I expected them to mention the camera and microphone. It's not the only thing to pick on but it's what killed my interest in a devkit. The camera turns me from an idiot wearing some nerdy bullshit into asshole. I'll gladly look like an idiot if I have to, but I'm not going to force a camera into social situations and expect people to be OK with it using "just deal with it" rationalizations about how expectations w/r/t cameras are changing.
- DonHopkins 13y agoGood point. They should have left out the camera, and made it an optional bluetooth accessory that was a full sized digital recreation of Louis Mendes's Graflex Speed Graphic Press Camera. That way the glasshole hipsters could look totally retro and would get all the attention they wanted, and people would know they were having their picture taken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Mendes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Mendes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Graphic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_Graphic
- lsc 13y agoYup, the camera is also what killed it for me. I'm exactly the sort of guy who would pay fifteen hundred bucks for a hud, especially if it had even a nascent software ecosystem (I've already got a twiddler) And I'm absolutely okay wearing a bunch of nerdy shit on my face. The thing that annoys me is that because of google glass, the average person now expects a HUD to come with a camera, too, which takes the whole concept from nerdy, which I can embrace, to creepy, which I try to avoid. Google may have killed the very concept of a ubiquitous HUD.
