I kind of like the idea. Take some pictures while doing other things like riding your bike or going on a hike without having to take out your phone. Take a quick picture while shopping to them to my wife. Get navigation cues without the phone. But they are so creepy

    I've seen videos on Instagram of people using them for a first person view without having to strap a GoPro to their head. Like for hobby work.

    But if you're going biking or whatever, you can just as easily strap a camera to your helmet, and get a 360° view to boot. If you're hiking or shopping, it's very little effort to take out your phone and snap a pic. And you get the benefit of being able to actually preview the shot.

    I really do not want to stick a camera to my helmet. I'm wearing that helmet as safety gear and I do not believe that it is safe to mount robust things with batteries to something which needs to absorb the impact of a fall.

    It wouldn't be any different from hitting one lying on the ground. The mounts are probably breakaway so that you don't end up with a punctured lithium battery strapped to your head.
