Tell me you're into drone kink without telling me you're into drone kink. 😆

100% True

From what I understand the thing isn't see through and the eyes are actually projected outside. Can somebody explain why they had to add tech to do it?

So they can sell you custom eyes like cats and aliens and shit.

You actually remove your eyes before inserting the optical couplers into your sockets. You put your eyes in the storage compartment on the front giving the appearance that you're looking out through the device.

Because there are screens in the way? The choice was to either not have the viewer's eyes be visible, or use a screen to display eyes (not even real eyes, you can supposedly have cat eyes for an example). Considering the device is meant to be AR (augmented reality) and not VR, it kinda makes sense to show the user's eyes since they're still "connected" to the outside world. Otherwise you'd have a bunch of blank visors walking around and then people can't tell if you're looking at them or your furry waifu.

And the eyes are not the wearer's eyes. They are just digital eyes.

What do you mean? They added the outside screen to a vr headset to try to make it more acceptable to wear around others.

Maybe they think it makes you look less stupid.

Achieving realistic, fast camera passthrough on both sides is harder than you think

So they could have stopped at many points but decided humanity must suffer
