    In the video I’ve seen of it, it looks terrible, like I can’t imagine they actually decided to put that feature into production, it looks nothing like what they showed off in the first trailer. And even if it had looked right, it doesn’t seem that great a feature to be worth the extra battery drain and cost of putting extra displays on the front. It would’ve been more useful to just let the users put their own image on the display, like a mask or just fake anime eyes or whatever the fuck, anything but what they ended up with. I really hope they come out with a cheaper model that just does away with that whole feature altogether.

      Giant googly eyes. The answer is giant googly eyes.

      I think they were overly commited to that afterthought-idea and couldn’t make it work in time. They did a lot of work doing a 3-angled led surface instead of a simple screen and just shipped what they’ve got at the time. That’s probably why it’s complicated to put there just any image not tailored to it without even more weirdness, artifacts - and Apple can’t allow anything they haven’t done themselves to hurt their public image. And from the photoes of it’s insides, it looks like without that thing these googles could’ve been at least $500 cheaper.
