The only way that any "pin" of this type will make it is if it is actually a peripheral that connects to a phone. That's what this thing wants to be. A camera/speaker/microphone/laser box that you wear. It gives you answers or short messages on the palm of your hand. Want to see pictures you recently took with it? Whip out the phone.

You will not separate people from video calling and media consumption, sorry.

But imagine you had this as a peripheral for your phone. You could be on a call with someone, face to face, and then say, "hey, I will take you for a walk". Switch to the pin's camera and keep talking while your friend now sees more or less what you see as you walk around.
