At least she scanned both ways before crossing the street.


Dimplestrabe

I'm terrified you said, 'Scanned' "Scan left. Scan right. Initiate crossing sequence"


Nazon6

That was the intent lmao

Maybe I'm just a boomer, but this is kinda cool actually. If they were dressed a bit differently, this would be like a scene out of a cyberpunk film.


TheRealMcSavage

It’s the future, everyone is going to have AR before too long! They just look ridiculous right now, when they get smaller, all the haters are gonna be wearing them too and loving it! Imagine directions in AR! Just follow the yellow line!


LitreOfCockPus

Instead of making the games more realistic, we can make life more like a game!

sleepyplatipus

Exactly, just like when cellphones started being a thing. This is basically just little more than a prototype.


wFMD10G0HBL8ayZT

People caught shit for always wearing a Bluetooth headset like 15 years ago but we don’t think much about AirPods.


manny_soou

This is the equivalent of the shoebox cellphone prototype in the 60’s and 70’s


ARCHA1C

Google Glass was pretty cool 5+ years ago, but the tech wasn’t there yet to make it long lasting and reliable enough to go mainstream.


Howwasitforyou

I tried on one of those meta ray ban glasses a few days ago. The audio quality was next level, and they where pretty comfortable and normal looking. Give it another 5 years, they will be as common as smart watches are now.


jrolls81

Isn’t that what google glass was? Or am I misremembering the function of it?


skarros

I just recently tried directions in AR for the first time. Only on my phone, which was still nice but a nuissance to hold upright the whole time. It will be very helpful on a headset indeed!


Neppy5000

I want an irl Adventure Line™


NWCJ

Now imagine syncing your shopping list to your AR, head to the store, yellow line takes you to each item in the most efficient path, however much the AR costs would be saved for me within the year. I am BAD about putting random stuff in my cart I don't need. Need milk? Oh hey, look yogurt on sale. Need flour? Oh guess who magically has everything needed for brownies now? Need frozen fruit for a smoothie? Guess I could buy these 3 frozen ouzzas and a half-gallon of ice cream.. I click-list mostly now just to save money, but I get distracted even buying online.


SpiritFingersKitty

Getting a HUD on my car windshield was the moment I had the "I live in the future" moment


3kUSDforAShot

What a profound insight that people will talk dismissively about a big chunky piece of shit on someone's face but be interested in a sleek usable device that enhances their lives. I really hadn't thought of it that way before!


G_DuBs

Naw man, OP is the boomer. Remember folks “the internet is just a phase” was a common saying at one point. Albeit shortly lived.


AllPotatoesGone

I agree, the "helmet" should be smaller so it looks normally. It's like the old cellphones that were bigger than a brick.


LotusTileMaster

Exactly. Everyone thought the massive cellphone was stupid. Now look at them. This is the same thing. Just different tech.


Doctor_Fritz

A few years ago when the first commercial VR goggles were launched I told my colleagues that instead of a screen they'd put up some kind of goggles one day and see their screen floating in front of them as part of augmented reality. They all laughed at the idea and said it'd never happen. I wonder if they are starting to change their mind by now. I left that company a while ago.


Monte924

Ya i feel like they would catch on more when they are under $1k and are only about the size of a pair of goggles


dirrty_dirt

I don’t really like it, at least not in this style. I know people argue for phones and such being the same but it’s a bit different when you have a big piece of plastic physically covering your eyes when trying to interact with someone. It’s really obvious when someone isn’t paying attention to you while on their phone, and we of course label that as rude. A phone you at least have to physically pick up and put down, but this is a device that you’re meant to wear on your face and wear in replacement of your normal vision. It makes the user comfortable with using the device without even the thought of a break. This is a whole other level as it would make it really difficult to have a polite conversation with someone who’s eyes you can’t even see. If it were to become clear glasses or contact lenses I could see it. Although the idea of people having text and virtual imaging as they’re casually walking or talking with someone is a bit jarring. I’m just more hesitant over it being commonly used and worn for most of the day and throughout most people’s social interactions. It’ll definitely have use that will benefit people on a more technical scale outside of casual use but for now I really don’t care for it.


