Amazon-Backed Smart Glasses For $1,000: First Look 

Haha.. Ur post is over 9000

Tiel Master Thankyou, your comment made my night.

Are you really gonna just break $1,000 worth of tech?

And only for the left eye

Was that a reference to Sherlock tv series? Or something else?

Wyvern Apalis glasses already cost crazy prices this wont get cheaper unless its a mod plus most insurance plans cover glasses

Too real

@@mazterlalalaman you underestimate Chinese OEM

Apple more likely 5000

@@mazterlalalaman Whichever glasses do you mean? A pretty sturdy frame costs like 10$ on aliexpress and the labor cost is way less than that in the US or the EU. The main problem is if there is a market for these devices so they would sell.

I have a TV in my eyes

@@ObiEzeilo they already have those

And a forward facing camera. And a microsd port so you can make custom programs that work with the glasses.

But it doesn't have a camera. That would be needed. Then you're back to big and bulky.

Eyyy, where are the subtitles, in reality.

@@DrCognitive there are cameras smaller than a grain of sand

@@jaluek Those typically are fixed focus, so it wouldn't work in this situation. The smaller they get the crappier it would be and in our megapixel driven consumer market, it better be a good camera. Even with super small cameras that could meet the needs, it would push the cost to astronomical levels. You going to pay $20-30k for some smart glasses?

David Law Well if you're incompetent, it's always going to be over 9000 😌

They probably will create a third-party apps for stuff like that

haha, this is legendary! :D

Found it thank you.

Bigger base of consumers in retail.

That is the smartest thing I read today. Common sense.

You do realize you can sell your idea right? Dont delete this because if someone steals it you can sue. I mean if you want to. I say this because I would want you to be credited for the invention and get the money you deserve. Research online how to pitch an invention .

@Tommy Scott thats stupid. there are inventions specifically made for people in the medical field? Not everyone works in the medical field so thats boring Yet you can become filthy rich by creating equipment for people in the medical industry. What are you talking about ?

Finally you end up checking weather not from looking at sky

PhilipZakeus Apple may do it later, but at-least most of the time, they do it right. I’m not a fanboy or anything, I tend to hop between Android and iOS. Just that when Apple does their glasses, everyone else will probably copy their design like what happened with the headphone jack and the notch.

PhilipZakeus Steve Jobs would've done it. New apple wouldn't dare to do anything innovative or ambitious lmao.

Apple only does something when the technology isn’t new and they perfected it so it’s better than everyone else’s and they don’t waste money. i.e. FaceID.

Quinten McLaughlin Who said Steve jobs would've done it? We don't actually know if he would do something like this. That's why that argument is invalid as Steve is dead so we don't know his opinion on this.

@@sinecosine7493 Jesus. That 'argument' was never meant to be valid, not everything is supposed to be. Before he died there were rumors of apple going into more software, automotive, more smart products, etc. The most exciting thing at apple conventions for the past 6 years has been the new iPhone. That isn't exactly a good thing and it's getting kind of old, it seems like all this excitement about where apple will go next has been thrown out the window. Now it's about if they have USB c on the new iPad, what port they'll remove next on their laptops, or how minor the improvements are for the next iPhone. I don't know Steve jobs but I know he was a visionary and probably would've come up with something better than this by now. Apple was never meant to be a phone company, it was supposed to be a creative company. "think different" was the slogan, doesn't really apply to them now. Let's face it, apple is a boring company. So are most companies. It is just sad because of how interesting, creative, and impulsive it used to be 10+ years ago. It's to the point where the media is reporting the most useless, minor features because that is literally all they have done. Another phone, another watch, hey maybe a new iPad and $3000 imac, really? Apple is becoming a company Steve jobs used to always hate, just another company that doesn't stand out in any way and relies on success from 10 years ago to stay trendy. They now rely on their status and premium price, milking the past and giving nothing new, obviously won't last long. Apple was once that company that everyone seemed to love.

😂

Then the teachers are gonna wonder why every kid in there classes are wearing glasses all of a sudden lmao

People nowadays use their Apps more than their brains. Terrible idea you got there. Remembering names is a good exercise to keep your brain in check.

Once we can hook up a mini computer on the side of the glasses to the hologram and a camera, we can use search engine to analyze what's in front of us via Google, Facebook, twitter, etc...

Drives while dying

Actually shouldn't be a problem since checking notifications on the glasses wouldn't impact your field of view anywhere near as badly as looking at your phone

the image hovers at the bottom of your eyesight.

