As someone who's been into VR for a number of years, these seem like evolutionarily improvements at best versus something like a Quest 3. Absolutely not 'a new product category', and not at all worth the exorbitant price IMO.
Yes, there is a permanent anal probe to check all your health statuses and remind you to go poop in case you forget since you are totally immersed in VR.Where does that cable connect to? Your butt?
Whats your point? How they choose to market this doesn't change the fact its going to accelerate VR development.So much so that they were fucking terrified to even say VR the whole show...
The way for VR to become mainstream is not to market it as a way to play games, is it this hard to understand? Nobody cares about nerds shooting robots or aliens.And people said the PSVR2 was expensive ! And you'll find fanboy telling 3500$ is a OK price because this and this and because it's Apple.
And look, there is a WIRE, nobody is making a drama thread yet like for the PSVR2 ?
They really didn’t highlight how / if it actually can do fully rendered VR games with a high level of interactivity or just “immersive experiences” where you passively observe something in 3D and get to go along on rails. Would be awesome if it’s capable of doing a full game like Beat Saber or Astrobot but I feel like if that were possible they would have shown something. Does anyone know how successful Apple Arcade is? Because if it’s just that level of content I don’t think Occulus PSVR2 and Valve have much gaming competition. Every other application but gaming looks amazing though.People so fixated on the price. Meanwhile, Apple getting involved is a HUGE step forward for the future of VR.

You think anyone except hardcore early adopters will buy a VR headset? The only way for this to become mainstream is not to sell it as a fucking gaming headset.I very much doubt it. Nothing in the show was geared towards VR. It was all AR. Apple clearly want this to be a home computing system, not a VR headset. Why the fuck would VR developers choose this - which very, very few people will buy - over something like the Quest 3, which many millions will?
Sounds like something someone would've said about the iPhone 15 years ago or the Apple Watch 10 years ago.

Decisive Outstanding Achievement

Finally, a device that allows me to watch media and browse the web from the comfort of my home. Truly, Apple are visionaries.

You mean like an iPad that didn't do anything your iPhone couldn't?Right? They literally showed nothing I can't already do on a computer or TV.
Why? Why would you buy a first generation Apple product at that ridiculous price which will improve and surely price will only go down with the upcoming generations. Why would I eat that R&D cost?

The whole point of a VR headset is to do something new... not the same old shit, only with a big fucking goonish headset strapped to your face

The AR focus is a fair point. AR/VR seem like fairly relative tech, but thats really an assumption tbh. But the biggest thing to me is that the largest company on Earth is now involved. Thats going to accelerate development across the entire AR/VR category as a whole, so long as this doesn't bomb so hard they pull out from continuing.I very much doubt it.

Apple is looking at the bigger picture here, they aren’t making a device for gamers at all.
This is just the start too.
But the technology will only improve and competition will surely force the price down. It is a LONG way for VR. It will only get better and smaller and cheaper.I mean, most folks with apple produts tend to keep them in good condition and just sell them used for a good amount. I sold my previous generation iPad for 80% the cost of the new one.
No, this just means that in your eyes they're good at sweeping failures under the rug.It's like every generation of GAF says the same thing about a new apple product reveal.
And its like every generation get caught with their foot in their mouth a generation later.
This type of AR/VR for general applications will be much much bigger than gaming VR,
Come on. Lmao$3499

*EDIT*: See
i'll go further: it still feels like a beta of a solution looking for a problem...I think this is an impressive first generation product, but it still feels like a solution looking for a problem. Being a completely new platform with a long road ahead of it to prove and establish itself, I think Vision Pro is a fascinating concept. This is clearly a product for a very specific demographic, certainly not the everyman. Wake me up in 8 years when the third generation is announced or Apple finally shows off their AR vision glasses.
That’s because you are thinking about videogames.
This type of AR/VR for general applications will be much much bigger than gaming VR, which continues to be a pipe dream for nerds and nerds only.
Also “nothing I can’t do on my computer”, well that’s a take alright
to the moonThere goes my Apple stock
