    Where is this white wire connecting to?

    edit: to a small battery you slip in your pocket that gives (I think they said) 2 hrs of battery life. Just enough to watch all of 1% of movies released in the last 10 years.

    It’s called Vision Pro.

    It’s a very super Black Mirror experience to film your kids playing with bubbles while not looking at them unencumbered so you can watch your kids playing with bubbles later when they’re no longer spending time with you/your wife and kids left you because you never looked at them unencumbered.

    The EyeSight feature (your eyes displaying out to nearby people) is disturbing as fuck.

    It’s starting with the “Pro” designation to allow more consumer prices with a later iteration. So yeah, guessing $5k.

    edit: $3499

    I just want something in ten years that looks exactly like my glasses I wear normally with these AR capabilities.

    At one point it looked like VR would be the next big thing after mobile.

    Nope, AI.

    I like my quest 2 a lot I just forget about it. I also don't have the best place to play. My previous house didn't either, dove headfirst into a dresser playing superhot vr.

    I'm surprised at how much people are shitting on this. Def understand the "this is terrible for our country but great content" vibes but the potential is wild. its a computer/monitor/100-foot tv/8-tvs with whatever level of digital immersion you want. its totally a black mirror product but i feel like it'll be incredibly fun to use.

    I don't see how this headset isa going to be successful at that price. Only the hardest of hardcore Apple people are going to be buying that.

    Bigscreen VR is the only thing i've ever used on the quest. I dont care for the rest of the stuff, but being able to sit in a theater and watch a movie while in bed is awesome.

    Wander is pretty fucking cool if you haven't checked that out. Basically google maps in VR. Was actually really beneficial when we were house hunting remotely. Essentially able to walk up and down streets to see and get a feel for the neighborhood was really cool. I had an idea of adopting that for real estate. If the realtor had a 360 camera which most are already doing youd be able to tour the house like you were really in it. But I figured someone is already light years ahead of me on developing it and I would have no idea where to start anyway.

    Also, no one has yet made a great VR game that has gotten the general public super excited, so again, it is just a product that stays on the fringes of society and costs a ton of money

    Wouldn’t be the first time Apple came late to market with something at a crazy premium price and then dominated/drove the industry.

    I may officially be too old for this shit to care much anymore personally, but it will be interesting to see what follows.

    The issue is the VR/AR segment is already incredibly small and they came out with a product that is 10x the price of the best seller.

    While other Apple products are premium prices, I’m not sure of another one that is 10x

    Yeah that’s fair. I guess I’m saying the segment needs Apple to bring it mainstream. But that isn’t happening at 3.5k. Maybe when the Vision SE comes out?

    Both of these are wrong imo. There are plenty of great games. I could (and have) play VR ping pong for hours, it's crazy how natural it feels. My brother who hasn't played a video game in ~15 years loved it.
    An xbox or ps5 is what $500 with $70 games. Oculus $300 with games probably averaging $20.

    Their biggest issue is very few people have ever even tried it. Most won't do it at some public paid thing so their only chance to try it is knowing someone who has one.

    2 Job Simulator
    3 SUPERHOT VR


    you are right. they've done it. definitely created a game with similar hype such as bioshock / fifa / zelda / halo / call of duty / diablo / elden ring with this JOB SIMULATOR game

    People forget the first iPhone iPad and Watch were not lower priced, mass market high volume products (hell, the watch was still barely usable until a couple years ago and was still the entire product category). This is about Apple laying down a gauntlet in the space and pulling all the development onto their platform and to own that space completely.

    Google pays Apple upwards of $20 billion annually just to be the default search engine on iPhone

    iOS alone is 2/3rds of mobile app store spend globally

    they just need a flagship beachhead product in the space to nuke facebook and anyone else out of the water, pull all the developers over, give them a few years to build all the killer apps, and then release cheaper mass produced headsets once there’s a healthy app environment

    Beat Saber is a spectacular experience in VR and works well in a small gathering where you can trade off every couple of songs. I don’t like being in a headset for more than 10 minutes at a time and that’s basically 2-3 songs on there.

    I would probably spend a little longer in a headset with AR since I think that’s naturally less claustrophobic with an ability to see your surroundings but this VisionPro thing is still super niche.

    I’m interested in what they showed of the NBA court view thing if it’ll allow us to watch a game with a view of the entire court or field like we’re a blimp. Give me that for Premier League and I might consider a more refined version of this down the road.
