- scop 3y agoWhile I can see this as useful for work, every other application does honestly frighten me. We're human. We're embodied. Digital things can be fun, but we're meant to be in the real world.
- epolanski 3y agoThe worst part of the presentation was the kids playing and the father with his scuba headset creeping on them with that thing recording everything. It doesn't really send a great message to children, jm2c. I'm also a bit scared we'll move from laying in bed with loved ones scrolling on our devices to even further isolation and distraction.
- gs17 3y agoI don't see the big difference from my dad running around with a camcorder when I was a kid (and it was considered normal for families to have really embarrassing home videos watched for laughs, I think AFV made me value privacy), or a modern father using a phone to film, other than with the headset he'd have to look in my direction instead of through an eyepiece or a screen.
- yieldcrv 3y agoI think a separate drone or cyborg will come out that does these recordings for us We’ll consume it during a leisure time with the same headset
- epolanski 3y agoI do because the visor is essentially a distraction machine, not just a recording one. Even the ad shows the father just distracted 24/7 and then interacting with the kids briefly.
- figassis 3y agoReminds me of that black mirror episode: The Entire History of You
- yusefnapora 3y agoI wouldn't be surprised if this year's iPhones include 3D photo / video capture hardware, now that they can talk publicly about the headset. I doubt many people will ever wear one of these to a birthday party, but I could see people flipping a toggle on their phone to capture in 3D. It would take up a bit more storage space, but you could go through and convert to 2D after the fact if you're low on space.
