I still love my VP no matter what. I just hope someday the media player like VLC can have visionOS version.
"SIGH". I weirdly used to be a fan. F*CK Zuckerberg. Have a joyous morning/evening/night wherever the forum members are.
Clearly Apple shills on YouTube and other platforms.
How in the hell do these “content creators”, I mean Apple shills, say that the Meta Quest 3 is a gaming headset while it can do the same things the Apple Vision Pro can?
That it has way more games, is not a bad thing.
I want tripod recording but I think you'd need a standalone camera. I don't think it records without wearing it.
The immersive video demos by Apple were likely created by a Canon cameras with the Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR Lens. You may be able to duplicate that somehow with those cameras, but really these cameras record 2 images on a single 8k sensor, so 4k images per eye filling 180 degrees, and actually a little less than that, maybe 3.8k images. They are noticeably blurrier compared to the camera on the Vision Pro itself, though the Vision Pro camera don't record in 180 degrees.
So I'd wait until we can get real dual 8k recording before recording before recording on tripod.
It's because it sucks at those other things. It's not a viable computing platform. The only possible use is gaming at best.
How does it suck? With the Quest 3 you can have multiple Virtual Desktops while the AVP only supports 1?
Screen quality and camera quality might be worse, but duh … it’s $500. This is not a $3500 headset.
Tim Cook had this to say about Meta.
Nothing. If Meta wants free advertising they’ll have to get it from somewhere else. I’m sure Apple Vision Pro doesn’t mind the free shoreline property they’re able to hang out for free in Zuckerberg’s head.

regardless of meta’s ambitions, if 3 of 7 top applications are not about gaming.. stands to reason 4 out of 7, aka the majority ARE about gaming. The people get to choose, not marky.
Zuckerberg should have game out of the gate with, “I hope we can be the alternative to Apple Vision Pro.” I’m sure the board didn’t like that either. Probably didn’t like when he followed that up with saying Meta’s device is “cheaper”. So, he’s probably got another few days of saying “Resolution on devices that are primarily used for looking at things isn’t so special.” before they’ll allow him to go back into the recharge room to plug in and rest.
The Android of the AR/VR world is VERY likely to be Android again. Meta has a software advantage now, but Google’s shown themselves to be adept at copying, so they’re in the best position for the first Android device to have good features from both.
He likely got an earful when the FIRST thing he said about AVP was that he hopes Meta can be the AVP alternative. Which, I mean, isn’t a BAD thing to want to be. Android’s been the not-iPhone for years and have made a pretty penny for a lot of different folks. It’s just not what you say out loud in front of the world.
And I don’t think Ballmer ever said anything else really notable about the iPhone. Maybe he flubbed (in hindsight, of course), but he didn’t keep telling anyone who would listen “I like our strategy”. I guess lucky for him there’s not an expectation to say “something” on social media regularly or he might have
I have a Quest 2, and that's all it's for, lol. The only way you can use it for productivity is by using Remote Desktop (which I do really enjoy doing).
Their other big problem is Zuck. The guy is obsessed with e-commerce on social.
If he had his way people would live vicariously through his little imaginary word. 👾
Likely not. Canon says the technology doesn't exist today.
Canon: No Currently Available Camera is High-Res Enough for Apple Vision Pro
"But what if up close, moving content was desired? What if making a whole immersive landscape featuring multiple elements like animals, people, and more was the goal? That would require one heck of a camera system to appear true to life. That is, at least, what Canon believes. "In order to...

Everything he's saying is right, just like how everything Ballmer said was right when he was talking about the iPhone. Yes, Windows Phones had more apps, was cheaper, had a "better" hardware keyboard, and had probably a list of other features and specs that looked better on paper. What the iPhone did better was the user experience with multitouch, just like how much better vision pro's spacial tracking and gestures tracking works much more fluidly than controller based inputs. I'm not saying the Quest is going to go the way of Windows Phone, but Zuck is making the same mistake as Ballmer by not seeing past the surface level things Apple introduced.
According to Karl Guttag, the additional screen resolution of the Vision Pro doesn't give it additional detail in rendering when compared to the Quest 3. In fact, the AVP is actually worse at rendering fine detail than the Q3, at least for images (which would include mirroring a Mac screen). The only advantage of the AVP image is that it blurs the image enough that the subpixel structure isn't visible.
I've gotta say, I agree with him on the motion blur issue. It's really bad on the Vision Pro. I was looking forward to wearing it while doing stuff around the house but the motion blur makes it really suck for that. It wasn't the main reason I returned mine, but it was up there.
Yah why would you want to work with a crappy screen and camera? It's junk.
