help North Focals FAQ
How did North Focals display information without a normal screen?
Focals used waveguide optics to place digital information into the wearer's field of view. The result was a heads-up display integrated into glasses rather than a phone-sized screen in front of the eyes.
What could North Focals show?
The glasses were designed for information such as notifications, weather, and directions. Their purpose was to make selected phone information visible without requiring the user to look down at a handset.
How were North Focals controlled?
North paired the glasses with a small ring-style controller called the Loop. That allowed users to navigate the interface without touching the glasses' lenses.
Are North Focals still a current smart-glasses product?
North was acquired by Google in 2020, and the original Focals product became a discontinued legacy device. That makes availability of the glasses, companion software, and support more important to verify than with a current retail product.
