"I Never Meta HMD I Didn't Like" Except "The Bucket On The Head That's Not Friendly To The Brain"

From Ray Kurzweil's Blog:
I really like the CEO's take on the OR: "A bucket on your head vs. aviator glasses? So how does it stack up against Google Glass? Meta says it will have 15x the display of Google Glass, with 3D (not just 2D), and will recognize hand gestures. And Oculus Rift? “That’s a ‘Matrix machine,’” said Meta CEO Meron Gribetz in a fun interview with me on Tuesday, December 17, 2013 . “You put a big bucket on your head, blocking you off from the real world and people around you, in simulated reality.” Gribetz, a neuroscientist, is not very happy with VR and user overload. “I got into this field as a neuroscientist, researching vision and natural user interfaces,” he explained. His goal: create a non-invasive visual interface that is friendly for the brain and avoids cognitive overload. (So now I know what to call my condition.) “The Meta is a natural machine, which uses the things that have evolved to manipulate our environment, namely, our hands. You reach out and you manipulate holograms,” Gribetz said."
