Why would the display be outward facing? That doesn’t make any sense

In the article they talk about a low refresh rate outward facing display that could show animated faces so that people in real world feel more natural conversing with someone wearing the headset

Sounds like a shitty gimmick. Who tf would wear a headset like this when talking with other people?

I mean, most people have a phone handy and often pay more attention to those devices than the person they are talking to. Source, I have 3 teenagers at home.

Never. Googley eyes are the best.

I’m sure that will be one of the options.

Yeah, this isn't a gadget to sit down alone on your couch and game. It's intended to be a wearable that you can walk around with and interact with others while getting mixed reality info. Like for having meetings and presentations where you can display graphics over your real world landscape.
