@“rejj”#p118957 and does anyone, ever watch those stupid shaky cam videos with totally blown-out audio they are recording at these concerts? surely not
I've been known to show them to coworkers who couldn't care less the next day, and then never watched them again. Its been a few years since I've been to a concert but I don't think I'll ever record one again as it is a rather detached thing to do, plus once I hit my alcohol limit it really does become a game of how much of this $7 beer is worth spilling for this shaky video.
does anyone who has an office email and spreadsheet job actually want to be more “productive” in the sense it‘s being portrayed in the promos? Also, does the “productivity” angle hold any water? Idk bc I’ve never had that sort of job
@“yeso”#p119099 I think it’s because it covers the eyes, and apple is aware of this which is why they put fake eyes on it
You know those bugs and plants and stuff that have evolved fake eyes on their markings, and the legend that certain snakes can hypnotize their prey? Just thinking about some things
@“Gaagaagiins”#p119091 To pushback slightly on this argument, is this really any more obtrusive than an old school shoulder mounted camcorder with the eyepiece and shit?
The reason the camcorder is less obtrusive is you can poke your head out from behind it IMMEDIATELY to be like JESSICA GET IN LINE or whatever. you can put it down and go talk to your friend. with this thing, you gotta wrench it off if you wanna interact with your full actual face, and it will likely be more convenient to leave it on for the whole of the interaction. with the big camcorder, you know dad is still back there being like "do your trick" and then (again) leaning his head out to be like DO YOUR TRICK. Where with this thing dad is eternally behind glass with weird projected eyeballs. the layer of distance is more palpable than with a camera or a camcorder or whatever because it's strapped to the dad's head (it's just dads for me in this scenario) and isn't coming off without effort.
that said, I don't particularly care about other people's families so everyone can go nuts on these IMO. I reserve my right to scoff though!
@“Punzai”#p118821@exodus dagnabbit. I was wrong. It is your goofy avatar projected on the front screen. The camera inside are reading your expressions and recreating them which does feel weird…
@“Punzai”#p120968 there‘s a sick part of me that enjoys how cyberpunk dystopic the AI avatar is the more I think about it. I keep thinking it’s not so different from vtubers or FaceRig except the creativity of expression won't be there if they lock you into scanning your own face, which as I said when it was announced would be a missed opportunity.
@“exodus”#p120962 The reason the camcorder is less obtrusive is you can poke your head out from behind it IMMEDIATELY to be like JESSICA GET IN LINE or whatever.
This is a great point actually. The dads of the world can have startling neck dexterity
