Apple Reveals 'Vision Pro' Headset and visionOS

I'm very excited about the possibilities this has for the disabled. Imagine being able to visit places you never would be able to w/o this and in such clarity, or to just learn something new. Imagine seeing your grandchildren playing in 3D! Yes, it's premium now but they're just starting to scratch the surface.
That contradicts Apple's vision that people MUST BE IN OFFICE NOW!!!!
You can order it with prescription lenses that pop in magnetically.
Yes, this is not likely to be targeted at people walking on a downtown sidewalk or surfing or climbing a mountain. This is for the kinds of scenarios that they presented in the keynote: home, office, studio and other places where you might use a laptop now. It’s clear that no one has the tech for full AR sunglasses or contact lenses. That is going to take just a little bit more time to develop. In the meantime, this looks really interesting and something I could see myself using if only for that virtual screen.
Is it early or is it late? Comments seem to be all over the place on that topic. I’d say it arrives when it arrives and we’ll find the uses that meet our needs.
And see him in a virtual, not even life-like animations avatar? People really what this? In-person collaboration is just dead I guess.
At least not in its current state. 2 hour battery life, gigantic wire, massive size and weight, active cooling. It's a clear rush to launch.
Maybe as a pair of glasses.
Many if not MOST of the evolution of video technology and in the early internet days has come from THAT industry…ability to process credit cards, animated GIF, video compression and decompression, streaming evolution, camera integrations, the list goes on. And, it essentially launched the home video market, bringing about the ORIGINAL format wars - Beta vs. VHS, and created an entire industry of VHS video rental stores in the process. Not condoning, just commenting.
I thought it looked... fine. Gotta do something and it looked better than having that whole thing on your face.
well, the point is, a 3.5k laptop is used every day for hours.
this device isn't. there is a lot of talk, but in the end it is rather unlikely that this device will be a game changer. not with the low numbers this will sell for sure. people will play a game, but they will not wear this for hours and use it for work, video calls, watching photos and movies, etc. Professionally such devices are used for events to show some immersive application. A quest 2 sells at $350, the Vision Pro for 10 times! more. I wouldn't bet on a Vision Pro 2 or 3, they might never come.
It looked quite horrible. I am forgiving with a lot of stuff and even one second after they showed it I just shook my head how horrible it looked. Mouth movements were just atrocious.
Almost like everyone staring at individual little screens?
It looks like they did take that isolation into account with the face projection to let people know what mode you’re in and with bringing the real work into your vision when other people walk in. I expect the audio to use that new dynamic audio that suppresses noise but can bring in conversations as they happen. Did you miss the people in the video interacting with each other?
You’ve probably been around the Apple space long enough to know that Apple doesn’t release everything ALL at once?
This thing will come out in 2024, and by 2026 they will release a $2400 GLOVE to go along with it and enable all that extra stuff. ;-)
OMG, that OTHER industry is going to go CRAZY for the Glove attachment!
Just off the top of my head (there are many more examples I'm sure), Apple's Mac Pro, Studio and Mini desktop and Pro laptop customer base contains a significant, disproportionately high percentage (compared to Windows) of creative professionals - like digital video colorists, video editors, motion graphic designers, post production FX specialists and audio mixing engineers. Many of whom are increasingly part of the freelance gig economy and working independently. Very often, many of these disciplines require specialist, physical hardware controllers and input devices. We'll see glimpses of VisionOS versions of Final Cut Pro and Logic Pro X, DaVinci Resolve and Adobe applications in the lead up to the launch which will inspire a lot of that customer base. At $3500 the Vision Pro will not only offer the potential for creative professionals like this to save money on physical monitor screens and hardware controllers and input devices, it will also open up entirely new work flows and techniques that have never been possible previously.

That’s just simple find my integration with a geo fence about .5 mile around the house, so we’re already there
So many people are saying there is no use case, but in sci-fi movies this kind of AR appears all the time, albeit without a visor, just projected/floating in the air. But as I understand it, if you had a group of people in a meeting going over designs or battle plans or the like and they were all wearing these, then they could all interact with the virtual plans while still seeing and interacting with one another. And if these things shrink to regular glasses in a few years, then surely this would be advantageous?
Likely Apple Vision is the consumer product coming out in a year or so.
It's possible or maybe even likely that you would be able to plug it in to the usb power ports on most airline seats.
It’s not just about tactile feedback. If they can use cameras to track our arms, hands and fingers using depth sensors and make it so we can literally click on a button with our own fingers or pinching to zoom a 3D window to resize it, it would already be a much better implementation. I know this is impractical by today’s standards, but we do have the foundation to built this technology. I feel like they could’ve spent another 5 years trying to implement something like this and if it was successful I think even my grandma would want one of these for Christmas.

It’s interesting how hyped people on here are (including myself) and more mainstream website commenters don’t understand it.
This is exactly what Apple needs. The first few % to early adopt and espouse the benefits to the mainstream early adopters. That’s how you build mass market products. No mass market product in a new category successfully targeted the middle/late adopters first.
