No, it's not, it's the same terrible, clunky VR we've had for a decade.
I wanted the dystopian always on AR experience that overlays directly with the world around you. It would've been scary, but at least useful and interesting.
This is going to flop the same way all other VR attempts have flopped.
You have to get two, but don’t think about giving your partner a kiss… you will bump into each others glasses…
I think they explained why this thing won't really take off in the demo. It's the best 3D movie experience, but it's not. 3D has come and gone once a decade for the last ~30 years. People don't want 3D TV's because they don't want to watch TV alone, or sit around in a group wearing doofy glasses.
This might be better than a 3D TV, but the glasses are far, far more cumbersome, it's not happening.
I won't even start on that clip of that dad watching his kids through a big plastic headset. No.
Really cool tech, but this is not the next iPhone. 1% as many people will use this unless its form changes dramatically.
Don't get me wrong, AR and VR have really cool applications, but the way MS markets Hololens seems far more realistic.

Yeah. There's some interesting things there but it's far from ready for mass adoption, much father that the original iPhone was IMO. For starters, it needs to be self-contained (no tether) and get at least 4 hours of battery life. And that's probably 3-5 years away.
damn you Apple, I hate it that I want it, thank god I can't afford it.......I have no need at all for it, but come on.......it's a fantastic start to the next best thing.
It connects to your colon, per rectum. You don't need a battery. That's why you need to surround yourself with these flower petals and be like: *happy thoughts, happy thoughts*
I struggling to see the use case outside design and healthcare but it isn’t like Microsoft has sold loads of HoloLens’ to that market despite being a similar product and targeting the business market
This is nothing but a toy. Apple isn't the company for me anymore.
Well, Disney's demo is better than Apple's. That wasn't on my bingo card.
I think we will get use to people using this. (It will take awhile to be fair.)
I said the same thing with Airpods, they look stupid when introduced but we are so use to them now.
i don't know the price, can’t justify it yet but I bet I will start to see these being used on passenger airlines in the next couple of years.

Until they announce the $15.99 a month subscription model and all of the shareholders will glow with glee.
I’m not in the VR space, for those with negative comments, what are you expecting and who is doing it better?
I would not have expected to be interested in something like this, but the dynamic monitor resizing element is dope.

They are really emphasizing content delivery....the very least interesting thing that can be done. We have TVs...they work great. This is inferior to them in most ways. The cool stuff this can do is so much more but it will take time to get the software and infrastructure in place I guess.
I know you’re joking but imagine if tens of millions of people worldwide of all ages are dying to get their hands on a VR headset lol.
The court view replay in basketball looked pretty insane I have to admit
Neither can I, but I'd expect maybe a future iPhone (15 pro?) will be able to capture these movies...
I can see few Trolls, who will be the first in line to buy this products.
The danger now is will we live with Vision Pro (or similar devices) on our head constantly, like we constantly are on our phone now? Will we detach ourselves from the real world?

It does block vision. The "see-through" is via cameras.
