Even if they did want to give up their phones, they wouldn't for anything with a two to four hour device. Let alone something that only has a mild neato factor of a low powered laser projector. Smart watches do the same shit with a longer battery life and virtually no one's replacing their phones with those, either.

And even smartwatches found their own niche on the well being and health space. Since being constantly attached to your wrist they can monitor heart-rate, blood pressure, walking cadence and steps taken. A perfect sport training partner. But this thing doesn't have any such hook.
