Do you think people will enjoy living with a headset strapped to their face? The shots of that dad playing with his daughters while wearing the device seemed like a stretch that I'm surprised Apple took. This is the company that takes its "Human Interface Guidelines" seriously.

I think the remote worker in a hotel was a more likely take. A lot will depend on the quality of the virtual avatar generated for you while in a video call.

Yes, that part also shocked me. It looks like they've completely lost their mind, and don't realize they're shooting a remake of black mirror..

  Like 1984, Black Mirror isn't a dystopia because of technology, but because it's in England. If you leave I expect everything's fine. Also solves being converted into Cybermen for the 100th time.

    This is the funniest comment I've ever read on HN. After 3 months I've spent in London a year ago, I can never understand while people online hate England so much.

  Ah! So the solution to that problem is to have a mask strapped to your face with 2 hour battery life. Makes sense. Yeah that sounds better than my iPhone that fits in my pocket and lasts all day. I can deal with the occasional fumble to find the record button.

I didn't think people would enjoy looking at a 6 inch screen while hunched over for every second of their waking lives, but here we are.

  Difference being I straighten myself occasionally and look at you in the eyes.
