Augmented Reality glasses can look like that, but Virtual or Mixed Reality can't.
And how does one Clean it? You’re gonna sweat into this thing with workout apps
I guess the article should have also included "• Care and cleaning instructions" to the list but MR probably figured that went without saying.
You can’t clean fabric all the time. They’re still gonna need silicon at some point. Meta was forced to include it later on.
I can more easily clean synthetic fabrics than natural fabrics.
At some point Apple may have a Silicon version of those parts, or have Silicon covering the part that touches your skin; those will probably be released when they integrate Fitness+ features.
Regardless, care and cleaning instructions will be in the manual, but it's silly to think that Apple didn't anticipate how to clean something which it intends to always touch your skin.
You’re nearsighted already. That means you see things up close without assistance. That’s why you “lift” your glasses off. So you won’t need lens assistance with Vision Pro if it’s the same distance as the things you read. But if it’s closer than that, just order the right lenses.
After initial supporters get it, I can see this being DOA. $3500 for a glorifed VR headset is laughable.
Stopped being funny to you. But the cost is still there. Regardless of how you feel about it the basis of the joke being its cost still exists.
The average consumer can not afford this product, will not afford this product period. It doesn’t change the fact it’s a good or bad product. It just points out the absurdity of a product launch at a time of economic uncertainty. Apple is raising prices across the board. And investors are starting to take notice that this practice is hurting shareholders.
Apple can’t continue to gate keep its products behind absurd prices and expect to maintain market share.
You make the point most people’s vacations cost more than their monthly rent or mortgage.
Well I hate to break it to you, but the middle class isn’t going on vacations like they use to. They can’t afford to.
Does anyone know if:
1) when sitting at a desk, it is necessary to place your hands on the desk instead of in your lap?
2) there will be any integration with voice control? For example: "Draw a rectangle with sides of five inches by eight inches by two inches. Good. Now make the longest side red."
3) if the user must be looking straight ahead at close to a ninety degree angle with the floor? Or, can the user recline and still perceive the working "stage" at ninety degrees from the floor?

1) There is demo video of a woman with hand in lap...
Hands should be able to be anywhere that the cameras can "see" them. And unlike the pessimists slinging concepts of having to "flail"-to-wildly flail entire arms/bodies/and get other people to help flail too, the video shows the woman just barely moving her hands to control the UI in that way.
2) There is apparently some level of voice control...
If that's Siri as we know it (and the video references Siri by name), I doubt you can draw your red-sided rectangle with specific measurements as in your example (but Siri will find what the web has to offer on ("I don't know what you mean by") rectangles
). If voice control is better than Siri (or a much improved Siri), then maybe. While I lean positive on the product as a whole, my guess is that it will be same Siri . But someone else could guess that it's Starship Enterprise Computer Voice Control or Jarvis from the Iron Man movies and have towards as much chance at being right. TBD.
3) Since the device can replace your entire view with something that looks the same as reality, you should be able to hang upside down if you wish and still see a "level" orientation if you desire it. Best I can tell from demos, it is not locked to some kind of orientation to match the natural world. I speculate there is probably some way for it to do that for AR applications where you see some overlay graphics on the real world... but full VR that is displaying all you can see probably doesn't lock orientation like that.
You could somewhat fake this now but starting a movie on an iPad (lock orientation) and holding it as close to your face as possible (while still seeing the picture). Now lay down but keep the iPad aligned. Roll onto your side but keep the iPad aligned. Hang upside down and keep the iPad aligned. In all positions, what your eyes are seeing remains the same view. I suspect Vpro will have "lock orientation" if that's not just how VR views work automatically. Again, best guess. TBD.

I am so curious about the same thing, and I've seen so many conflicting answers about it I'm not really sure what to believe. Like I understand the focal distance isn't "up close". But the screens are still only a couple of inches or whatever away. I wear contacts, but just like you I need readers when wearing contacts, or need to remove my regular glasses when not wearing contacts to see up close.
No idea at this point but I THINK I would need:
A) Reader lenses, which would need to be removed when NOT wearing contacts, which would mean:
B) I'd need nearsighted lenses for the times I'm not wearing said contacts
The idea of needing multiple lens types and needing to swap them based on if it's daytime and I'm wearing contacts or just hanging out at home in the evening and wearing glasses is a little off-putting. I'm betting this issue becomes VERY confusing for your average consumer once whatever version of Vision hits the mainstream.
I had no real intention of buying the first gen of these, but am definitely interested. I'm super curious to see how the reviews go once people get these in their hands.
Apple is exploring ways for longer battery life. Here a prototype Vision Pro Max with 300000000 mAh providing a whopping 8 hours battery life on as single charge
Very heavy battery that's why the consumer has to wear a look-like astronaut costume

Yeah. I think the iPhone was an incredible product, and perhaps the most successful of all time. To me this Vision product seems even bigger than the iPhone, and by that I don't mean it'll sell as many units as quickly. But it seems like it has larger implications for how the world will change in the long term.
It will sale but will Apple drop the price fast enough for mass production? Alternatively, come out with a lower end model (ie. SE) for the masses?!

Whether it's the current AVP, or a future lower end AVP, it will be priced at roughly 40% (GPM) over COGS (cost of goods sold).
This has got big profit signs written all over it. Constantly been reported we're only looking @ a few hundred thousand units at launch with all those being in the US.
For any foreigners willing to take the gamble and have a US trip planned in the next month or 2. Bringing it back to Europe for example would likely result in a massive profit as I'd imagine the number of the VR headsets outside the US would be a very small figure for atleast the next 6months.
Obviously alternatively, people are willing to sit on it unsealed for a decade or 2 resulting in likely an even higher sale value.
