Is it really unoriginal? If it is patentable then it is as original as one can get in an already very developed technological market. I’m not saying I want this out there, but that doesn’t mean that what they are doing is wholly unoriginal, especially if no one has done it before.
The only difference between their concept and Alexa, for example, is that you wear it on your face and tether it to a phone. Oh, I guess it also has a display you can read. Massive innovation right there.
I think the facial recognition bit of it is what makes it novel.
Under your argument the smartphone was not an innovation, it’s just a computer you carry in your pocket. And actually computers are not an innovation they are just calculators that can make a lot more calculations at one time.
It’s kind of disingenuous.
It is unoriginal because meta already did it! They directly referenced meta in their description.
