Who is hating? Why don't you record with your smart phone? The point of the thread is to try to understand a use case between 'toy' (MKHBD).

I had the original iPhone and stayed with them until the 4s. I agree that generations of the product from now may be more immersive, but the biggest use case I see is to watch a movie in privacy. And then, per the review of this one I posted - what you're listening to bleeds out audibly to the people sitting next to you. So...

The real use is glasses for day to day, to see notifications, weather, identify objects around you, etc but even then is it really needed? I personally don't think so but Apple/tech companies will decide for us and you'll be an outsider if you don't own it (like a smartphone in 2024).

That being said, I saw some video of a guy playing fruit ninja on it. Spend $3500 to get bored of a game in 5min.. lol.

Every video I've seen I say to myself "I can do that on my iPhone/computer". It doesn't really solve a problem (yet), but I could see this being useful in a medical setting to identify diseases or help with surgeries.
Yeah, similar reaction here. I do like high end electronics, always have. I even had that Sony Vaio Z carbon fiber laptop with the sheet battery underneath it. I had the first iteration of the Razer Blade (the motherboard melted playing Dota), etc. I'm all for spending money on fun things, I'm just trying to understand how this product makes sense.

MKHBD repeatedly notes that it's a great idea, heavily limited by today's hardware/tech.

Early adopter tax is common in tech, and I agree. I just wonder where the productivity will kick in, because that's how they are being pitched. I'm typing this on a laptop, why would I need a window open in my periphery for Amazon Music, or have a TV show running in the background? Seems a bit like a dopamine injection for some that need constant stimuli.

Any civilian pretending they are productive in these is going to look like a try hard moron.
If they could be connected to surveillance cameras, other operational link-ups, sure. There are already nice tools for that, though, I think.

Casey Neistat walked down the street wearing it (with his film crew). Try walking around in Harlem with that on you, lol.
