    1. Why is the screen not moving to the left when dude looks back at Rogan? I call bullshit. This is a pre-made presentation, not live.

    2. well if it isnt the father of modern VR headsets who sold his soul and his children to facebook.

    3. This guys is super excited he’s able to contribute to killing as effectively as possible. Is he grateful for the perpetual wars we currently have or the technology? He could have just as easily applied the tech to something more beneficial to humanity, so I assume it’s the wars. 

    4. Can’t wait for us to just give this shit to other counties as part of training packages for our allies to show how cool and advanced we are costing taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars while we have shit healthcare here at home. Neat!

      Sometimes i wonder how practical some of this stuff really is. Sure it’s cool but like what happens when you’re distracted looking at a screen. To many things going on at once trying to coordinate with everyone else during a live situation. Just send in a rocket and call it a day.

      Wouldn’t it make better sense to just build more drones, instead of using this overcomplicated system? It’s cool, but doesn’t seem practical.

      I’d be more interested in some kind of world-beater drone countermeasure. Because *fuck* drones being used in warfare.

      Somehow I get the vibe that thing doesn’t meet the ratings for what a helmet is meant for

      > It’s so crazy that I was born at the right time to actually build all [these weapons of war that would be perfectly fit in the hands of the nightmarish oppressive government of villains in many dystopian sci-fi stories]

      Very cool, Palmer. We’re all very impressed and think you’re super cool.

      If this were presented as a way for firefighters to maintain safety and locate survivors in a dangerous situation, I’d think it was amazing and this kid is going to change a lot of lives for the better. But, I think young Stark here hasn’t spent nearly enough time considering the ramifications of presenting this as gear of war and enforcement. It doesn’t take much imagination to see human rights being stripped away for the use of this new and amazing tech absolutely essential to maintain a fair, safe, and prosperous nation for us all. *cue patriotic theme music here

      I know I feel safer already.

      It’s not tracking their movements, it’s just guessing based off them going a consistent speed.

      So, on the one hand this looks impresive, on the other it’s clear it hasn’t been thoughly tested by troops.

      Look at the ground when they switch modes, everything gets a highlight over it.
      The Containers, the guy walking around, the dirt and rocks on the ground.

      Imagine seeing that and trying to take a shot at an enemy a hundred metres away who’s actually laying down and isn’t walking around like an obvious target.

      Oh, and another thing, if this thing is doing the processing locally then how does it handle the heat?
      Computer to run all that is going to draw power, and weight a bit, so it will get warm at some point.

      And if it isn’t running this locally it’s prone to interference.

      It has potential, but it also brings problems.

    12. So bro created aimbot from team mates perspective of the enemies coordinates ?? Entire team is getting banned for cheating !!
