A Casey Neistat Vision Pro video posted over the weekend was, he says, simply intended to be a piece of silly fun – wearing the device while catching metro trains and walking through Times Square.

But he said that in the course of making the video, he had a totally unexpected experience, which convinced him that this type of device is the future of computing…

    Seeing the device used in a non-controlled environment really makes you reimagine how we’ll be use computers in the future.

    By far my favourite interaction cuts were when he replied to a message on the subway stairs and the butterfly donut. Both hilarious and frustrating to imagine that this is how the general public will behave using these devices outside.

        Those parts were definitely played for laughs in this instance. I mean, it’s not like there was anyone else using those stairs while he was typing.

          You can’t see a difference between typing on a phone versus a hunt-and-peck floating nothing? Are you wearing them right now? Is Tim Apple holding you hostage?

        I thought the comedic timing of the gags were funny and the people on the subway appeared to be somewhat interested or unbothered by the spectacle.

        Don’t let the monocle pop out of your eye, grandpa.
