it's like AI doesn't have taste and the human needs to bring it to create anything worthwhile - the same applies to most asian companies (it's mainly left brain engineering that requires for there to be something to benchmark, copy, and tinker with and very little original thought on how something should look and function)
Hopefully they don’t price it too high. To be fair to Samsung they did have the gear VR out years before the Vision Pro, albeit a rather rudimentary version.
Rofl. That looks nothing like the AVP nor anything Apple would ever take inspiration from
No Samsung actually had a VR headset first. They just abandoned it and now decided to try again after seeing the Vision Pro.
Waiting to see Samsung's headset along with its price. Maybe Samsung will be pricing it much lower than Vision Pro. But still don't expect it to sell in huge numbers. Glasses are what is actually required. Samsung too will release it in the future.
And what did the test show? That even with a great piece of hardware, developers couldn’t come with anything really interesting for consumers to do in VR. Certainly not the “killer app”.
Apple needed to carry the application / content development for AVP much more than they anticipated. And when Apple didn’t do that, the AVP failed.
The crutch that Apple provided - the ability to port over flat apps - actually proved disastrous. The AVP became nothing more than an iPad you wear on your face. Something to do in the beginning led to nothing to do in the end.
There’s almost nothing on AVP that’s not easier to do on an iPad or Mac monitor.
For me it's not obvious at all. Vision Pro is not useful for such a use case. It's clearly focusing on stationary use. Or did I overlook your <sarcasm> tags? ;-)
You should be able to with the new developer cable which might have power delivery and faster speeds.
If they reduce the price I might be tempted to buy one. I have a meta quest which is mainly for my kids. The VP is too expensive for something I wouldn’t use all that often. However, if Samsung can get the price under £2,000 I’d give it a try.
Large displays, OLED screens and more. I could go on. I prefer Apple’s implementation but in most areas Samsung leads and Apple waits to perfect it or implement it in a more useful way. But let’s give Samsung credit where it’s due.

Just something else they'll end up giving away with their phones to create sales, just like buds, watches and chromebooks.
It’s easy to point to the price & say that’s the biggest problem for the Apple Vision Pro it’s not it’s the long term of the headset in general because time and again technology companies bring this stuff out and sales spike then it they decline because it’s to do with the human psyche of it
It’s a Samsung headset that you strapped onto your head fundamentally the Vision Pro is the same with improved tech
Yes that’s what companies do it’s called promotion phone companies do it all the time to get you to trade in your current iPhone to get the new one it’s called reeling the customer in.
