I wonder. These aren’t built for protection and have a ton of components inside, so it seems plausible that an impact may instead break stuff on the inside with direct access to your eyes, making it worse.
And if passthrough lags at a crucial moment, bye bye body part.
- andybak 2y agoI've never seen passthrough lag of any significance. It has on very rare occusations frozen, however. (I can only recall a single incident of that in 5 years)
- latexr 2y agoOnce is all it takes. I’d rather have a headset fail five thousand times but they’re all when playing a game, then having it fail just once when I’m dealing with power tools.
- nytesky 2y agoHa, as the OP posed it as a question: “what will happen…” and I was going to answer “lose a limb” The eye angle is even more troubling, to be frank. If I’m brining 2024 tech into wood shop, let’s make it robotic hands!
- orbital-decay 2y agoIt's absolutely not sufficient, and the lag has nothing to do with it. Wood dust is nasty, it tends to get through slightest cracks, and the protection has to be airtight. I've been sanding an old log cabin with an angle grinder before repainting it, and I had to visit an ophthalmologist to pick a piece of dust from my eye. I had safety glasses that looked exactly like [1] and the holes were enough for the dust to enter.
