Apple Reveals 'Vision Pro' Headset and visionOS

[ccsicecoke]

6x Apple Studio Display = $9000

Since this is more than 6x Studio display, $3500 def worth it

 

[anshuvorty]

the only use case I see is for work and on the airplane...why would you ever want to use it with your family? just take it off....I mean they had a whole section with the Doctor that said that myopia is caused by screens and you need to distance yourself from screens and yet apple announces a headset that sits literally in front of your face....

Hope the Vision Air for peasants is more wallet friendly

 

[Greg.]

Meta stock -1% since this headset was announced. Apple has killed Facebook again

This seriously looks like a "solution" looking—desperately—for a problem.

Like 3D TV’s were

 

[dead flag blues]

Totally the wrong music for the ad.

Supertramp is always wrong.

Black mirror episode..

 

[meltman]

I bet there is no calculator

 

[dazzer21-2]

Going to be funny on group video calls when everyone is wearing what appears to be diving mask!

 

[alex2792]

$3,500 for that? LMAO

 

[WilliamG]

thats not gonna fare well on the plane though, if you arent on one that has AC ports

Having a movie theater in sky would be awesome tbh

Most longhaul flights have plugs, - at least ones I've flown (USA to UK/Europe etc).

You could take your 4 person family to the real Disney World for 5 days for $3499.

And ride 3 rides.

 

[deaglecat]

This is a dud. I laughed out loud twice during this presentation (the creepy eyes and swimming mask vibe)... and that price. Bonkers.

It looked hideous in that ad. And that’s Apple presenting it in the best way they could.

This is a disaster product.

 

[contacos]

Cool but does it actually exist yet? Everything seemed made up like one of those futuristic car commercials

 

[User 6502]

So it’s even more outrageously expensive than what the rumours were suggesting and it has even less purpose, vision and direction. And the artistic renderings were better looking than the real thing.

 

[LeeW]

Holy mother of rocketing sales of Kidneys at that price.

 

[MacFan782040]

$3,499… phew! $3,500 was a deal breaker for me.

I gotta say, Apple knows how to make a presentation.

The Bob Iger participation was a stick in the eye to Ron DeSantis.

Question: If I’m on a call with the goggles on, what do the other people see?

They went over this. It's a avatar-like version of yourself.

 

[n19htmare]

As soon as price was announced. About sums it up.

 

[caliguy]

Buy a projector for $3500 and people will like you and join you. Or buy this and consume media by yourself.

 

[DogHouseDub]

$3499 and not available until next year! That gives me a year to save for it!

 

[nfl46]

It comes out to around $3,800 with tax for me. I'll start putting away money to buy it next year.

 

[uller6]

I selfishly want this to fail miserably. I don't want to live in a dystopic hell hole where people don't have contact with each other and all live in isolated virtual bubbles controlled by multi-trillion dollar companies. Technology should improve our lives, not control it. I feel is this is taking it too far.

I also don't understand why people want to so badly live in these virtual worlds. You can only use 2 senses in VR/AR - Seeing and hearing. You can't feel a Memoji, you can't taste any virtual foods and you can't smell the virtual worlds.

So much this!

 

[Delgibbons]

I fully hope that it is. Since it can be used to display a "mac" display, perhaps there's a pathway to this.

Yeah with virtual desktop Wi-Fi VR on the Quest 2 it’s the PC doing the heavy lift game rendering so I’m certain it will be possible on this too, if someone figures it out .
