What do you think about Apple's new headset?

Apple finally dropped the rumoured headset it's been working on at yesterday's WWDC. It's called the Vision Pro and it will sell for just about $3500. I thought it looked super impressive at the event, but it seems like the ship has kind of sailed in the whole virtual / augmented headset especially if you're entering at that price point, I'm probably wrong though.

@aaronoleary I think that starting a discussion is a much better place to celebrate apples headset reveal over launching a brand new product. Overall I don’t know who they are targeting at such a price point, maybe researchers and universities.

Being a gen 0 product and comparing it to the gen 0 iphone, I can imagine this being their flagship product the next decade.

I did a short post on this on linked in. It's not aimed at the mass market nor retail at a $3500 price tag https://www.linkedin.com/posts/a...

I don't think you are wrong. At this price point, it may not work out at scale.

@ketan_pandit1 it's not just the price it's the HMD form factor that's the problem. People don't even like to wear regular glasses and headphones.

@harrison_gross that's true.

I'm really hoping that future iterations will take a Mac-like approach to meeting different technical needs and pricepoints (Mini, Pro, Studio etc.). Also really hoping that it lives up to the claims that the R1 chip will tackle motion sickness, that's one of the biggest blockers for me with the original Quest I've got, I get the worst headaches 🫠

To be honest, I didn`t like the design of the device, it does not seem to me "ahead of its time", although usually Apple surprises us with the design of its new products. however, I believe that the next generations of it will be much more advanced

I think it's beautiful. I just don't think I'd use it. I have an oculus for 2 years now and I've used it a total of 5 times.

I think its still too early for AR/VR. I do not want to walk around like a Robocop

I would like to see some research on how it would impact to our eyes/vision. More harmful than digital screens or less, not sure yet).

Scariest technology I've ever seen. Looks like we are very close to things happening in Black Mirror.
