    Google Glass really feels smarter in this particular regard.

    Also they decided to stuff everything into the headset.

    Maybe making it a separate thing and moving as much mass and volume as possible to something worn on your belt or your back would be a better idea. EDIT: But I do understand how this doesn’t fit their marketing.

      Especially considering they already put the battery external, if you have to shove a battery in your pocket and run a wire up to your head they might as well have put more of the electronics there too.

      It would conserve a lot of weight and space and make it more comfortable to wear

        Yes, I didn’t see that initially. When they already have it in two parts, the “doesn’t fit marketing” part stops making sense.

        I agree. I thought they were going to do that to create a lighter, less intrusive headset. This just seems like the worst of both worlds. Maybe processing in the pocket became too hot without ventilation. I thought they were going to plug the thing into an iPhone in the pocket and offload power and processing there, but the Vision is very power hungry so I guess they eliminated that early on.

      Honestly, that part doesn’t strike me as any stranger than talking to someone wearing aviator sunglasses
