What happens when most of your team is Indian?
TL;DR - I'm an Apple fanboy like every other degen (I own 8 devices and was excited for this one), but… this is a whole lotta tech for nothing. I don't get why I would pay $3500 to have a device on my face all day to do regular things like video calls and read news articles...huh? Look, for spatial computing I would’ve expected Apple to come up with a holographic device that projects your apps in 3D so you don’t even need a headset. That would’ve been mindblowing. But, theater?? So Apple is telling me to watch 2-3-hour movies on this thing? My face would sweat even in an A/C room after 20 minutes on Quest 2, wouldn’t 1-2 hours be just hella uncomfortable? All that EMF on your face... a movie is a movie however "immersive" it's supposed to be. Why would I risk degrading my eyesight for this? (On Quest I limit my use to 30 minutes) I was waiting for some VR on the Vision Pro. I actually liked the metaverse experience on the Quest as something different from everyday life, even though still needing a ton of improvement. I don't see anything here that will compel me to throw away $3500 during these times. One thing I do like is the sleek design and headband, and hope our design team takes note. A laminated glass display? AKA lawsuit waiting to happen? I'm sure they did industrial-level testing and all... but I can just see my kids getting overexcited during game play and bam! Overall, I don't get the hype. And I still think our own RL guys are headless chickens so this is not about Meta-bias... don't come @ me. TC 650k
I guess we will have to see how it really is performance wise. If it is perfect, it will be absolutely groundbreaking. If it needs a lot of improvement it will be another oculus. The use case however, is a bit different. Mixed reality versus VR.
How many decades and billions will we have to throw away before realizing the simple fact that no one outside of a few loons wants to put goofy looking sh*t on their heads for an extended period.
AR is much bigger industry than VR 😅
I can never spend 3500 unless it can replace my phone and macbook.
Agreed. Both Meta Occulus and this device are waste products.
