Memes

BDs?

Also BL probably.

I wouldn't worry, most of em won't survive the traffic of cars and people.

Going forward I'm just going to refuse to talk to anyone wearing headsets. You can stand there and say all you want, if you'd like to talk to me then take the headset off. I sound like a boomer that doesn't understand wireless earbuds that pause and pass through outside audio automatically. I still take them out out of respect, though, if it's anything more than a sentence.

I wonder how it compares to staring down at one's phone though. At least in an AR scenario, you're looking straight ahead right? I can both see how that could improve your spatial and social awareness, but I can also see how you could tunnel vision on your content just as easily.

Is that hard to imagine? I see people nearly colliding into each other in the hallway on a daily basis looking at their phones.

I think people would learn to move out of the way at that point or just use Siri to respond. That felt very much like a “first-time” faux pas when he stops on the stairs.

Didn't think WALL-E would start so soon

Covering IRL advertisements is the only thing that interests me with this sort of tech. I would love to cover billboards with random memes or even just erase them. THAT would be a reason worth looking goofy as hell for.

remap advertising billboards into whatever you wanted.

OBEY.

CONSUME.

Gotta, say, the barrier between you and other people by having a headset obscure most of your face, sure feels strange, as far as human interactions go. They really haven't innovated at all in that regard, despite the promises of the virtual eyes at the front. I can't see the technology becoming ubiquitous in daily life, until it's nearly seamless.
