- randallsquared 3y agoAvoiding any walking or driving? Sure, I guess, but most people can't stay at home forever any more than they could avoid using a phone.
- bpye 3y agoYou can still walk or drive - just take the headset off to do it…
- pinkmuffinere 3y agoHow 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… (/s)
- Detrytus 3y agoBut 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.
- dimask 3y agomaybe 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.
- lm28469 3y agoThe people who wish for this future are a complete mistery to me.
- slimrec77 3y agoThe 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?
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoWho would want such a world? This is technology looking for a problem to solve instead of the other way around.
- netsharc 3y agoI guess a future version will see that you're sitting in a driver's seat and will go crazy telling you to take it off. Although I wonder what it can do, going dark will be dangerous if someone is actually driving, I suppose it can threaten to revoke your device license..
- ayhanfuat 3y agoImagine not wearing a distracting device while you are in traffic.
- hparadiz 3y agoI could see a driving mode being useful since you could do things with nothing but your eyes leaving your hands free.
- Svennisen 3y agoBecause you don't need your eyes when driving? The thought of people driving around and multi tasking with their AR goggles gives me the heebie-jeebies.
- hparadiz 3y agoAs opposed to looking at a map? It's always something with you folks.
- jacquesm 3y agoYou're not supposed to be looking at a map while driving. Eyes on the road.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 3y agoYou look at a map before leaving... not while you're driving. So you try to navigate and drive at the same time!?
- kramerger 3y agoThat should be illegal. It removes a huge part of your field of vision.
- wongarsu 3y agoWe already have countless studies that talking on your phone while driving is really bad for reaction times and accident rates, even in hands-free setups. I can only imagine who much worse these numbers will look if you add distractions for your eyes to the mix.
