A start-up called North is introducing a pair of smart glasses. These new glasses work with a projector that displays basic text and graphics information within an arms' length. The projector is able to display basic information such as the weather. The glasses offer Alexa integration. Each pair will cost $1000.
The pros:
From a design standpoint, these glasses are very attractive. The projector beam is cleverly hidden within the frame. It is a design that is unintrusive.
The cons:
The main cons are the functionalities and price. It is an extension of what the smartphone is already capable of doing. It does not offer any outstanding or unique feature. At a price tag of 1000 dollars, it is a hard buy for a novelty. One of the reasons why Google Glass was unsuccessful was because of its high price tag. While price is not a definite indication of success, paying 1000 dollars for a smartphone extension is not plausible for the average consumer.
What is your opinion?
Will this product prove to be successful?
Can you identify any functionalities that make this product a must have?
