'Lost My Mind'
Okay so I appreciate the attempt, but we can do much better AR than this in 2020. Should've hired the James Cameron team or something. #macysparade #verizonlive

prevnextAn army of AR (augmented reality) CGI fake flying sea horses floating down street in NYC, were on my TV when I turned it on. For a moment I lost my mind. 😳So #2020 .. forgot it was the #VerizonLive #MacysParade pic.twitter.com/rn5QDj3kUN

'Too Depressing'
Can I find a stream for the Macy's deep parade where they actually play what's going on in the parade rather than just playing stupid background music for the AR stuff... That defeats the purpose... This is too depressing #MacysParade #MacysThanksgivingParade

prevnextAR balloons aren’t doing it for me, but to be fair, neither do IRL ones. #MacysParade

'Disappointed'
So glad I tuned into the #MacysParade for the AR to completely drown out the performances. Can’t hear anything but elevator music. Disappointed and sad for the actual performers. 😒

prevFor the #VerizonLive #MacysParade what is the point of having live performers if you’re not going to play their music? If there are bagpipes I should hear bagpipes. If there are drums I should hear drums. The AR is cool but the point is to showcase talent. Not just balloons.
