Apple Explains How to Get Ready for Vision Pro Pre-Orders Next Week

[Lioness~]

This is an "interesting" take.

I'm sure Apple have heard about progressive lenses. I certainly have (I wearing a pair right now as I tap out this reply), and even a dunce like me realises why they are completely irrelevant to a VR headset.

/edit

Of course the irony - regarding your observation - on my not needing to rely on my progressive lenses when using the Apple Vision Pro is not lost on me, and nor I suspect is it lost on the majority of - if I may be so bold as to make the completely unintended pun - readers.

VR/AR headsets have certainly been around for a while, but Apple’s decision to replace the user’s eyeglasses with integral corrective lenses apparently offers an improved visual experience that they deemed worth the added hassle for them and for the consumers.

If by progressive lenses you mean lenses that provide an area for distance vision, reading vision, and an area that blends the two, then yes, even the CEO, age 63, is aware of them. If you are referring different technology, I am certain that Apple is aware of it as well.

[For all we know, something vastly improved is in the works, but Apple wants the software development to move forward while the hardware catches up, regardless of the inconvenience.]

I get the points guys. I’ve been into Apple a looong time.
Of course Apple have to get into the game when they think it’s the right time for them. It doesn’t necessarily means that it’s the right timing for all Apple buyers.
That’s why the big fruit company have a few variations of products, to please different customers.
I much rather want a small MBA, preferable smalller then the 13" I have now then a scuba on my face.
An 11" MBA would make me hilariously excited 😆

For that price Apple Care better come with it!

LoL no?

 

[EllieCat]

I’m gonna wait until it gets cheaper. Just too expensive on release date. 😔

Everyone says it’ll get cheaper, but if it’s a hot sales success Apple will likely keep the price high and just add improvements and new features. The only way the prices drop substantially is if it’s a poor seller. People are very excited about it and the average Apple customer has a lot of disposable income so I think they will gauge sales first before any pricing change happens. People said iPhones wouldn’t sell once they went over $1000, but they just keep selling better the higher the price goes.

There are rumors that Apple is working on a cheaper version with less features. After all, this one is the "Apple Vision Pro"...perhaps the cheaper version will just be "Apple Vision".

When people first started to wear headphones in their ears listening to music, acting like they walking in the clouds the use of headphones while walking in the street led to a dramatic rise in the number of injuries back then. The same occurred later on with iPhones with numerous examples showing people falling to holes, tripping, walking in front of traffic and so on. A AR/VR headset with wrap around limiting vision and impairing hearing from external surround area is worse. You could get bumped on the head just to get those Vision Pros if walking down a street.

I don't know if a particular naming fits, but some are almost called bots because of how they act around normal outdoors activity.

I'm only going to use mine in public. Mostly while walking across busy streets and while driving. /s

I’m thinking even the thieves will be crossing to the other side of the street when they see you coming.

Do you think Apple is lying about it being ZEISS? Do you think the people crafting the lenses are going to be my man Craig and not the same highly trained people who always do it?

I think the prescription matters more than whatever machinery makes the lenses in China and what brand is stamped on them. And their prescription documentation leads me to believe they have no idea what they're talking about so they're pushing the brand.

There's functionally no difference between an App window floating in space and a virtual monitor floating in space. I think some people are trying to confuse the issue with less than noble thoughts in mind. Trying to create drama and confusion where none exists.

Here's a screen shot from the intro video, showing 3 "windows" or "monitors."

Can you tell me which is which? Or what the functional difference is?

i heard from Verge that you only work with one active window
