> I don't think you can make the statement "worthy goal and definitely a market demand" without backing that up with any evidence.

Presumably the billions of dollars invested in this space would be evidence enough, or the success of things like the apple watch, or how Meta is shifting towards wearables to achieve a similar goal. I don't know what kind of "evidence" you're looking for here.

Do you have evidence this is something the market doesn't want?

The total failure of this product and all similar products like it.

The success of wearables doesn't mean people are looking to replace their phone -- these are all phone accessories. This AI pin would have been more successful as a phone accessory than a stand-alone device.

People already have to or want to carry their phone around; they are not looking for separate phone-replacement device. They want something that compliments their phone, not replaces it.

Yep. "I don't want to put forth the effort of taking my phone out of my pocket so instead I'll talk to a lapel pin and hold my hand out to read a really crappy projected monochrome display" is sorta.... silly.

That is only evidence that gambles are getting desperate.
