San Diego Police Department wrote, "While we’re all for exploring new dimensions and technology, let’s remember the importance of pedestrian safety. Keep those virtual experiences on the sidewalk, folks, and let’s cross streets the old-fashioned way — with our eyes wide open to the real world, unobstructed and without distractions!”
In the video, a man with green shorts and a white puffer coat makes gestures with his augmented reality goggles on. He crosses the street at a green light after walking past San Diego police officers who seem to be arresting someone at the intersection's corner.
