It’s 2019. Where are our smart glasses?!
Ғылым және технология
Whether you think smart glasses are cool or creepy, for most people, they're not a part of everyday life. But AR glasses and headsets - including long-running projects like Google Glass - have found a niche with manufacturing, military simulations, and even the theater.

If they don't draw attention to it, Apple won't pay them.
What I really want is something that can clip into an existing motorcycle helmet. My motorcycle has a telemetry port where I can put a data recorder in there. It should be easy to get a bluetooth dongle that sends that same information to a headset. How awesome would it be to have a useful HUD in my helmet? Not the distracting stuff but speed, engine temp, etc? And maybe then also navigation from my phone as well.

Not really interested in anyone flying a car until we can eliminate the texting and driving problem. I never text and drive, but can you imagine flying objects, even if low to the ground, with people passively piloting them? I can't imagine that would end well.
This is like hearing about the first motion pictures on the radio. We’re watching this on our phones, unaware of the coming fundamental paradigm shifts coming in the next 20 years.

If they could get a larger field of view and do stuff my phone could. I would wear it. Who cares what people think of me. Granted if it is the size of the Microsoft HoloLens. Than no. But yea.
A great, comprehensive review of a broad spectrum of devices. Very informative about both past and current device innovations.

Simple answer is Cloud Computing. Once 5G is widely spread we could just have a glass with a super high ress screen and a battery, that’s it! All the heavy processing would be done in the Cloud, you would just stream the final video feed 👌
As someone with ADHD i can't think of something that would be more helpful with staying organized other than something like google glass. Having reminders pop up in the corner of my eye, recording important conversations to playback in case I forget instructional details. If people have an issue with being recorded, why are they ok with going ANYWHERE in a city. There are cameras recording your every move in every store, outside every store, at red lights, etc. Nothing you ever do is private, nobody wants to record you, get over it and stop the prevention of development for the entire species.
What the music used in this video ?
I'd use AR classes as monitor replacement when traveling... just connect your phone (as CPU) und you could work from anywhere (note that this needs to be AR, not VR, as one would want to be able to look at physical documents or the keyboard, for example)
You guys ARE HILARIOUS
I feel like they should talk about the most important technological limitations mainly being the small fov , the processing power required for it , perfect seamless tracking and most importantly price. it's not mainstream enough to get enough money to overcome all of these limitations and not mainstream enough for there to be enough developers to make very good robust software. it's kinda like the vr situation but much worse cuz the hardware is sub-par but for extremely high prices that barely anyone can afford, unlike even the early vr headsets that cost 400-1000$
Consumer AR is gonna be a thing that the average consumer becomes aware of in 2-3 years. it will start off being very expensive and a bit rough around the edges, but it will progressively come down in price while also becoming more advanced. My guess is that by 2025 AR is gonna be the new normal for many higher income tech consumers; and by 2035 it will be the norm for most people. Basically, you'll be able to expect most young people to adopt it by the late 20's, but many older people will be suspicious of it for a long time. I could see a 2045 where people who don't live their lives with AR are seen as rebellious or weird. like how in 2020 if you don't have a smartphone people will look at you like you have two heads. Interactive AR will change the way people interact with each other and those who don’t partake will likely find themselves excluded from some social circles as a result. A schism might form between AR users and the rest of society. Once they become a minority, non-augmented people might choose to form separate communities. Sounds like Deus Ex lol
I'm just waiting for a real-life E.D.I.T.H.
Talks about the Army using the headset, shows a video of a Sailor using the headset. Talks about Marines using the headset for training, shows the Army using the headset.
One day, it’ll be a contact lens style instead of using glass frames compounded with nano tech. One day guys one day.
Can’t wait for the first legit post saying “It’s 20XX. I’m watching this on my Apple Glass AR 4.”
I want a real life intrusive ads, americans will love it
Ski/snowboard AR goggles, please!!!
Eventually I want AR to come to the point where I can have Billie Eilish singing a lullaby in my room to help my insomnia.

This video made me start shopping again. Vuzix has some interesting options that don't look too ridiculous. North, I'm surprised at how "normal" their gear looks, in the pictures at least. I'm in the market again...
I want a pair absolutely
I think we are going to get flexible smartphone-bracelet/watches before we get the general populous to adopt AR glass's
Always thought that AR will have greater scope than the VR be it manufacturing, sales experience & service experience but they just haven't just taken off yet
Good video keep up the good work.
They have to make them so you can share your picture. People like to share whats going on on their world. So they don't feel so isolated.
If we get transparent oled panels up and running then the whole glass industry would change drastically

I just wanted to know where she go to gym
And what about AR via smartphone? That is even older and still no mass usage. I really wonder why...
She has Focals on the table the whole time.
In the movie "smart glass" used for spying instead for productivity, maybe that the reason they stop developing 😂
You say that. Then all I have to say is "It's 2019, where are the commercial flights to space at?!?". Which was the prediction of when it would happen in the 90s. An orbital flight.

Well, people might think Google Glass wearers will randomly shout things like "It's over 9000!" or such.
Gosh it's not that complicated. The only reason is that the Mobil computing power we have rn is no where near what AR requires.
What is this music
the hololens has a dork factor of 90 percent.Nones wearing these outside.
I would totally wear it if i could -3-

I'd love to own a pair of north focals. Most I'd be willing to pay is 300$
Why did she close her macbook like that????
A cool idea might be to use AR in helmets (like iron man now that I think about it) this would provide more room for technology and I reckon there could be a market for it.
Entire world with invasive amd dystopian advertising would be pretty sick ngl
I can feel the car accidents
She mean A.R., but says "air."
Says army yet shows Navy, then says Marines and shows army....
This Is A Really Cool And Informative Video. Thank You
If it will eventually replace smart phones, how would you casually interact with the content? Would you need a hand remote in your pocket? Is it all eye controlled? Little nods and twists with your neck? Eyebrow movements? Telepathy? Today most people use their smartphone on the bus, while waiting in line, at the library etc, everywhere, without drawing attention. Hand gestures are totally not an option, if you ask me, for everyday casual, in-world use.
I want !!!
Right now the tech is bulky, expensive, many parts of it aren't mature enough and because of this the applications are limited or can be easily replaced by any other screen. So for the consumer market AR isn't ready but its mature enough for the enterprise. Even in the current situation, I would love to test and try all these viewers but they're too expensive for that, so we wait.
These small and powerless devices have crappy 5 frames per second 144p graphics, and cost like a salary.... no wonder why they are so popular!
AR-15 stories are more common
wonder how many ads they will display.
This kind of delivery style is now so common on verge videos. I just keep imagining Dieter in these videos. Why not have you own unique style of presentation instead of just copying the same formula.
