Just get it. It will leave your Oculus Quest on the dust. try it for a couple weeks, if you don't like it, return it.
That's how I bought mine.

With the AVP, it looks so real that you forget is a video. Motion sickness may be triggered on most people by low quality video content. I don't have motion sickness, but only one time I remember getting a FPS game for the original Xbox to play on my 50" projection TV, and the graphics were so bad that I almost puked. Only that game. No issues with Halo and Halo 2 or any other game I have ever played.
Maybe my definition of "adventure" is different, but I wonder if Apple might be able to conjure a different immersive experience than people needlessly putting their well-being and safety at risk for the sake of good footage. I find watching people parkour to be as cringe-inducing as watching people do skateboard tricks. I love the immersive technology, but question the taste of whomever is making content decisions.
I saw the show twice myself. Once from the floor and once from the way back. Now that their residency has ended I really wish I could see it one more time. A 180° video or better yet a 360° of it would be a dream come true.
Spatial Video is not Immersive Video
One is in a box, the other is a hemisphere.
You realize that downer posts like this scream of envy, or ignorance.
I bet you $3500 that once you actually experience a tight-rope walk in the Vision Pro, you'd finally "get it". 😎
And when Apple announces that they've developed Generative AI to convert all Spatial Video into Immersive Video, then what? 🤓
So, 50 customers then?
Is this “spatial computing”? Because I’m pretty sure floating 2-D desktops isn’t. When will we see an example of Apples main argument for this thing’s existence?
50 units is just petty cash to a $3 trillion corporation, and is certainly no measure of adoption.
500 units is only $1,750,000. Again, petty cash. When Apple introduces introduced the iPhone 15, they sold 20.4 million of them in the first month. That would translate to about $15-20 BILLION.
At this point I'm wondering how long it would take to recover development costs from VP revenue.
VP is not the magic bullet. It's a $5000 toy. Smarter Siri, software and services are the magic bullet going forward, not insanely expensive consumer hardware, with limited utility in the for-profit sector.
Well, if you thought that millions of people who have their phone on a 24-month lease were going to buy a Vision Pro, I guess you're right. They weren't going to buy one.
To me, it was always a business tool that would eventually trickle down to a level where everyone who has a phone would be able to have one.
Apple should have had a plan to have content for regular users who could afford it. They literally need a visionary, instead of just deciding by committee.
OK, and? The question is not if people *have* them but how they *use* them. A company using AVP to enable a specific business purpose it a lot more interesting than owning some that are put on a shelf and occasionally poked at.
My company used Google Glass too, and look where that got...
Yep totally. If I was Tim Cook I’d be making deals left right and centre for every sport and music event I could find. Use TV+ subscriptions to subsidise it and get 180 3D cameras installed at all the big events. For example, French open tennis starts next week, I would pay a ridiculous amount to be able to sit court side and watch Nadal in his last French open. The lack of content at the minute feels like a huge missed opportunity
He’s calling it a dud because of the amount of people who have purchased it being about 200,000 total sales.
The amount that’s available second hand online & cheaper is probably another reason why people are calling it a dud
Don’t you wannabe an 80s Jackie Chan wannabe, but this time with a cyber helmet on your face so you can’t see clearly that you are about to fall 100m?
