Still find it funny that they gave the iPhone and iPad "too close to your face" warnings, only to then release a Mixed Reality Headset.

Apple Reveals 'Vision Pro' Headset and visionOS

I wonder if this can this work with multiple headsets. Can you share or anchor a 3D model in place and someone else view it with you in their headset from I independent angles?
Cloud file sharing might allow something like that.
Certain members of the company I work for already view CAD models via iPad through SolidWorks E-Drawings. This is also used on computers but people aren’t generally walking around the building carrying devices for impromptu conversations. We were discussing the use of VR headsets to replace monitors and I was just outlining what a depressing solution that would be to a problem that doesn’t currently exist. I work in an open plan office and wouldn’t want to be confined to working with a headset, even if it offers a more immersive experience for certain things.
Another disappointment from Apple. Not ready for prime time, years away it. What has happened to Apple? Where is the innovation and problem solving? How about giving priority to improving existing Apple apps so they work as expected? The quality of Apple devices and apps are disappointing, need to change that.
It may not take up much of my space, yet it is less convenient than any of the mehods mentioned. It is hot, uncomfortable, creates skin issues, requires more frequent charging... It also isn't 200". It has the resolution of the Pro Display, which Apple thought should be 32" for perfect results.
It's also pretty concerning for folks who wear glasses. As someone who wears glasses, I'm not really sure how this thing can affect my vision in the long term. There's literally a display about one-inch far from my eyes, and I'm already myopic... 🙃
Seriously?
Most nursing homes barely spend the money to wash their residences bedsheets or whatever and you think they'll get these? and only one per nursing home?
Since it requires custom lenses for each prescription, how do you think they'll have to go about that since vision is often an issue as people get older.
What you described can be done with a headset that looks "just as good" for this application for 1/4 the price. This isn't the product for that.
I agree and I notice they changed it. All the models looked vaguely annoyed, and when they tried to smile it just looked forced and vaguely creepy.
Thanks for sharing. It's clearly not designed for you.
Yes, I have my hand, and if I want to animate or draw, I need a STABLE base for it. You know, like a desk. Or a drafting table. No, drawing with your hand in the air is not the way it's done. Exactly - have some imagination, how do you expect me to wiggle my arm mid air to draw for lets say 12 or 14 hours? It's not physically possible - or would be torment.
Remote surgery needs the operator at a microscope / camera feed with his hands operating the tools like micro/precision robot arms. noone will be attaching an AR headset to professional million+ dollar equipment when someone's life is on the line anytime soon. It's not in the same league of robustness to begin with. There's a reason why our NASA mission rockets were using intel 386/486 processors not so long ago (I dont know, maybe they still use them).
So yeah AR surgery for now remains in the realm of Tony Stark etc.
As for 3d modelling - I don't get it. You want to model like in clay, but in 3D environment? Why? If you want to do that, just model in clay. 3d Scanners are not very expensive these days. And you won't beat clay modelling with 3d AR clay modelling anytime soon (never).
To be more exact - it's designed for people who want to be able to enjoy their time off in their OS wallpaper. So yeah, it's designed for noone.
Huh. THis is the most vague argument one can use. "Magic". Ok, I can try it, but doing what exactly? As I said, I see no application. I dont care if it's cool to navigate my OS apps menu with eyes - it can be razor sharp, crisp image with almsot no delay, but what exactly will I open these apps for? I want to actually do / accomplish something with this thing right? I truly see no application. "Magical experience" - but doing what exactly? Anything I could use it for (movies, work) will be inferior to alternatives.
You know when you're hammered and hanging out with your friends and you say something that it sounds SO OBVIOUS and brilliant to you and everyone? That is until the next day when you're sober and you realize it was literally the dumbest thing you've possibly ever said.
Half of this thread is filled with ideas and predictions JUST like that.
This device, at it's launch prices has it's use and user base, but that is a VERY limited one. The Idea that this thing is going to surpass iPhones, or replace TVs and be everywhere and anywhere is just a one of "those" fanboyish, delusional ideas.
This is NOT the next iPod or the iPhone. This might as well be Steve's worst nightmare if he was still around and this came to the market.

Well, my older child is 16 today and it does not care. So fingers crossed for the younger one when that time comes
Wait, you're going to ding Apple for push a "massive" product that you don't think is feasible but you are buying in on neuralink and contacts? I've seen those... on SciFi shows but I'm not going to base my near term buying decisions on that.
Apple will evolve the Vision and right now, it looks like they are ahead of anyone else in getting to that SciFi future.
I've seen that behavior in abundance on this thread and others this week. Sad.
I have an iPhone and used Apple devices for years. I can afford this easily IF I wanted (or needed) one when released. I'm not sure what your point is here?
The "you're too poor" argument is so rampant on this discussion board, it's insane. Being critical of product's viability and it's implied value is not indicative of one's financial position.
Keep on flexin'............Bro.
yeah,
like how about ****ing fixing the god damn old ass messages in system log that have been there for a while
but they won't. it's insane. the idea "oh yeah you're not supposed to worry about what's in your log, that's normal" is the dumbest answer i've repeatedly read about issues like this. people don't want to accept the neglect of the fundamental products that define APPUL because, well, they like (probably 'are stuck with') the stock.
the amount of turd-polishing APPUL has done under Sino Chino ("they're not khakis, they're chinos" tim cook) is astounding. the innards of the OS have been neglected in the name of stringing along the casual technology "enthusiast" bag holders, many of whom are defending the device because their stock portfolio depends on it.
the operating system that people loved is now one people are afraid to update. i'm perfectly happy on mojave. and i was on yosemite until 2020, so make of that what you will.
It’s the compliment to the argument you also see a lot of here “$3500! Only rich people can afford that. What was Apple thinking!?” While ignoring that that is exactly the price of a 16” MBP with M2 Ultra, something that many people on this forum would buy.
They actually showed a few scenes of users interacting with others. So, the device is perfectly capable of allowing the user to interact with (and see) other people. Don’t be so naive. Very few people have had an opportunity to actually use it. Your opinion and most others is just speculation based off current headsets.
Experience it, then judge.
You laugh, but have you forgotten the retina introduction of the iPhone, and then the iPad? It was pushing the bleeding edge of mobile GPU performance at the time to push that many pixels.
I know it feels forever ago but it genuinely was a big deal in the industry that it was even possible to do at the time.
I didn’t say it wasn’t a big deal. But you’re saying we didn’t know we wanted it. It’s why I took back my iPhone 3G and switch to palm webos with its better screen among other things like much better multitasking.
Of course the iPhone 4 came along.
