achilles Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Seems like the previous thread did not survive the transition. I couldn't find it. Mods please do your thing if I've missed it. Thoughts on the Vision Pro, in no particular order. 1. Not a great name 2. Seems kinda dorky 3. Seems to offer amazing experiences, that aren't possible on any other device. 4. Seems like the pinnacle of Apple engineering 5. Not sure if Jobs would've gone there, seems unlikely, but he's dead. 6. Way more compelling than when the Apple Watch launched, even though the watch was a lot more affordable. 7. The wife saw the video and was immediately intrigued. When she saw the cinema screen in a lakeside setting, she immediately wanted one. "I'm not getting on a flight without that now" 8. This is a stoner's/meditator's paradise. 9. Manipulating air by hand and selections with eye movements: that's Tony Stark sh*t. 10. Price: A large, static, state-of-the-art OLED TV can cost as much, or close to it. That TV stays in your room, on a wall. It can't be in an infinite expanse of any setting you please, and it can't be a theatre. Set the TV up properly with lighting, hue play etc. and that's another lakh or so right there. The Vision Pro can do this and a lot more, plus it goes with you on the plane. Plus: Spatial audio with real-world ray tracing! On the other hand, it can't accommodate external signals like from a PS5. Yet. I mean, look at this: I'd buy it just for this. The best projector in the world can't give you this right now. And they readily go over $20000. Imagine watching sports on that thing, like you're in the goddamn stadium, but better, because you'll have the umpire's "seat", or the driver's seat, or damn near any space in the arena. The possibilities are near endless, and I'm excited. To me, the implications are a little more profound, and psychological. The Vision Pro represents a proper shift on interactions. Would you wear this with multiple people in the room, like at home? Seems unlikely. So it is more of an individual piece with a higher isolating effect than any device previously available, which, it seems, humans are glued to regardless. In that sense, does it create a higher gap between real humans going forward? Or does it improve upon our "reality" in ways that makes us more productive and enables us in ways we can't yet imagine. Right now, I really really just want to try one. Edited June 6, 2023 by achilles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VelivolusDas Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Two funny (but typically Apple) names that I saw yesterday: - NameDrop - EyeSight I mean... About the Vision Pro: It needs a tremendous amount of app/dev support for it to succeed. I don't know if it's clear whether game developers can just get their Meta or PSVR2 games ported to Vision Pro without much of a hassle. I have a feeling Apple will want to make things as easy for them as possible. I know the 'Apple' name carries credence and there's a certain crowd (from the mass market) that I'm sure will be ready to fork up the $3499 price simply because this is a brand new iProduct. Edit: I wonder how much of yesterday's showcase wasn't with "Simulated Sequences"? I agree that some of the applications shown were truly exhilarating to watch. But, I doubt it'll be so flawless in the real world usage. Also, the battery pack provides a 2-hour backup, but they said something about being "plugged in." What was that about?

Bird Bird Bird Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 Super isolating stuff. As great the tech is, I'm not a fan. No human touch (twss). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 These all look cool in demo but actual use cases are not much. Remember, Google glasses died for a reason. I don't think people will be doing Yoga wearing these as advertised as the very idea is ironic! Recording to live the moment again as pointed by others may just be a miss as no one would celebrate birthdays with this on! It maybe useful for recordings where things are exactly like before as recorded and you see it in future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sach4life Posted June 6, 2023 Report Share Posted June 6, 2023 This thing is hillariously pointless. 2 hour battery life (with battery hanging out lol) makes it pointless for watching content. Facetime feature is stupid. Whole point of actually doing video call with someone is to actually see that person, not their avatar. Use case of the father wearing this at his son's bday was just sad. Moreover, this thing is made of metal. Build quality is good but it is heavy making it uncomfortable for longer periods anyway. Moreover, a starting price of 3500 lol.

I agree with his analysis. Apple got it out early even with its flaws to ensure app development starts asap. This thing will be viable 5-10 years from now as a replacement for the phone. This is a long term game. I totally see a device like this - maybe in a different format - as a common tool within a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
