This stuff is really cool and I really hope it becomes a normal for people to be wearing headsets out and about.
So many amazing things we could do with genuine AR devices on our heads all day.
Honestly, it sounds like a great way to further expand mass surveillance, advertising empires, compliance, and over reliance on technology that ultimately further removes us from our humanity.
I think I'm in the wrong place.
Cool, let's deal with that instead of just throwing away useful tools.
What about any of that doesn't sound amazing?
Surveillance and advertising are pretty big drawbacks for most people
Just imagine all the ads you can watch, while looking out at the sea with a morning coffee! Bliss!
Sounds dystopian as fuck. Just another thing to further separate us from reality.
You're going to end up one of those old people making memes bitching about phones being evil with a more modern flavor.
"Oh those young people these days can't even use their eyes anymore and all rely on those ocular patches to ingest any kind of view of the world. In my day we would stare up at the sun just to strengthen our eyes! We would be happy even for a field of view even 110° instead of this 460° hyper infrared nonsense the kids are all excited for these days. Look at them a little bit of signal interference and they all walk into walls like blind fish!"
Yeah, I think I'm gonna be fine as an old angry curmudgeon