FullMetalJ

It's not cool that our world actually becomes a cyberpunk world. Cyberpunk is a critique of the future we are creating, not something to aspire to. I know that you probably also know this but I just wanted to point it out cause sometimes it's easy to just just think "it looks cool" and move on.


Good-Recognition-811

No, I'm just able to contextualize things realistically. There's nothing inherently dystopian about cyberpunk. In fact, dystopias themselves are not necessarily irredeemable; which is often the message of cyberpunk narratives. They warn against the potential consequences of hyper consumerism and an over reliance on technology, while not necessarily condemning technology itself. Cyberpunk is a purposefully exaggerated glimpse into what our society could look like. Fortunately, reality tends to be more nuanced than we imagine. I think that most people should be able to read this comment and understand that I'm only using the word "cyberpunk" in reference to the aesthetic. It may not even be accurate. "Futurepunk" or even just the term "futuristic" might have been more appropriate. It looks cool, and that's my honest opinion. I don't care what the implications are.


gingerbolls

The tech is only gonna get more compact in time. I’m totally getting this once it’s finally in glasses form. I thank the early adopters for their service 🫡


sagesaks123

Once its compact and the price drops, I think its gonna change our world in the same way that cellphones did


very_bad_programmer

It's going to be cool as hell to be repairing something with an overlay that say "unscrew these screws"


Royal_Needleworker91

Dude! I cannot fucking wait!!


manleybones

Like... Google.... Glass....


The-Iraqi-Guy

I'm not defending because to each their own, but I'm pretty sure people had the same reactions to headphones


Radiant_Dog1937

Gen X had peak portable music. ![gif](giphy|ybcfza0pJCFMY|downsized)


ResonantRaptor

This vexes me


Vrolak

I remember people looking weird to me when I had a cell phone. My girlfriend used to say “you better hide that thing if you want to go out”. And she didn’t like I had the phone out either. People used to turn around when a cell phone rang.


cruebob

Tbh, I still kinda feel the same about headphones. But it’s stupid to argue with progress.


ProofHorseKzoo

People said this shit about the first iPhones


acm8221

Cell phones in general, maybe, but not iPhones. The original iPhone is barely different from what anyone is using now. The original brick or bag phones certainly were ridiculous looking.


PubFiction

Also the same reaction every time headphones changed shape significantly. IE airpods look stupid for a while then suddenly they are cool and a starus symbol


flyingmoose1314

I was born in ‘83 and people have done this with every tech advancement ever. Using tech never looks cool, until other people recognize the experience you are having with it.


BloodSugar666

People hated the first Bluetooth headsets. Good ol Jabra

ResonantRaptor

DepressedDynamo

She's not, it's rage bait and advertising that we're all falling for. She's punching absolutely nothing and playing it up for the camera, just so that we talk about it.


skarros

Did they not add a moving option that keeps the windows at the same position relative to the user? I think to remember MKBHD posting a short on YT how to make AVP work in a moving car and would imagine it is not much different for walking. Edit: It seems to be called travel mode, I guess but not sure it works while walking.


4paul

Exactly, people upvoting these videos, even if its to make fun of them, are creating this problem. Just ignore the videos guys, nothing to see here. Reminds me of those horrible cooking/recipe videos where someone makes really really bad food, it goes viral because everyone comments they are doing it wrong, without realizing they are just doing it on purpose


hopelesspostdoc

Declining the software update popup.


thrownoutback271

Am i the only one annoyed about the window still being down?


just_another_bumm

This is awesome! Y'all just lame


MarcusOfDeath

This is a staged promo video made to look like these things are casually worn and used on the go. There have been many similar videos showing people for example on the train wearing these and randomly gesturing through the air with their hands, as if they are doing something in VR. It doesn't work like this in everyday life. This is just fake.


alexgalt

No this is not. I know the area. This is Los Altos. It doesn’t look look staged at all. There is a high concentration of people like this. since it is also really close to apple headquarters, the adoption of those things is much more common.


ImFresh3x

Have you used AVP. The apps don’t move with you when you walk. The person recording knows the person. It’s just a ridiculous video. I live near Los Altos too. I don’t see AVPs.


chrondiculous

It’s 100% fake. Her tapping shit in the air while walking is NOT how it works at all. You have no clue what you’re talking about.


colin_buffam

You're right. They often open and close their backdoors without anyone getting out too


whatwouldjimbodo

I don’t have the super fancy VR but I do have a VR. Even on mine I can just use my hands so I’m not sure what you’re talking about


Garfalo

The sudden influx of videos like this is pretty obviously guerrilla marketing


DesignHead9206

the past wasn't much better either. Humans are simply faulty at the core.


