      Yes, the most important concern with accessibility devices: “Does it make me look attractive?”

      I mean, it’s the first prototype iteration of it, I’m sure there’ll be aesthetic improvements. Not to mention, this might be something some people would only use for specific situations where faster, more natural feeling conversation could be beneficial (e.g. meetings, presentations, meet and greets, etc) versus all day everyday. Lastly, even if used all day, every day, if you’re turned off from someone with a disability because they use a device like this, then honestly it’s helping that person avoid assholes.

      Edit: I’m apparently wrong, this is the 2nd iteration. But the first iteration was even bulkier and more obvious, so it doesn’t really contradict my first point.

        Not the guy you replied to, but am the guy below him.

        I mean, it’s the first prototype iteration of it, I’m sure there’ll be aesthetic improvements. …

        That’s all reasonable and good, post title got me because I was expecting something more refined, but that’s mostly my own interpretive fault. Came in expecting a consumer-ready, probably made in china, cool gadget, not a still-under-refinement accessibility device. As an accessibility device it makes total sense…
