Do you think people will enjoy living with a headset strapped to their face? The shots of that dad playing with his daughters while wearing the device seemed like a stretch that I'm surprised Apple took. This is the company that takes its "Human Interface Guidelines" seriously.

Yes, that part also shocked me. It looks like they've completely lost their mind, and don't realize they're shooting a remake of black mirror..

Like 1984, Black Mirror isn't a dystopia because of technology, but because it's in England. If you leave I expect everything's fine. Also solves being converted into Cybermen for the 100th time.

This is the funniest comment I've ever read on HN. After 3 months I've spent in London a year ago, I can never understand while people online hate England so much.

It’s like the Ohio of Europe

London is not representative of England, it's basically a different country.

I think the remote worker in a hotel was a more likely take.

A lot will depend on the quality of the virtual avatar generated for you while in a video call.

I didn't think people would enjoy looking at a 6 inch screen while hunched over for every second of their waking lives, but here we are.

Difference being I straighten myself occasionally and look at you in the eyes.

woah you must be really outgoing

Huh?

> Do you think people will enjoy living with a headset strapped to their face?

Yes, while they are working on something. I've often wanted to 'take my screen with me' as I moved to a different location.

Windows has had Remote Desktop for 20 years.

I dunno, beats pulling out a phone and fumbling with the record button.

Ah! So the solution to that problem is to have a mask strapped to your face with 2 hour battery life. Makes sense. Yeah that sounds better than my iPhone that fits in my pocket and lasts all day. I can deal with the occasional fumble to find the record button.

I mean keep an open mind right?
