The AR stuff is what I've wanted since the first Oculus dropped -- being able to remove all the obvious parts of technology from my physical spaces (the multiple monitors, the computer tower, all the cables and whatnot) in favor of a thing I put on my head and do real work? Yes please. Fuck gaming -- I want my life back, and to have work shoved off into a weird phantom realm where I don't have to think about or look at it when I'm off the clock.

They are betting on it being the next big thing, but I don't think it is. One side note the images shows clear googles, I'm pretty sure their model has no clear through vision, isn't it a black opaque front with camera? So if battery dies you lose external vision. For a product to take off it has to fill a use-case and a buyer's need. Why is wearing a goggle needed, it is cumbersome and limited. Workplace use woyld be fatiguing. Google Glass had a better idea (you could interact with the world normal and have AR as a bonus. The cost of apple product is also a barrier to many, and so you would get poor people with no access to functions. Just seems like they will share the fate of Metas AR googles.

I really want to try one for myself before I make any real opinions on it. I also won't say that it is DOA as much as I want to, because I said the same thing about the iPad and it's lack of Flash. At the end of the day I can't afford one anyway so it doesn't really matter to me, but it's some cool tech for sure.
