I don't really understand the use case for this. It's got no head-tracking, so no AR stuff. It's got no display, so can't even overlay non-AR stuff in your field of vision, which is the main reason that I'd be willing to stick an electronic device in front of my eyes. It's not a value play, because it costs about as much as AR goggles.
It gives you okay audio, a microphone, and not-so-impressive-compared-to-phone-cameras binocular video.
Maybe if it constantly recorded video and you could just smack a button to save the last N minutes or something, I could sort of see that, if you assume that people don't want to miss recording something critical, which they might with a smartphone -- with this, if you saw it, you could save it. But they don't permit for that, probably because the battery is too limited.