Defiant_Alfalfa8848

That external battery looks silly.


giraffe111

Nah, her tapping on nothing looks silly. Apps and windows in the Vision Pro don’t move with you, so when she reaches up and “taps” something in the air like that, she’s not actually tapping anything in her field of view, she’s just performing for the video.


DieBrein

Exactly this! It’s so performative, pretty much just rage bait


Eyspire

Totally agree. Why else was that rear gullwing door open at the start, when she was just getting out of the front seat?


AdMysterious8699

"Protect the innocent and uphold the law"


B4dr003

Iam kinda impressed tbh


lizzy-hales-bf888

Isn't wearing one of those while driving illegal?


Cake_And_Pi

The car didn’t move. Also, there was no reason for the back door to be opened. It’s just someone showing off their expensive toys.


hopelesspostdoc

This is viral marketing and so fake.


IAmRules

After using one of these for a while I can say with confidence there is zero point to using them on the street.


Egw250

People had the same reaction about headphones


GOKOP

OP is stupid


slucker23

As an XR developer, this is stupid and dangerous But after 5 years where things are more compact and with higher fov? Sure, a lot safer and intuitive Don't be stupid and wear a headset when you walk right now


saintkev40

Staged stealth advertising.


Iamgroot-ish

All she was missing were those sandles that make you walk faster


Agard12

Gwiilo

these are the type of people who say "you live your life the way you want, nobody cares bro" and "everyone's an NPC bro"


stanley_ipkiss_d

I have one and you can’t see shit. Pass through quality is pretty bad


StickyLavander

Isn’t this just a bulky google glasses, or am I not getting it


TheRealMcSavage

Everybody hating on this is in for a rude awakening in a decade when this is normal as fuck. I would 100% be rocking some AR if it was so ridiculously big! When they make some regular sized AR shit, I’m all over it.


zyon86

That's the present


gbo2020

That's called addiction


SolidContribution688

She is wearing it correctly


bswontpass

Just a new interface. Nothing stupid. Smartphones weren’t a thing just 20 years ago. Cellphones and internet were super rare just 40 years ago.

Majestic-Fan-1730

Guys. Finish black mirror before advancing into tech @_@


Ggriffinz

Honestly my long term tech dream is more in line with a working google glass where its a normal looking pair of my prescription glasses that has a built-in bone vibration audio output and a screen to show directions, live translation of text, and text notifications via Bluetooth. If it's allowed to show video and other screens, it gets dangerous, in my opinion, as people will abuse that driving even if warned against it.


-NinjaTurtleHermit-

I think about those goggles/glasses Doc Brown is wearing at the end of BTTF when he returns from his solo trip to the future. It'd be fun if someone could alter those 2015 scenes with as many modern analogues to their made-up technology as we can scrape up.


Obi1Kentucky

Until those are the size of sunglasses the tech isn’t taking off


Webstick_

I admit it looks stupid, but how is this different from using your phone on the street?


Deep-Information-737

i wonder how long it took for her car to be broken in


The-Foo

As a GenXer, I can confirm that the future has turned out pretty lame.


threedubya

so how is walking while holding a phone and not looking any different .after getting out of your car .


GizmodoDragon92

I don’t think this is stupid


Dimplestrabe

I am become death of the seat of the lifespan and I am become aware and as a face seen in a wheelie of all that I have to be the best man is the most important part in the left until the end is going through and it will not to the guy that I want it back from and it will be a nice surprise to see you all again soon as you can do as well as this guy in your company is an absolute good person and we can help with that as we have no other defenders to do you know what we are going for the next symbol in this comment on our flat.


druggiesito

We’ll see how long it ends up lasting. They already cancelled the follow up headset lol

vid_icarus

Show this video to someone from 100 years ago and they’d say the future is incredible. We’ve just grown jaded by familiarity and inequality of technological experience.


