Why do you think people would prefer to use their phone over something like this? I assume people use their phone because that's what they have to use now. I could be wrong, I'm not representative of the average person, but if I could use my phone less and still engage with tech, I'd do it.
My assumption is that people like to be seen recording and/or recording themselves. I'm guessing 'terminally online phone' people don't have the impulse to use their phones less and keep it in their pocket?
I don't think so. Do people at a concert hold their phones out to be seen recording? No, they just want to record and that's the only way to do it. They'd love to be able to do it hands free for sure.
