Im was joking. I was implying you where trying to spark interest in that overpriced toy.
For an overpriced toy yes.$3500 is showing off?
perfect
for a gimmick it is.$3500 is showing off?
I don't think they're equivalent. The first two are small devices that when aren't being actively used are near enough non-existent, and are modifications to things that already existed but with more features.
Yes and no, yes its a self contained device, but it does have a battery pack that connects to it to power it via a tether. They did that to cut down on the weight on your head (and even than, its still a heavy headset). We got several in the office now we are experimenting with. I'll give apple credit, the feel, quality and quality of the screens is beyond any other headset on the market by a super large margin. Super premium feeling. Though I do not like wearing it so far, to front heavy.
Life has taught us that many will be stupid despite being told how to not be stupid.
When iPads came out, someone in the office got one and brought it to the office going around cubicle to cubicle showing people it. No joke. She's going around showing people..... Hey look, you can use the internet and swipe with your finger to use it. No keyboard needed.
oh I 100% agree, I'm just saying it FEELS premium. The tech just isn't there yet though to make these smaller and better at the same time. I can't imagine them being mainstream untill they are sunglass sized. I remember right after Apple unvieled the vision pro, reports were Meta/Zuck sent an internal memo basically being a sigh of relief that apple had not discovered or found any ways around the same laws of physics that were keeping them from making things smaller.
As for size, it seems getting smaller and smaller is more difficult as every year or two as new VR set comes out with better and better specs. So on one hand companies want beefier specs, but that involves bigger chips. Just comes down to if chip size and wires reduction can outweigh specs power. What they could do is cut the cord on better specs if they are good enough and try to really scale down size of chips and perhaps we could already have glasses sized VR sets. Kind of like consoles getting shrunk into slims, or ridiculously small PS1s and PS2s back in the day the size where they were barely bigger than a gamepad. The overall dimensions and weight were probably 1/4 or 1/6 the size of OG as long as people are happy with the same power.oh I 100% agree, I'm just saying it FEELS premium.

If we get to a point where they are this size, I think EVERYONE will jump on them and they'll become the new iPhone, or at least apple watch, an item that just slowly becomes "normal/everyone has one"
I set up the Wii at work one Christmas to let my coworkers check it out. We had a good day playing some wii sports.
I had the iPhone 5 on launch day and all my colleagues were all over it.
Fair enough. Sounds similar to the time a coworker wanted to do the same, but he never bothered even though it was his idea. lol
This is the opposite of a porn headset.I happen to catch this yesterday on Twitch
I see $100k cars driving around all the time
America is a big, diverse place. Where I live, you will 100% get robbed wearing a $3,000 Apple VR headset in public. Hell, you're 95% likely to get robbed wearing a $500 Meta Quest 3. I've seen people robbed here for their noise-cancelling headphones (maybe $150? worth?).
