Vision Pro - Best gaming headset - Would Apple Block It ?

Wild guess....

Walkabout Mini Golf just has to be ported to this AR/VR headset.
It's such an obvious game, and due to it's style easy title for the hardware to run, and it gets a lot of love as a VR title.

What about controlling it?
Seems like it'd be odd with nothing

You could grab a stick? How much of your body movement can the VP detect? For instance, if you are playing a shooting game, can you just hold up your hand like you are holding a gun, and make shooting motions with your finger, and have VP translate that motion into shooting action in the game?

The cameras would only see your arms and the base of your palms and maybe an oblique view of a thumb or two.

Maybe you could use the IMU of the Apple Watch to assist with tracking...

Would a 3nm M3 with Ray Tracing GPU cores help?

There was rumors of the last iPhone chip allegedly supposed to have Ray Tracing but got junked very late in the development cycle due to too much power consumption.

After 52W it should be fixed by now.

Immensely.

I agree. No controllers for a golf game is a bit odd.

We'll have to wait and see how Golf Plus does it. Cos I think the devs confirmed they plan on porting it to Vision? So maybe they have a solution.

edit: but I do think the Vision will have no issues with gaming overall (contrary to what the PCVR and Quest crowd might claim). Even with hand/eye tracking only.

Nah. Even PC VR games don't bother with raytracing, and PC GPUs have an order of magnitude more power than the M2.

For those talking about games and the use of controllers, I do believe if Apple was that way inclined with gaming on the Vison Pro then they would build hand controllers that tethers to the headset via bluetooth but I think Apple will be waiting to see which section/area of the IT world the Vision Pro gravitates too before it decides on what extra accessories to build for it.
