The Open Source nature of these glasses' design is what makes the respect their idea most, and surprised me when I first heard it. It definitely seems like they actually believe in their product.
Man you said it perfectly here. I literally just want a simple heads up display for notifications, maybe simple home controls like turning on lights and unlocking doors, and the Google assistant.
RIGHT! We got a glimpse of it with Google Glass. Then Focals delivered it, but the lens situation was hard to make universal. And then all these companies just gave up. WTF.
THIS is getting interesting. Keep us posted. I have pretty sophisticated lenses in my glasses, so getting this to my optometrist for my next pair will be critical.
PLEASE Review the Even Realities G1 - it's essentially a HUD, like this, just w/o the prism for the display, and uses a different tech instead. - Amazing video tho!! - I hope I get to see you more :)
Interesting story, I actually met the Brilliant Labs people. It was in a carnaval store. I got a pirate costume and they got glasses to get some inspiration for the design of their FRAME glasses....
I like these! They have proper Bluetooth LE API! Super slim HUD that you can build yourself would be possible with these. Preparing Flutter SDK is great as well. Me likey! PS: The AI stuff can take a hike 😄Good on them for utilizing the current hype word without actually tying the hardware to some proprietary hype stuff.
I'm actually more excited for the Even Realities glasses as the "prism" isn't visible. However, like all recent wearable stuff including the disastrous Humane, Rabbit, and perhaps even the Friend necklace, I'm not sure if it would end up in the same category.
Those look REALLY good. We've got some exciting tech available like waveguide displays in the RayNeo. We need a couple different options hitting the market to see what really fits different eyes and different faces. I would expect a solution that costs $200 more than the Frame to deliver a better discrete display.
@@SomeGadgetGuy funny thing you mention the RayNeo as I just saw CNET's review of their Air 2S which they did not recommend and I agree. I'd say there are two categories of products here, one which are the top-end AR displays like the Vision Pro, Meta Quest devices, and perhaps even the XREAL, which are full-featured displays / computers for work or entertainment, and the everyday "helpers" like this Frame, Even Realities, and Meta Ray-Ban's. I wouldn't mix the two as the energy requirements are drastically different due to vastly different levels of compute, even if the technology could get there. The former are real replacements for say, a home theater system, whereas the latter are for the smart watch (except maybe for health tracking).
It's the MAIN issue I've had with a lot of the marketing, and how companies keep blurring the lines between different product segments. A simple notification machine, is NOT a rich content display, which is NOT an environment aware AR solution. We need better clarity between product segments.
@@magicalhats honestly, I don’t need it. The additional weight of the module and the extra battery for its support is not worth the poorer quality of photos compared to the mobile phone, along with no viewfinder. There are trade-offs when making wearables. Same reason why no mainstream smartwatch has a camera.
This tech could be used to augment experiments before you do them, be it in a lab, fixing a car or plane. It could help with any safety procedures that is required to prevent harm and complacency. Could a HUD be projected of elevation and other important data when you pilot an aircraft? It would be cool to see what it can do to help with any math, physics or chemistry problem in the future. With the advent of Strawberry of OpenAI looming - the future is exciting. The open source software puts this apart from other competition making this a class of its own. Thanks for posting. Awesome find!
8:30 I've been thinking the same thing, why not improved the Ai and memory efficiency on the phone to take the load of the companies main servers. If the phone could have bigger storage, Larger memory and better performing Ai, then this can reduce the massive energy dependency on those companies servers. I'm flabbergasted by the amount of energy and water that is needed to make Ai technology possible.
Nice smartglasses... but since nine months I already use analog ones called INMO Go with about the same features (AI assistant, translation, navigation, teleprompting, notifications + calls and music) coming with sunny and prescription clips plus a case. They have two small speakers that Frame don't have. For navigation those are quite useful giving clear indications like when turning left or right, so you can close or open the visual as you wish when driving or biking. Finally for my normal usage, one battery charge goes easily 3 to 4 days.
Great observations. Am excited about future capabilities. Notably CC spoken speech, with bonus points for being able to discriminate same in noisier environments and with translated languages. Spending time with google and microsoft translate (and transcription) there are still conversational issues, but being able to see this in my eye while looking at the other person is significant. My friend tells me "nothing is lost in translation". I do not believe her. 😀
Nice review Juan, thanks! I miss Focals, I was so excited for 2.0. Brilliant's glasses seem like a potentially good, similar product. Hopefully they'll make more frame designs!
It's interesting to actually see some of the science fiction concepts I read about decades ago come to fruition now! These glasses, rendered in black, would look just like the ones I'm wearing now. I want to try prescription bifocals with these features in them some day soon.
@@farishanafiah8461 unfortunately I want something I could wear daily, and those are just not gonna cut it. These are still very nerdcore, but I could make it work
Thanks for the video While testing, what are the main things you're using it for? Simple text is a start, but the on-screen directions you showed towards the end of the video would be really cool. A notification system or messaging like Skype or Facebook Messenger would be awesome too. What would you say is the most feature-rich AI glasses currently available on the market?
I'm also huge on the idea of a face-level notification display. Problem for me is the fact I wear prescription glasses and, I imagine, it will be quite some time before we integrate this tech into prescription lenses.☹
It really depends on your prescription. Many of these products will have options to add prescription lenses. We still cant get to a broad availability though until we get more products out to consumers and see what the pain points might be.
Yeah. Tech manufacturers really haven't done us any favors. We could have sorted a lot of that stuff out if we had kept iterating since Google Glass. Imagine where we'd be if we'd continued over these last thirteen years to make optical systems more accessible to everyone...
I'll pass on the AI stuff, but if they can pipe pokémon from the pokémon Go app to appear in The real world like when you pull up the phone camera, this could be pretty fun. 😅. I'm only half kidding, but I see far more value in these for entertainment and low level information than as full-on user interface devices, at least for a little while yet.
I'm with you though. I want a headset that talks to my phone, my phone does all the processing, and the glasses can paint in data. We cant get there though until we improve the basics like a HUD.
not something I ever see using myself, but if I would it seems like one of the more nice designs without it going crazy on bulk and just look ridiculous. the text itself only is a shame, would be nice if you could get a bit more like if you use navigation you get an arrow where you should go or something like that.
Excuse me sir, I'm left eye dominant, is there an option for the prism to be in the left lense , apologies if you covered that in the video and I have missed it. Other than that I think that they look good and can definitely see where these would be popular especially if they tackle the issues of notifications and pictures that you spoke about. Another excellent video.
Check out the Even Realities G1 glasses which have Google Maps navigation implemented. The G1 are a similar concept to the glasses presented in this video but unfortunately they are almost double the price.
@@williw928and they don’t have a camera, unlike these. I think that’s an important reason to buy this technology because a camera means vision AI. For example if u want to translate a sign when u are on travel u can with Frame. And that’s a shame because the G1’s are a much more complete glasses but unfortunately I repeat they don’t have a camera.
prescription glasses will be useful, without this it fails in its main purpose to let the wearer see the world clearly... The glasses look like a unpainted warhammer miniature which needs to be painted manual.
I would like to request a refund for the Smart Glasses, following the instructions provided on your website on 8/30/24, the same day I received the product. I have emailed you and submitted a request through your website, but I have not received a response.