About 1/4s of car accidents are from texting, it's worse than drunk driving.... but people will get into car accidents anyways then blame the glasses because we are irresponsible spineless creatures

Both of those statements are so irrelevant to one another. watching tv ≠ crashing because of texting while driving. It would be more accurate if the 1990’s mom didn’t have seatbelts in her car because that’s a stronger correlation.

E2070Swn well same thing could be said about smart watches all u really need is the time right

I wanna watch The Office on my glasses while walking home. How come the can't get that?

It's this expensive because the tech is new and they're the only real competitors in the market. Wait for competition and the price will come down drastically

...and then you're selling hardware that will be sold cheaper by other companies in a matter of weeks. Basically startups like this either get overvalued to high heavens which in turn will make future development possible or just fizzle out. Given CNBC is shilling for them, it's pretty likely they'll do fine, sell the company for a few millions, no one in the end actually sees the glasses and that's about it.

Yeah that makes sense to let the phone do the processing, and focus on battery life and a less clunky/lighter design.

Naitrio Bluetooth has a signal processing delay so I’m not to sure relying on the phone is a viable option. Plus trying to make sure the information is encoded properly can be a pain. Then signal interference and a host of other things. Having it in the glasses is the best option until Bluetooth gets farther along but by them we will have the chips we need to do it in a smaller form imo. Amd is already talking about pushing to 3 or 5 nm nodes in ryzen 5th gen. A 3 nm chip design might help the size if its a custom chip but then we get into cost issues and economic pf scales issue.

Oh that kinda sucks. Maybe someday though can we have smart glasses that are very light and sleek.

Lol

Rod Sly Demeterio pretty sure the “your” is fine, as it would be from the dialogue of someone not a “nerd”, and for comical purposes, a “jock”.

Now, everyone is speechless at how far tech has come and how much money is there to be made. So the tables have turned

Still a nerd

@Jessica Iannacchino *the power of christ compels you* Please, no more of dat meme

Design was one of the biggest flaws of the Google Glass in my opinion. People constantly made fun of it and everyone regarded it as a gimmick. This looks like something people would actually wear but it uncertain how functional and practical it is.

@@Maxtez that's true!

The design is the exact reason why Google Glasses failed...

Glass didn't fail though. It never came out as an explicitly consumer device. It's currently being used by companies like Boeing.

@@NathanButh Unlike glass which is marketed towards companies such as Boeing, these glasses are being marketed towards consumers. It's why they need to make sure that the design is muted in comparison to Glass.

U in jail

Take a seat

Buy a woman

i thought the ring was cool idea.

But you will be wearing the glasses for the majority of the time, especially if they are prescription glasses that you need to see. Also, if you lose the ring, it's game over 🤷‍♀️

Imara Brooks Game over? What do you do if you lose an Apple Air Pod? You buy a replacement. Sure it’s probably going to be very expensive at first, but eventually it will get cheaper. I also find it very incredible you’d assume that something like that would be so easy to lose. People wear rings all the time, myself included, and majority of people don’t lose them most of the time. Heck people wear wedding rings for decades at a time and never lose them.

You mean you ready to wipe or swap by the front of yours glass with a dirty finger?

Dale Berry i dig the ring

Stop looking while driving

It could be used with smart navigation tools to give you directions as HUD arrows. Most people typically use the top half of their glasses for distance viewing so if the directions were in the lower portion you could avoid having to look down at your phone for directions. Would need some study to look at the impact on user safty though.

Nope they would catch on and confiscate them for the duration of the test

@sherry Judith it's totally not like there is a mini projector on them and the control switch ring or the fact the glasses won't projected only one way it will be both ways they would see that you are cheating lmao

jimbo the goth what if you need glasses, for example if you are near sighted the administration wouldn’t just take your glasses away. I wonder what they would do though

@@water7914 probably kick u out because u litraully brought glasses that u can use to talk to people or discover answers your point is odd maybe it's different where u are from but here in a test u can't have any phones or things that have access to Wi-Fi or texting

Your grammar shows me why you would need to cheat on a test.

Koua Vue people pay that much easily for name brand frames alone and it doesn’t do anything whatsoever except for being a fashion statement.

It should atleast have a camera and wifi

It's still new so i can understand the price and it does more than your normal glasses.... I spent $300 for my prescription glass and i believe people who loves fashion will spent more so why not? It's cool and does more than normal glass ...

These glasses will eventually replace your phone.

