What do you think about Apple's new headset?

by
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.

I love it so much! I like to remember what we thought about the iPhone when it first released: too expensive. And now look at our world. We've witnessed AI and Apple Glasses in the same year ! I'll surely remember this one.

@laura_pinne it definitely has a "I'm plugged into the matrix rn, do not disturb!" vibe

I think it's a game-changer! But I would like to test it, because with other helmets (oculus or PS VR) I got nauseous after some time, if Apple fixes this issue, I think I need to start saving from now... Also, I'm curious about battery life...

I have 2 ways how I can imagen using it. 1st is to extend my Macbook Pro and work on 2-3 monitor mods and the 2nd is to watch movies. Both cases when I'm not at home. But right now I couldn't imagine myself wearing a VR headset in the coffee shop.

Great question. I imagine it will take a long time for these to become normalized into society beyond gaming. Also, I just read this about Apple's new proprietary R1 chip and how it is intended to reduce motion sickness. https://techcrunch.com/2023/06/0... I don't understand how it would help.

Great very expensive first release. Excited to see it get smaller and better.

After watching WWDC23, going back to work on my computer I was like: "damn, a laptop with a 2D screen looks boring now" ahah. It's a game changer. Apple is making laptop / desktop obsolete basically, moving the digital from 2D to 3D aka 'spatial'. Most people compare it with Oculus, or any other VR headset. Apple provides both the device, and create a whole new environment for it - what other players can't do, having either the hardware (Quest) or the vision (Meta). It's not comparable to iPad, iWatch, or anything - it's a brand new line of product that might even replace laptops. Of course it's not gonna happen in a year time, like the iPhone was not as popular as of now when it has first been launched. But I deeply believed they just created something transformative, looking forward to see where it brings us 👀

😮 It's like stepping into a whole new dimension of technology and immersing yourself in a mind-bending experience. But let's be real, price-wise, it's definitely on the expensive side. And not everyone might be ready to dive into this VR reality just yet. Let's see how it unfolds!

@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.
