This is really a product looking for a solution. I am very skeptical that the people who buy this will be using it a year after they get it. Wearing the headset while your kids are playing seems like something out of a dystopian scifi movie. And using it to watch movies might work while lying in bed but sitting on the couch seems like the next 3D tvs.
Better than parents using their phones whilst their kids are playing?
It'll be interesting to see how this affects the market for high-end TVs and audio systems. A very large TV is $2k, an audio system is another couple thousand (including wiring/install). If one of these costs $3k, it becomes a pretty reasonable decision for a single person who's investing in a setup. Of course, if you want to have people over to watch a movie/game, that complicates things. I wonder if there will be a…
It would be cheaper to rent 1 projector than 5 VR headsets.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah honestly I'm surprised and disheartened that Apple went this direction. This feels dystopian and less humane in many ways – an accelerant of the physical isolation that we've seen technology create. The shots of people at home alone talking to an empty room, the dad playing his daughters with the headset on, the woman grabbing a drink from her fridge. My hope is that this is a calculated step towards a more inte…
But if you feel anxiety you can download a 9.99 per month Mindfulness app, plug it to your 3.999 RSP headset, your 149.99 Bluetooth headphones and pretend you are in a Goop-approved Buddhist meditation landscape (in—app purchase at 9.99) Just like the actual Buddhist monks!

Or sit down with your family and watch something. That's still a thing people do, right?
Imagine wearing this fucking thing at your daughter's birthday party just so you can "re-live" it later.
Just kidding of course - but perhaps there's money being a Vision Pro photographer like you have at weddings.
Doesn’t look very comfortable to wear for people that use glasses (50% of the population)
This will definitely used for pornography.
It showed someone participating in a group video call. But it only showed what the other people (who were not wearing headsets) look like. What does the Vision Pro user look like? Does it just use animoji or something? EDIT: sounds like they render a realistic animated image of you, if I caught that correctly?
Your edit is correct. I was just going to reply. Your stream seems to be ahead of mine :(