@@hammad9648Even Realities G1 are way closer to what we really want in smart glasses
Focals were so advanced for their time, damn google killed the,m =(
It kills me that we have nothing on the market for consumers.
The closest I've been able to find is the AR glasses Inmo have cooked up but it leaves a lot to be desired

They sell them in black 😁
@@SomeGadgetGuy I'm there!🤣
Not too interested in the AI stuff, talking to tech doesn't really appeal to me. A HUD built into my glasses is what I want.
There's always Xreal, Rokid, and RayNeo AR glasses.
@@farishanafiah8461 unfortunately I want something I could wear daily, and those are just not gonna cut it. These are still very nerdcore, but I could make it work
Anything with birdbath optics is probably gonna be a pass for all day wearing.
They look so good
I kinda like them. They're corny in an 80's chic kinda way.
I can't wait till something like this comes up that is like iron man glasses
I'm still waiting for someone to make light weight glasses with a built-in 2-4 x zoom lens :-D The Frame looks brilliant though.
Yeah that'll be a while. Folded lenses might get us there, but right now that's pricey.
Thanks for the video

Hey me too! I would prefer it be in my left eye also, but it still worked really well on my right.
@@SomeGadgetGuyUnfortunately due to a Christmas tree cataract im unable to get much from my right eye, less than 10 %
I expect it'll be a while before I consider something like this, I'm picky enough about regular glasses in terms of aesthetic 😅
I preorder it, waiting for shipping… I would like to see navigation notifications in frame
It was surprisngly handy on the Focals. Just a simple arrow pointing you to turns in walking directions. I would LOVE that here.
