I notice that in the presentation the device can easily track gestures even when the hands are relaxed on the thighs. I am concerned that it will think I have 3 hands and get confused as to which ones to track. And what happens if one of my hands keeps overlapping and moving back and forth on one of the hands?
Even though I have hand tracking turned on, there are never unintended hand gestures in the Quest 2, because it's kind of dumb and you have to put your hands in front of you and be very deliberate about gestures, whereas my hands are usually much, much lower when I use the device for my daily cardio.
On the other hand, the clear front or AR aspect is a distinct advantage over the Quest for when you need to grab tissues and such.

As a Quest Pro user, I loved it but will wait for the cheaper version.
Did you even watch the presentation? What you described is exactly what Vision Pro is capable of.
I'm super impressed by (and not surprised by) Apple's thoughtfulness about the EyeSight feature that allows those on the outside of the headset have a more natural interaction with the wearer. Doesn't that alone set this headset apart from all previous attempts? The awkwardness of being in the same space as someone wearing a VR headset goes away instantly with that feature.
I think it is cute that you think most gamers are in their 20s.
I think both those examples are thinking too much inside the box. They’re talking about a new form of computing all together.
My neck says, umm, not. My wallet says, definitely nope, but it’s a good first step and showing that Apple still can surprise us with innovations.
This is a great product. I am not going to get most likely but I see where it is going - straight to the future. Negative reactions here are rather proximal and are akin the reception of the first iPhone and iPad. Well, time will put everything in its place. Great job, Apple!
I don't even think we did anything that terribly luxurious. We stayed at a Disney property, and that was by far the most expensive element of the trip, but even just park passes for 3 days, and then a day at Typhoon Lagoon ended up being almost $1500. Add in meals, drinks, things kids want to buy, etc. It's going to cost a lot more than $3500. While we had a great time, and we recognize that we're quite fortunate to be able to do this, it really feels like Disney isn't even accessible by the middle class anymore.
It does more than I expected but I’ll still struggle to justify it at that price point. A new iPad I can use daily for many years. I feel like the Vision Pro is going to be smaller/faster/cheaper in a short timeframe.
Yep it actually kinda reminds me of the first iPhone for some reason
I imagine most people will use it plugged in unless they are doing a gaming or fitness session. Unseated VR experiences are hard to keep up for more then 2 hours anyway.
I wanted a Memoji multiverse where I could become another MF

Since you’re not looking at the world directly but instead through cameras and a screen, this IS still VR for all practical purposes. AR is an overlay, not a window over a camera image projected on a screen that you stare at.
At first glance, Apple appears to have taken the already well known use cases for VR and done a very good job of them.
Is that why current VR headsets haven’t taken off?

Have you ever used a current VR headset? They’re genuinely dreadful. The Quest 2 has one of the jankiest UIs I’ve ever used. The hand controls require extremely exaggerated movements and still barely work. They’re awful.
$3500?
That's a LOT of crack you're smoking there Timmy....

What in the world are you talking about? There were AR features ALL over the place, more so than VR features.
These aren't age groups that generally are going to have $4000 (after tax) left for VR headsets after buying their gaming PC's and consoles. Not only that, no compelling games were announced.
