I bet that if an AI is observing your eye movements, which includes a lot of info on not only where you look but also in what ways you are thinking and your emotional reactions and state, plus your other movements and reactions, also it hears everything you say, even without you intending to tell it anything directly, and you’ll probably want to be helping.
One point made during the presentation is that they are big on privacy, by which they mean that your eye movements are private and apps can’t just access them.
All accounts agree that Apple has essentially solved issues with fit and comfort.
People could only test them for 30 minutes. It’s not clear whether it’s comfortable to wear it 8 hours per day.
If Apple is going to hide eye movements from apps, that sounds very much like an alignment tax situation—a headset that doesn’t do this is going to get a lot of capabilities advantages, so Apple will need to stay far ahead on other fronts continuously to overcome that.
>All accounts agree that Apple has essentially solved issues with fit and comfort.
Besides the 30min point, is it really true that all accounts agree on that? I definitely remember reading in at least two reports something along the lines of, “clearly you can’t use this for hours, because it’s too heavy”. Sorry for not giving a source!

I imagine this will relax over time, like the early iPhone didn’t allow any access for apps to the phonecall hardware.
That depends on whether users value privacy and might be scared about a device that has deep access or whether users have no problem with that.
When Apple spends its marketing dollars on speaking about how it should be scary when a device has access they might convince customers.
This is a good point. I get a headache just from wearing normal headphones for a long period of time.

Two reviewers who worried about the weight: Norman Chan, Marques Brownlee.
Thanks! I’m very curious to see how this plays in practice, even more now.
If you would also have added links, I would have added the “nice, scholarship”-react.
Fixed! (Video reviews, so unfortunately there is no Ctrl-F to find the relevant part.)
FYI, on Youtube there absolutely is Ctrl-F to find the relevant part:
