Isn't it easier to get a POV shot by using glasses though? It definitely makes easier and quicker to get shots that you wouldn't normally be able to get. E.g. you see someone doing some cool bike trick on the street. If you take out your phone in an attempt to capture the moment, you might miss it, while if you're using the Spectacles, you might not.

I get it, but for what? I mean, it's such a niche thing. I have to wear these ugly glasses that do ONE thing. Or just use my phone. People have their phones out CONSTANTLY. They spend more time in hands than they do pockets.
Yea but we're moving towards a world where our phones will stay in our pockets and we'll interact with it through glasses, watches, wearables, contacts, real world surfaces. If you think we're always connected now, wait for hypereality to start taking hold.

Um. Not mine. Maybe stop wildly generalizing and your market analysis will improve.

Oh brother, there is always that one person that has to call out someones "generalizations". It's just plain fact, that the current generation is hyper addicted to their smart phones. I walk into the break room, and the shop guys all in their 40-50s, are silently glued to their phones. Texting and driving is a real problem. Fear of missing out is a real problem. People walking down sidewalks oblivious to the rest of the world, is a real problem. Addiction to smartphones is a REAL problem.
I don't understand your position. This very article is evidence that his market analysis does not need to improve.
And just how much of most of these navel-gazing schleps lives are really worth capturing?
