We have all dreamed about using Iron Man's F.R.I.D.A.Y glasses and that dream may get fulfilled in the near future thanks to North’s Focals. This pair of glasses is all you will need as these can be connected to your phone and is as useful as a smartwatch. The Focals use a projector that directly projects the content of your glasses into your iris. This is very efficient as if it was projected onto the lens it could cause headaches and would have been uncomfortable for people to read for people, especially those with a high number. The iris projector prevents your friends and family from peeping into your glasses to see what you're looking at. The Focals are controlled by basic voice commands like any other machine learning software but if that’s not possible at the moment they also provide you with a ring with a tiny joystick which can be used to manoeuvre through your screen. You can’t currently buy these Focals but they are rumoured to be retailed at around $600 (Around Rs. 45,500). The Production of the Focals 2 came to a random stop with no reason and now the world waits. Some test models were given out to tech reviewers on YouTube though. People may think this idea was just stolen from the marvels iron man franchise but that would be incorrect as the idea of focals has been in production for over 10 years and I don’t think anyone would have thought that such an amazing piece of technology could be available so soon.
