Yep. Even Brian Tong in his otherwise enthusiastic review repeated that it becomes uncomfortable after about half an hour and he doesn’t like to wear it for longer than 45 minutes.
you think putting one on is gonna change the fact that it’s ugly, it’s dorky, it doesn’t do anything, and the price is absurd? lol
Hiding cable and external battery like they did with the notch in promotional materials.
this makes me think of the people who are drawing parallels between this thing and the negative reviews of the iphone when it first came out. imagine if using an iphone made your hands hurt after like 30 minutes. if that was the case, they wouldn’t still be around today lol
Apple doesn’t enter categories and lose anymore. They enter categories and define or shift. Apple Watch was the keep-your-phone-in-your-pocket device until it became the wellness device.
My fear is for the pressures of profit on what gets developed. My grand hope is that enough educational institutions see value personally and develop for themselves chemistry and biology and physics and… and end up releasing it in cheap enough forms that they can thrive.
I believe subscription models and high pricing will be the two routes to actually thrive. My near-term hope is that we at least get some killer MMO/ open world immersive game that enters the zeitgeist and guarantees it as a must-have to gamers.
What’ll actually become popular is so unknown. Emoji world? Clash of clans in the living room? My fears are great for weird paths this could take, but long term I hope it thrives no matter the ground floor

I was also thinking about how they were dealing witht eh notch in marketing material.
That external display looks so dumb (or in some cases broken) and probably added an entire cost of a Quest into this thing. I get that's one of the only gimmicks to make this seem different than other displays but when it's that broken...
Dude what zoo offers this where I can hug it and the gorilla doesn't hurtle me across their enclosure?
actually porn, like most things, is BEST shared
try it, your significant other might thank you but at least now I am starting to understand the fear of admitting sometimes isolation aint a bad thing lol . no, not me, never do that...
Tim looks good wearing Vision Pro.
The iPad on his desk, I really hope that isn't the new iPad Pro with landscape camera. The true Pro iPad is held in portrait orientation and used with Apple Pencil. Research has shown cursive writing (e.g. use Pencil) is much better for the brain compared to using a keyboard. Essentially, keyboards are for zombies.

actually some of us remember when MR was a place to learn about a product, not read worthless opinions. the same people that decry apple as being a status symbol now will deride a product because it doesn't look 'cool.' either way I don't come away feeling any richer, I'ver learned nothing about the product. and thats why I come here. Specifically I was curious before I ordered one about any technical information surrounding the APV. But we have become a culture where opinions apparently mean more than facts.
Cook doesn't hold a candle to Jobs when it comes to marketing. Jobs was a showman, charismatic, and funny. Cook drones on monotonously and takes things too seriously. Remember the original iPhone keynote when Jobs teased that the new iPhone was just an iPod with a phone dial on it? Or how about "and boy have we patented it!" Has Cook ever done anything nearly as funny or entertaining as Jobs? Possibly the most important keynote in Apple's history and Steve still managed to keep it entertaining without taking things too seriously. There's a reason keynotes went from Jobs doing the heavy lifting to other execs taking up a good chunk of the time under Cook. It's because he's boring while watching Jobs present was watching a free masterclass. The closest person to Jobs' skill at presenting that they have these days is Craig Federighi. He does a decent presentation, but I don't think anyone will ever touch Jobs in that regard.

"When a Wise Man Points at the Moon, The Fool Looks at the Finger." What is not clear to so many commenters is that this is just the very first of a new generation of devices that in the next future will lead us to smart glasses and again later perhaps to something like contact lenses. To criticize it today (among other things without ever having tried it) is very easy but completely short-sighted in my opinion.
You're inventing your own reality. MacRumors, and sites like it, were about rumors and conjecture. As a result, the front page articles have always been a bit of give and take, debate about the veracity of given rumors, and the form that future products would take, their strengths and weaknesses.
The forums are different. There's debate going on in there too, like anywhere on the internet, but a lot more of it is informational and help-based.
