The launch is reminding me of the initial skepticism greeting the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch launches.  I suspect it will follow the trajectory of the watch, slow at first until Apple and users find the way (initially the watch was marked as personalized fashion but later the health focus came to predominate as the reason to own it).

I think also of the initial launch of the AirPod.  At first I was self-conscious about wearing them and now I would never think of not using my AirPods Pro with noise cancellation when I am in a noisy urban environment.  We have come to accept people covering up their ears with bulky headphones, why not the same with eyes?

I see a bright future for this tech-

ALS and neuromuscular diseases

Technical and medical training, including the proverbial you tube how to videos.

Meditation and self improvement 

Movies

Spectator sports

Gaming

but unfortunately it will probably be the adult industry that will be the big factor in widespread adoption.

The movie is 3 and 1/2 hours long so not just the prostate afflicted need BR breaks.  It is a great film but it took my wife and I a three day weekend to watch it.

I suspect it is related to the US presidential election, specifically Trumps threats regarding tariffs (since the chips will be sent back to Taiwan and then reimported) and taxation.

This is so crazy, Canada is in the middle of a global organized crime car theft epidemic and the police have a major lead about how they are pulled off and they just drop the ball???!

If lack the authority then liaison with the port authority and Canadian customs to recover and investigate the theft.  They would have had access to the export manifest and it would have been a major boon in figuring out how this type of organized crime was being carried out.  No wonder why people feel abandoned by their governments.

It’s pathetic.

Oh wait, I forgot the priority is to investigate big tech.

Way to win the war Sweeney.  Hope all the legal fees and loss of business was worth it.
