It's not as weird as the Meta Quest, where you literally have no idea wether the person wearing it is looking at you or not.
The view of someone's eyes is very low quality - I'll give you that. But it's better than nothing at all. And I'm not sure they could've done better without doubling the price of the product.
Nah, it's actually much weirder and more unsettling. You can't tell if someone's looking at you when they wear sunglasses either. No one cares. I'd much rather deal with that than creepy inhuman eyes.
Although there are better solutions than making a facsimile of real eyes, like putting a user-customisable avatar eye/indicator or something on top, which wouldn't get quite as uncanny. At least, not any more than wearing a sleep mask with an eye design on top.
