With a minor press release and just 256GB storage, it seems like Apple is losing faith in this direction. Hope I'm wrong, underlying tech seems super cool.

#14Well, I'm certainly going to go into an Apple Store and see if I can test one out. I'm really excited about the potential for productivity focused VR and while this isn't that yet, hopefully it'll get there. In the meantime I've got my SimulaVR pre-ordered.

#15I know a lot of people are rightfully concerned with the viability of this product, but I'm unbelievably excited! Definitely going to be pre-ordering one and picking it up on release day if I can! I'm sure it won't be perfect or anything, but I'm mostly just stoked about the possibilities I see with this thing.

#16It is amazing how the hype for this went off a cliff, especially as the LLM stuff went into orbit. There is a large contingent that understandably want a new iPhone type success, along with new App Store level opportunities, but like with the VR wave I suspect they will be disappointed by this one. The computing industry appears to have run out of obvious things to do with what it has developed.
I don't think hype was ever _that_ high anyway, plus, this is how it is with every product more or less. You hear about it, there's a wave of interest, then generally speaking it tapers off until closer to launch. We now have a launch date so I anticipate interest continues to go upward until launch day and we'll start getting real world feedback as to whether it's a game changer or a flop.
Personally, VR type stuff does not seem like it's going to be a big deal for me. But. I do believe that if Apple can make my work flow better for the work day with a device like this, it would be a big win and that is where my hype for this is coming. It actually allows that separation of work and home easier if work is always in the headset, so there's a potential work life balance win in here.

#17Is it just me misremembering, or is the light seal (last picture carousel on the website) a lot larger than when they originally presented it last year?
It looks like it will stick out to the front a lot. They seem to "hide" this fact by having nearly all pictures at a 90 degrees angle from the face.

#18if it can handle my 75 IPD, i'm in for two
(else I may need two...)

#19I do hope this is successful. The cult-like behavior that Apple inspires may be the big push needed to help VR become adopted by the general public. If it fails, then I'd be pessimistic that VR will have meaningful progression in the next decade.
