This is too early, the applications are pretty cool, but this will be too expensive and if people got too self conscious about wearing 3D glasses this is never going to fly, which is a real shame.
"For the VisionPro, we decided to use the best energy source in the world, something each of us are born with. Our ass. That's right, the VisionPro plugs right into your ass. Who wants to deal with batteries? You have to keep spares on hand, find the chargers, plug them in. Yuck!"
I’m not sure if this is hilarious or terrifying… I think it might be both. My favourite feature so far is FaceTime but where nobody can see your face… Apple has developed the most over-complicated and impractical way possible to watch 2D content while looking like an idiot. This is what happens when you only hire yes-men… Apple really need somebody to tell them this whole endeavour is utterly ridiculous and is dead in the water. I’m sure a few people will buy this… but they definitely won’t continue to buy it.
This hardware is far more impressive than I expected.
That said, it feels like a jump-the-shark moment.

Always detractors and naysayers.
Will need a few iterations to refine. I could see many use-cases for the future.
Not for me, but these type of devices (this device?) could be ubiquitous in ten years. This is a 1.0 version of a device for the generations to come.

Lol idk if you people are being sarcastic here but this has literally 20% of Meta's headset capabilities and the rest is Apple's marketing in action. Meta has nothing to worry about with this cringe device.
Apple used to be revolutionary, now they're always behind. Competition is always good though

Soooo...where's the killer app?
Disney3d+ isn't it.
Apple Arcade games aren't it.
If you ever see me walking around in public wearing one of these, remind me of the glasshole comments I've made in the past.

I’m here for this. I mean the hand tracking on the Quest 2 is brilliant but this does look very good. Love the 3d camera idea. Not sure I have the money yet but give them a few years….I’m here for more VR advancement.
Apple today revealed the "Vision Pro" headset, its first mixed-reality headset device.
Vision Pro is Apple's first mixed-reality device, showing passthrough video of a wearer's eyes. The device features an all-new operating system that features a three dimensional interface. Experiences in Vision Pro aren't constrained to the boundaries of a display, users can make apps any scale, and place apps wherever they wish. Environments extend beyond your physical space, and control how immersed you are by turning the digital crown. Apple says that it marks the beginning of "spatial computing."
A Home view floats in the world in front of you to feel "truly present" in your room. Users use a combination of their eyes, hands, and voice to control the device. It uses eye tracking, and finger tapping and flicking to scroll or select.
The headset features passthrough video of a wearer's eyes in a feature that Apple calls "EyeSight," showing different feedback to surrounding people about what you are viewing inside the headset.
Vision Pro also allows users to connect to their Mac and expand its display in a virtual space, including alongside apps running on Vision Pro itself.
FaceTime on Vision Pro can display life-sized individuals over video calls. There is an optimized experience for viewing photos and videos. Vision Pro is also "Apple's first 3D camera," showing depth in video with Spatial Audio. The headset features a cinematic video viewing experience to scale the screen beyond the dimensions of your room.

Meta v Apple….round one…..FIGHT
I think this thread is worth a bookmark and a revisit in 5-7 years. There will be a lot of incorrect hottakes.
Similar to articles in 2007. Threads after the Apple Watch announcement, etc.
This is laying the groundwork for something big. Think glasses in 5-7 years that you wear most of the day. Items you look at at the store will have reviews pop up, HUD while driving, Health information while working out, the ability to zoom with your eyes, etc etc.

They wheeled out the new Jony Ive to talk design 😂😂😂😂😂
Compare your iPhone 14 Pro Max to the original iPhone. Still pretty glad that I bought the original iPhone.
Can't wait to buy this. Looks like it will be a hoot.
I'm betting the fifth one that I buy will be unbelievable.

You will likely regret this. This thing is going to sell really well even at a high price.
