Shame that Google Glass died because I'd like to have this for recording my dog, that way I'd be able to toss him a stick/a ball and just record him by looking at him and not having to awkwardly hold my phone in my off hand.
The augmented reality was also causing hallucinations for people who used them for long periods of time throughout the day. When they took the glasses off, they'd see menus or pop-ups that weren't there. This doesn't even get into all the eye strain and damage done to people's vision.
I never understood why they make shit you have to wear on your face when like 70% of the population wears glasses already.
Something I didn't find out until I was in physical therapy is how we rely on our sight for balance. One of the things they have you do when learning how to walk and stand again is closing your eyes and trying to balance on one foot. I've never been less interested in VR because of that.
Who knew it would end up being a fad like the last two times it was tried?
GoPro?
