WWDC 2023 Apple Event Live Keynote Coverage: Headset, iOS 17, New Macs, and More

[alexandr]

I still haven't found a personal use case for iPad. Just a MBP and iPhone is going to make me oldddddddd.

Exactly. We'll be laughed at.

 

[tonie walker]

the battery pack and wire is like having administration set for my medical needs

 

[MuckrakerJG]

The porn on my Mac is going to be more immersive than ever before, you guys.

 

[sjsharksfan12]

This feels like how Zombieland is born.

 

[OW22]

Wait. What if you're video conferencing with a colleague who also has a headset on??

 

[city_17]

I still don't really see the advantage. It's literally all the apps that already exist, just you see them bigger and you have to wear goggles. In terms of functionality there is no advantage whatsoever.

 

[Yorkieray]

Yep, note how they film people mostly on their right side.

Shot now on the left clearly shows the cable.

 

[Saturnine]

Well I think it’s … interesting. Though I probably won’t be buying one, I’ll definitely be watching out for the Gen 2 version and beyond. Realistically, this isn’t going mainstream until it’s physically less intrusive. In the meantime, it looks like a very interesting way to figure how which applications work in AR and which don’t.

 

[The Mercurian]

This is like science fiction. Zuck's metaverse looks like a high school project in comparison

 

[phr0z3n]

All of a sudden it gets transparent and you realize your cousin is in the room...

Sweet home Alabama!

 

[Seanm87]

So how do YOU look like to the people on FaceTime? Surely not just a giant couple of eyes?

 

[ISignedUpToAskThis]

Steve Jobs is rolling in his grave as we speak.

 

[TVreporter]

They go from eye health discussion to "slap these 5K monitors inches from your eyes"…

 

[Mr. Dee]

Apple has to do this, its just the start. Can you imagine what this is gonna look like in 5 to 10 years?

 

[Realityck]

How is someone wearing Vision Pro going to show one's face during a FaceTime meeting?

 

[topdrawer]

but what do you look like in facetime?

 

[Rogifan]

Who in the world would want to wear this on their face?

 

[mossimossimossi]

FaceTime on Vision Pro, how do you appear to the others who don't have Vision Pro? How are you filmed?

 

[alexandr]

Sweet home Alabama!

Take me home))))

 

[AustinIllini]

Exactly. We'll be laughed at.

Depends how society accepts constant, in your face distractions.

 

[Aeryn]

Whats the cable even connected to? She got the Battery in her pants?

Okay, that's definitive proof it's fake…women's pants don't have pockets. And if they do, they aren't big enough for the battery pack at the other end of that thick cable.

 

[Mainyehc]

Didn't they say EyeSight would automatically activate if someone entered your field of view? How would that even work in public or in an office setting, wouldn't it be activating all the time?

Maybe it could even be active all the time based on location, the office being one such setting. But having it react or not according to the task at hand and the do-not-disturb setting, and perhaps having it be able to smartly override it – like, say, by detecting the degree of urgency in an interruption, or fire alarms/sirens, à lá fall detection, would make sense.

The only inherently creepy thing about it at the moment is the visual aspect of the implementation, because it can be made to work well from a social and practical standpoint, it's just a UX thing.

 

[LIVEFRMNYC]

No AR Memojis? 🥲

 

[jbachandouris]

STILL talking about it? Wow. Just give us the release date and price already. Total waste of time.

 

[jmgregory1]

As ungainly as these goggles are, what Apple is showing here is really next level AR/VR computing. They’ll just need to get these goggles slimmed down to sunglasses size and it will absolutely change how people work.
