No it doesn't. You've made a HUD that fits in a motorcycle helmet. You haven't created Iron Man.
The statement is then shortly followed by some obnoxious dubstep. It's a shame because it completely put me off looking further at what could be a great product.
- fossuser 12y agoIt's interesting comparing it to the sandwich videos - this video basically does everything wrong. http://www.fastcompany.com/1768550/adam-lisagor-advertisings-quietest-pitchman http://www.fastcompany.com/1768550/adam-lisagor-advertisings...
- lips 12y agoI had the exact same reaction. "Neat! Wait, this sucks to an extent that I'm dubious on the actual merits of the product, and the attempt at plain-faced profundity is misplaced. Show, don't tell." Also.. isn't it within the realm of storage/speed these days for "interactive voice agents" to use sampled audio phrases for such limited sets of vocabulary as "Turn left", "Call from", etc. This would be way sexier if it didn't have synthesized speech.
