There is that trope about how porn tends to dictate technological advancement. Probably will have some sway in this whole debacle. That said, not being as big as reddit is kind of nice. The best online communities are always smaller.

Oh wow Spez is still CEO? I thought he resigned after he edited that user’s comment without permission or whatever. Really kept a low profile since.

Yeah I think something like this will eventually be pretty mainstream. AR seems like the future in a lot of ways. This is just an early step.

I think that’s been normal a bit longer than a few years but I see your point

I feel the same way. It seems crazy to me that people would wear this thing out in public. The idea of wearing it to record important moments with friends and family is a little gross to me as well. I also think the price is simply way to high. But I’m also a little further out of step with mainstream consumer culture than I once was.

There’s definitely truth to “Apple people will buy anything Apple makes”, though this will really put that to the test at this price. I also think most of the truly unique functionality it provides will get boring over time. A lot of this stuff can be accomplished without wearing goggles.

My biggest question is if adoption will be too slow to encourage software development. I think they’ll need to drastically lower the price to get enough people to buy it that software development makes financial sense.

Never heard of it before seeing this but it looks really cool. I might have to give it a spin.

Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s by design. It’s powerful tool for pushing an agenda. Moderation only makes it more powerful.
