“Google's parent company Alphabet has reportedly acquired a Canadian Company out of Kitchner [sic] Ontario called North. A company that makes AR Smartglasses branded "Focals." They have sales outlets in Toronto and Brooklyn NY.

North's introductory video below shows us just how natural they actually look on a user.”

Carmi Levy, a director at London’s Info-Tech Research Group, shares his perspective in this article.
