NEVER FORGET

[airpods]

Why do all verge employees have a “buzzfeed” face.

"Now I don't have to dig my phone out of my bag to check the time!"
We have been able to do that for a while, it's called *a watch*

[NilsPontusW]

Omg. Imagine all the ppl on the subway just staring straight forward at you but they are in fact checking the weather.

[xiondFirst]

They got caught deleting negative comments so, now they aren't lmao.

[animator]

Why would I judge someone for not checking Instagram?

All i can think of is that we're closer to that one black mirror episode

[jlodog]

Proud to open these videos with adblock just to unlike.

[FlashTwoTimes]

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 YouTube if possible. They don’t really do much now

[MivusComedy]

when she said "laser" my immediate thought was "to destroy my enemies" LMAO

[alecxander]

A new age for cheating in exams has come

[fullselfcontrol]

Why is there so much confusion and negativity in the comments? I mean the review wasn't that terrible. Am I missing something?

[jjakaksmsjzjxjxj]

Imagine talking to alexa in public and everyone thinks your talkingto yourself

[wonderowl]

It would be the best teleprompter though... I will totally get it for speech and presentation if they implement that functionality.

Do you have permission to use their advertising? 🤔🤔🤔

This is perfect for giving a presentation and having your script right there, scrolling through your script with the ring.
