Gen 1 had horrible picture quality. Casey Neistat made a review and it wasn't nowhere near good as an iPhone 5 from 2012 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF3iy

I really like the idea.

Honestly my biggest beef with this isn't the quality but the field of vision. It's so incredibly narrow and not at all how we imagine a "first person perspective" looks like for a human. (I know we lie to ourselves, and think that our peripheral vision is better than it is, but it doesn't matter)

  I think they did this so that it’s compatible with instagram/phones. But I expect that you’ll be able to take normal videos too

  Yes. I think this was a conscious choice. The field of view allows for a more compelling AR/VR projection.

  Oh yes the field of vision is very bad! I liked to take snapshots out when with my wife, and I'd turn my head and she wouldn't even be in the field of view. You have to turn your head 180 degrees like an owl and have them dead centre in front of the camera side to get them on film.

What would you use it for? I kind of like it conceptually, but hard to imagine how I'd actually use it.

  I bought a pair last year and have taken it on a few trips. It's been great for certain activities where I want to take pictures/videos but don't want to have a phone in my hand (like on a boat or parasailing). Another thing I noticed is that it allows me to record videos while staying in the moment. I took some videos with my wife and captured some cute interactions and conversations that I wouldn't have been able to record with my phone. Most of the photos and videos don't turn out great because of the camera/mic quality and because you can't see what's in frame but I got some fun videos from them.

  Would be great while driving. Better than a dash cam

    I did that. Unfortunately you'd have your stereo blasting, right? And then the second you upload it somewhere you'll get a copyright infringement notice and they mute the audio. Thanks Facebook.

  When I was younger I would have totally bought that for partying :D now perhaps for sightseeing and tourism or just general fun

  Useful when travelling so you don’t have a phone in your hand at all times. Few things are more enjoyable for me than looking at photo albums from trips I took years ago with loved ones.
