The problem is that it doesn't work, it's bad. You can make a bad product with a company with a "valuation" in the billions, we need to start to understand that. And there's good alternatives to the product that actually do work better at a similar price point.

This is not a "product market fit" problem, this is bad tech being pushed down the pipes until it makes it out of a fucked up company.

In what way is it bad? From the various video reviews I’ve seen, it seems to work a lot better than the Hololens circa a couple years ago.

  • It seems to be significantly worse than the Lenovo AR toy lightsaber thing that clips onto your phone (similar to Meta’s design).

  • Other reviews in this post say that it’s not even as good as the original Hololens

    • I would call bullshit on that. Just the double FOV would make it barely usable compared to completely useless like the first hololens.
