The roast
Let's be clear: strapping a projector to your face in sunglasses form isn't innovation, it's a novelty act. Who is actually asking for this? The market for bulky, socially awkward, potentially blinding eyewear is, shall we say, niche. You're solving a problem that doesn't exist, and doing so with a device that sounds like it was dreamed up by a mad scientist in the 1980s. Beyond the sheer impracticality, consider the technical hurdles. Power, heat, resolution, field of view, eye safety – the list of 'how the hell do we do this' is longer than your perceived market demand. You're proposing a gadget that's likely to be heavy, uncomfortable, and deliver a subpar viewing experience, all while making the wearer look like a reject from a sci-fi convention.
Red flags
- No clear problem being solved
- Technically implausible given current miniaturization and power constraints
- Extremely niche and likely unappealing market
- Socially awkward form factor
Verdict
Go back to the drawing board and find a real problem to solve, not a ridiculous gadget to build.
