It sounds like they're trying to do whatever they can to replicate the previous functionality, but without the company who made it getting in the way, the hardware itself is kind of interesting. I hear the battery life sucks and nothing on it is exactly novel, but I'd be interested to see what people could do with it's fancy display options combined with everything else.

The hardware itself had a glaring flaw and that was that it would overheat every 5 minutes and even be uncomfortably warm on it's wearer.

might be unoptimized software issue

I'm curious, what's interesting about the hardware?

Small and easy to wear form factor, monochrome laser projector are the two most interesting. Also a camera, microphone, a lot other sensors, packed in a tight case. If you build something DIY usually you can't make it this small.