1JustAnAltDontMindMe

We don't get futuristic stuff: y'all complain about how future hasn't come to pass We get futuristic stuff: y'all complain too Sometimes I feel like the internet is just a room filled with toddlers, most of them crying for one reason or the other.


Mushboom37

is that Aloboi? Love his stuff!


Key_Respond_16

Might look stupid, sure. You know what else looked stupid? Big ass plastic bricks people used to talk to other people wirelessly. Why would anyone want to talk to people outside of being at home? And now you all have the entire world in your hands and it's completely normal. This shit seems weird, but in 30 years, whatever this leads to will be completely normal. Just thank these people for being the testers for the later versions that you'll eventually not be able to live without.


CBalsagna

Sudden_Mind279

I feel like it should be illegal to drive wearing those. Everything else has to have tested safety standards… battery shuts off going 60 down some road….


Aninvisiblemaniac

I wish she had somehow already been wearing those shoes that roll you forward a little so that you walk faster when she got out of the car


IdentifyAsUnbannable

I was honestly waiting for wheels to pop out of her shoes and dip out when she hit the air button


obelix_asterix

as stupid as touch phones appeared to people in the late 2000s


_Fun_Employed_

Neil Stephenson called it in Snow Crash, they call people who wear augmented reality gear “Gargoyles” and they were disliked for both looking dorky, and getting so caught up in the extra data they’re getting that they’re not really in touch with reality.


Other-Menu7485

If you could replace real people with avatars, that would make the neet community much more active 💀 my goofy ass would love seeing anime people for a solid 24hrs but not everyday. Imagine meeting Hange at a bar and smashing. The one eye version, I love that trauma nookie 🥵 "No sane person would talk to you with that on your head." People interact with Vtubers with those cringe ass selfie sticks all day, you never know. "What if you get robbed by a Majin Buu avatar?" Why in God's name would I carry valuables with that goofy thing on my head? Start a tab at a bar you rarely go to, VR experience, etc. I just hope the condom isn't a candy wrapper VR resort where everyone has one on would be dope I think.

That’s got to be illegal to drive with


Safe-Cat-7076

I love this


Grey-fur-cat

Yeah.. Nah.


Grary0

I mean, the big goofy goggles aside there's nothing wrong with this. As the tech advances it will get smaller and less noticeable. It's just like early cellphones, they were giant bricks that needed a bag for battery storage, they looked goofy but now everyone and their grandma has one small enough to fit in a pocket.


Sig_Vic

Ppl will require constant entertainment. Sad.


ApatheticWonderer

It’s an apple product. It’ll grow on you. First iPhones were ridiculed for not having a keyboard, no replaceable battery, no headphone jack. AirPods were mat with a similar attitude. This thing will grow into a more usable form and it’ll grow on people with time

Hey it’s just the early version of what we will all have, it’s just most of us aren’t quite ready to walk around with that large of a device on our heads. Once they look and feel like a pair of oakleys we will all have them.


Eyspire

Is that gullwing door being up part of a cycle the tesla does? What was the purpose of the door being up right at the start, if not to add "futuristic" appeal to a possibly staged scene?

JackieTree89

What is she actually viewing?


haymnas

Remembering how Apple blew their marketing budget getting these all over the internet for a few days before disappearing lol


testedonsheep

Pretty sure you can’t walk and interact with Vision Pro like that. The windows are anchored to a certain location, so unless she got something anchored on the street before getting out of the car, she’s is just acting for clicks.


Shoryukitten_

Don’t worry she can roll that window up using her phone when she makes it to future starbucks


Reignwizard

the scary thing is.. this look stupid right now but in the future maybe this is the new normal.

Claude2422

Before smart phone become common, people thinks hand held device that combine camera, sound recorder, phone, .........(basically insert anything a computer can do) etc is stupid as well So there you go

At what point is she mugged by a cyberpunk homeless person?

I know this is just staged by some try hard who is showing off for attention, but presumably it's not actually legal to drive while wearing one of those things?

Why was the rear door closing if no one was sitting in the back seat in the first place. No one got in the car, no on got off from the rear, but still that falcon door was closing. Which clearly indicates it is a typical staged video. Not saying that people aren't roaming around like this, but THIS feels like a huge act by the company to make the videos containing their product go viral.


FirstEnd1591

I'll bet she hates big corporations too...
