Sir, it's FIVE of us!The two people owning the AVP will be tickled as punch to finally have a use for it. Too bad the lakers haven't been very good these past few years - doesn't make for great watching
Me! I'm one! I literally asked for something like this!
But crap it looks like it's not going to be available in my area? Is it region limited?
Also, I need to start being a sports fan.
It sounds to me like you don't get it. There is no screen in your space to resize. You see things at their real size. This is not like watching a 3D movie in the theater.
Comfort could be an issue. I don't like wearing my VR headset for extended passive experiences.
It may not work as well for in person gatherings, but it could enable you to watch a game with others that can't be physically present. I've watched movies with friends who live in another country, in a VR movie theater.
Add me to the waiting list for a lighter weight and more affordable Vision product!
I’d be more interested if it could create the experience of The Sphere. Blows away any other venue I’ve ever been to. It isn’t even close.
Is the Quest experience good enough that when watching *normal* TV you are very disappointed?
The idea of a very good immersive experience is something that I would begin to consider purchasing a unit.
Considering there are more variants of The Life Of A Showgirl than COVID-19 and Swifties are buying all versions of them, I am pretty sure they would have bought an Vision Pro just for the Eras Tour
The venn diagram overlap between people who have a subscription to a Spectrum internet plan or Spectrum SportsNet+, live in Southern California, Southern Nevada, or Hawaii, are a Lakers fan, and own a Vision Pro cannot be a large number. Like maybe 2,000-3,000 people tops?
The high price makes it a worse product than it could be even for people who can easily afford it. Why will developers make software and content for it when they can't recoup your costs from the small userbase?
Maybe consider a lower-end, non-Prosumer-catering Vision headset which was apparently cancelled (which makes sense just like there isn’t a non-pro desktop tower), the price seems to be holding up well to the Pro Display XDR considering how much compromises have been made to try and be cheaper instead of cheaper AND (overall) better.
Samsung’s upcoming solution will be a much needed litmus test compared to the non-standalone and increased primer headsets that have increased their costs more than anything at the prosumer level.
…It’s a prosumer product: The audience are devs themselves and known prosumer audiences such as enterprise users.
Majority of the target audiences are making the apps/content themselves with highest end premade content for the medium being best represented by the headset.
The Lapz app is awesome but F1 won't let them sign on any new users. Not VR and the resolution isn't 8k, but having a giant main screen and a driver cam or two off to the side with the ability to hear all of the driver audio for drivers you select is awesome. You need a F1 subscription to watch it. By far my favorite way to watch a race (well unless you're in person lol).
Haha. I was going to post the same exact comment. All 5 of you are lucky. Gotta dust off the apple helmet.
In time, everyone will have some brand of VR headset. Even with the latest Vision OS release two (or more?) people can share content if they each have their own AVPs.
