People said this about voice assistants as well, we would get used to talking to them in public after a little while. I've still not seen anyone speaking to Siri or Google in public. The only thing most people use them for is setting timers when cooking ...

> We all look stupid staring at our black rectangles

Do we really though? Reading a newspaper or book would be stupid as well

Yeah, new things will look weird until culturally appropriated. Two things that seem to differentiate AR/VR stuff from previous tech

1. They are more "worn" than "used"

2. They conceal your face while wearing

So maybe cultural acceptance might take a while...

EDIT: typos

The black rectangle form factor is the same as a notepad. Nothing about it screams "I'm completely out of touch with my reality"
