Same in Polish. Actually, in my childhood, some of which was still under communism, "cosmonaut" was in use, "astronaut" came in the 90s, with Hollywood movies.

But 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
