For $1500 I expect a full haptic suit I can wear while banging someone's avatar.

Great tech, but at that price I can't see it being massively successful.

These motherfuckers are so anxious to get your money they can barely contain themselves and make an actual viable product first.
They started selling digital land in the Metaverse before the Metaverse was even operational. And it still isn't.
Greed-driven innovation will never work [see NFTs for a prime example].

Sounds pretty Avatarded to me.
Thanks for putting yourself through this so we don’t have to.

very technical presentation, about qualcomm chipset/ partnership, eye tracking, battery, and heat dissipation. Him not using features on the pro headset he is wearing because he is worried about being embarrassed.
explains the Pro isnt for the general consumer masses.
Talks about the experiences of the Pro not stuttering moving in and out of UI while playing games in background. Pass through experience .
Very honest take on his work and real world differences of the pro compared to the quest 2. Talks of devs , limitations, pretty interesting if you are a nerd.
He definitely is tapped into the the beat of the consumers and nerds alike out there.
$50 to get Iron man icons around your face microtranaction guaranteed.phone sex is going to be fantastic, soon via codec avatars

Well, thinking back on steam index + controllers + towers at launch MSRP even selling, I don’t see why it’s shocking that this has a niche it will sell to?
Total turn off for me, just as index was. When you go from Quest 2 prices to those… ouf
Battery is apparently 1-2 hours too, that’s really bad.

Fair point in all seriousness. But the whole Meta experience is such a turn off to me. It seems to lack a strong focus that a niche product would have. Like what is the selling point for this headset? I thought it was the Metaverse; I'll admit I know next to nothing about it overall, and just like to laugh at the whole venture and bad avatars.
Just seems like a soulless piece of tech to me.

I have 7 VR headsets sitting on the shelf behind me as I type this, dating back to unit #42 of the DK1 Kickstarter, and I could not have any less interest in this device. Comically overpriced, comically underpowered, and comically underspec'ed. If someone gave me one I would sell it.

Carmack is a god in giving tech talks and can talk about silicone wavers and memory IO for 8 hours without pause.
I'm glad he's passionate but I hate to see his talents wasted at this dogshit company with its terrible products.

I have a WMR headset and 2 quest 2s(3 if I count the one I got for my other child who lives far away)
JC did say alot about the growing pains of VR and he did say it was going to be painful.
He does believe that one day/ in the far future, we are going to have a VR device that replaces most of our gadgets for work and play.
He knows we are not there yet but seems content on the small upgrades he has been part of in the whole VR growing space.
The inward camera that captures your face and expressions is a great step in that direction.
One day, these things(vr headsets) will be lighter, better, reflect yourself in a virtual space better, where you can spend time with grandma, your child, anyone who you love that is far away, in jail, or with major disabilities.
I think it would be great in certain cases as I have gotten a quest 2 for my other alienated child to play rec room. And being there playing laser tag or charades with my daughter in virtual space, speaking and seeing her short scaled to life avatar does bring these human connections better.
It only goin to get better for sure. But as much as I want to make fun of it now, it will one day have its uses.
maybe until then Ill just wait for the quest 3 to sign up as dev to sideload games.

Meta’s New Headset Will Track Your Eyes for Targeted Ads
The social media company gets one step closer to reading your mind.

Uhh, yeah no thanks.
Rest
All these years later I still chuckle at what a fucking moron that guy is.
Probably because it's id.
Well in context of gaming, there are plenty of talented engine developers doing great work out there, Carmack is not needed to push things forward.

Meta is a movement but needs to be supported by good games.
