I don’t mean to make this personal, but have you raised a kid?

If someone is holding up an iPhone taking a video, especially up close it is a distraction.

Depending on how much they are aware of it and the person’s self consciousness, it can really take away from or alter a moment to have it so obviously recorded.

Kids can be extremely perceptive and sensitive.

Our kid is not even two and there is a subtle change when a phone is obviously out, pointed at them and capturing them.

I know it’s always better to interact without a phone in sight.

I still capture a lot of great stuff but sometimes something is so special I can’t bring myself to disrupt it by trying to record. My wife and I will look at each other and know something truly amazing is happening and both just live the moment.

Looking at the Apple Vision, as it is at launch—-it looks disruptive to both the subject and the wearer in the circumstances I’ve described above.

Perhaps in time they will become so ubiquitous a headset like this will be noticed as little as a smartphone.

But at the start, especially with the price and production volume expected this is very likely be an unusual thing to see around in the world.

Yet in the example Apple showed it appeared to be taken very, very close to the action.

I’d guess if someone tries to do this it will cause all the other kids to be looking at you, not your kid during their special moment.
