But walking with your headset on can be a part of the value proposition, by adding some metadata to what you see. Imagine being shown directions in an unfamiliar place. Or seeing a distant bus and being told that this is the bus you're trying to catch. Once the technology becomes popular people will find a lot of reasons to walk with their headsets on.
maybe with less intrusive and lighter optical AR glasses that do not cover all your field of view, walking around the city would be more possible. But expecting to go around the streets or even drive with a huge AR headset is unreasonable for our times.
The people who wish for this future are a complete mistery to me.
Who would want such a world? This is technology looking for a problem to solve instead of the other way around.
The problem is I get all this already on my phone without wearing a $3500 mask.
It doesn't even make sense. What do you want blinking arrows on the ground to show the way instead of the much superior way of just looking at google maps now?
How are you supposed to know when the headset is going to fail though??? I guess in some failure modes you might anticipate it failing, but surely not all…
