I 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.

Apple needs saving? That's news to me!

I’m curious to see the type of adoption here. I think this is more of an enthusiast device than anything. I suspect true success of the Vision Pro will be the introduction of a smaller, cheaper headset aimed at the masses, rather than wide-spread adoption of a $3k+ device

Why would everything be 2D? It has two displays, one per eye, it should be able to show real 3D even with a broken focus/unnatural focus
I'm not saying it is limited to 2D, rather that they missed out by using something that can render 3D to only render 2D objects. Everything they showed off was just apps with layers at the most. When they showed the recreation of the guy, I thought that would be 3D, but they still distilled him into a 2D box

Concerned? No, I just don't see any use for it. At least not at that price. Too expensive for a gimmick. At least I didn't buy a PSVR :) Also, as someone who wears glasses: 1. I trust my regular optometrist a lot more than Apple-made lenses. 2. Do I remember right that you can't swap prescription lenses, so you'd have to get one for each family member? Holy 2500 * N!
I trust Apple-made lenses a lot more than any strip-mall optician. Apple lenses will be worse than the best but far better than the average.
Who said anything about strip mall opticians?
At least they let you swap the lenses. Will they do the unthinkable and let the iPad be multiuser as well?
I 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.
What do you see with it? I see a better in some ways (display, cameras, maybe finger tracking) VR headset than an alternative like the Quest 3 but also with some serious downsides, no controllers, insanely high price and potential weight issues because of all the metal/glass.
The main issue I have with the Vision Pro is that Apple learned with the iPad what to do and what not to do when it comes to their customers, chiefly to have an app store that you could not install software outside of. Had the Mac been invented today, it surely would follow the same model, and the Vision Pro is very likely to be following such a model. If I can't use it to have my own applications, whatever they migh…
macOS does follow the same model now, in case you haven’t been paying attention. You can’t run unsigned binaries downloaded from the internet anymore.
