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.

It's sharp-edged, mind-bending, way-future, out of this world.....and that's just the price.
I find the focus on making the eyes visible interesting. I believe it’s trying to solve the awkwardness of most headsets that is definitely hurting usability, and looking at it, it may just work.

This is way more intrusive than the ear buds and apple watch. I think adoption will be slow. Plus, the motion sickness is tough.

I’m optimistic about the future Apple is pushing us towards. I’m thinking of Vision Pro as a computer, not a headset. Yes, it sits on your head (right now), but I see it as something that will replace our phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops. I shared more thoughts here if anyone is interested: https://victorkernes.com/posts/a...

I'm impressed! Can't wait until it's available in Germany!

Personally I think apple has set a new bar for our expectations with VR/AR and this is something quite difficult to pull of. But the question that remains is what will be the future of our society with a product like this

Look like an amazing piece of hardware. Rather expensive to put it mildly. Would be keen to see if the OS is more akin to iPadOS or MacOS. The latter opens it up for typical business and potentially development use. Having access to a chrome based browser would also open up the use of WebXR applications. I fear it may be the former. Would love to try it out though.

love it, by far the most innovative product by apple!!

I think Apple’s headset is too expensive for a normal user to buy. $3500 pricing is like a Tesla early super car strategy. I guess maybe Apple’s strategy is to get the high-end market first, then use the profit to invade the lower-end?

Kinda expensive but looks like it would be pretty fun to use especially on an airplane