True. No need for these, but people will buy anyways. They always give excuses why it should be implemented, without analyzing the repercussions. Thanks to these dumb, entitled, spoiled, dim wits we got more problems.

Is $1000 a lot to you? Lmfao

It's about value. His point is that a very nice vacation and these glasses have the same price, despite the vacation having way higher value. This is true regardless of how much money you have or how much you can afford

islam is best ISLAM IS BEST

1000$ can get you a vacation? Haha where do you live

$1000 is a lot if you're an undergrad student, but if you're 30 with a job and still don't have a grand you've got issues.

LucianHalo early adopters pay premium prices. I paid $5000 for a 42” plasma TV 15 yrs ago...that’s life!

T BZ now you could probably get that for about $200 lol

Валерия Карреон yeah that's his whole point, but for 5k he had it 15 years earlier

A pair of smart glasses with no screen, that activates only when you want to, allows you to send, read and receive text messages/FB messages, interact with Alexa, ask a question in google, get local maps, get directions to where you’re going, play your music, take/make phone calls, show you the current weather, show you the weather forecast, and of course show you the current time, etc. That’s quite a bit of info - almost as much as any high end smart watch, all of which start at $399+ and go up to $1999+, all while in a much more ergonomic and private design that reduces your screen time while letting you connect more with the people and places you love in real life isn’t enough? Considering regular glasses can easily cost more than $300 each, $999 for these truly revolutionary smart glasses isn’t asking for that much considering they’re also just in low rate initial production, meaning the price will likely drop by ~25% by the end of next year, is really, really good all things considered.

masterbuck404 I know, that's why I'm saying haha. To kinda show the price comparison.

Never gonna happen. The cost per unit of processing power goes down as time goes by -- but that doesn't mean the cost of devices goes down. It means that we make much more powerful devices at the same or slightly higher cost. Early glasses like these will be silly toys for dumb rich people, just like the smart watches are. But the intention of the industry is to create robust general purpose devices capable of replacing a smartphone -- & those won't be set at cheap price points.

Dr. Zoidberg these glasses have about as much processing power as an Obamaphone. All they do is tell the weather and order Ubers not translate languages or run Augmented reality.

Augmented maps would be awesome. Also, Thelonewarrior, the helmet you’re referring to is probably Skully. The startup failed, scandals happened, attempts to revive, and the whole thing is still in a kind of limbo. People that preordered in 2014 are still waiting for one (no refund mentioned).

@@dr.zoidberg8666 If we advance our reshearch in the new computational techniques and similar we could double or triple the strenght of our electronics. so instead of laying the components of a microchip in the way that we are doing (or architecture of those even) if we do it another way we could very easily triple the power of graphics cards. so for example a graphics card which is 8 Gigabytes now if it had a different architecture it could achieve 16 or even 24 gigabytes same goes for processing chips. with different architecture 3 MHz processor could be a 6 GHz processor or even 9GHz processor and luckily hardware manufacturers are investing in these new architectures.

10 years is way too far out -- 10 years is basically the distance between the invention of the smart phone & the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 -- & information technology only accelerates. I fully expect to see a much more functional pair of glasses from Apple or Samsung by 2020 -- & something that can entirely replace a smartphone by 2022 or 2023.

I wonder how big the market is for 1k glasses that display smartwatch like interface. My guess is that the market for this at this price is understandably small.

@@phoenix_viridis Yeah, you're definitely right. At this point in the hype cycle, they're little more than a toy for the wealthy (or at least reasonably well off).

@@dr.zoidberg8666 Youre being ignorantly optimistic. Google glass was released in 2012, and this new 2018 invention is pretty much just a redesign.

@@kali3828 Nah, Google Glass probably shouldn't have ever been released to the public. It was basically nothing more than a tech demo to show the world that it was now possible to make small, high density transparent screens. That being said, the product that you're looking at ain't it either. This is an example of a company trying to cash in on the hype cycle before the real products come out, probably brought to you by either Apple of Samsung to begin with. It doesn't represent the cutting edge of what is possible technologically -- only a demonstration that the form factor is now possible. All of that aside, people forget all the time that technological progress is exponential, not linear. Take the human genome project. After 7 years of work, the project had completed right around 1% of the human genome. That lead all kinds of experts who don't understand how technology works to proclaim that we wouldn't see the human genome decoded until 2100 or later. Of course, the following 99% was completed in the next 7 years. That's how exponential progress looks. You see something that is only barely better than the Google Glass. I see that we've almost made it to a viable general purpose holographic interface.
