#213The only thing I dread is having my expensive ass monitor and speaker setup made obsolete by this.

#214I will happily go on the record as saying that this will be as revolutionary as the iPhone, perhaps even more so. --- EDIT: To clarify this statement... - For personal/entertainment use it largely replaces the need for a TV, soundbar, or home cinema. - For business use, the days of multiple displays and screen management seem set to be a relic of the past. I look forward to coding in an IDE which isn't constrained to…
Is this the new reverse-Dropbox reverse-iPhone HN groupthink meta? The question is, will we link back to this in 10 years as a gotcha as AR/VR is still 10 years away from mainstream then?

#215There is not one mention in the Apple Press Release of any of the terms associated with the product's market:
virtual
augmented
reality
Etc
It's a Spatial Computer don't you know.
Very arrogant but clever marketing I guess.
Anyway, as somebody who would normally by default scoff at the Apple tax, I'm pleased to see them taking the tech seriously, it definitely needs to advance to fulfill the non-gaming promise pointed to by Meta/Oculus.
Perhaps the huge price is justified by the significant specs here.

#216I wonder if folks can trade in dev kits for the first version when it's released next year. That was the case for me with the Apple TV dev kit.

#217Honestly, I just want a headset that's so slimline I don't look like a weirdo on an airplane, and to achieve that all I want is for it to be able to play movies in the 3d cinema experience. Doesn't need to be optimized for games or interactivity. I get that I'm likely minority but my VR needs are very simple.

I'm not so sure about that but I'm 100% sure that if anyone manages to pull that off it's going to be Apple.
Corollary: if this doesn't make AR/VR finally go mainstream then forget about it, it's 3D TV again.

#219Calling it now, the failure of this Apple product is going to be a big turning point for the company. Apple is supposed to be the company that sets trends, but instead they're following Meta down a path that has now shown to be a dead end, and no amount of aesthetics or marketing can prevent it.
Has it been a dead end because of no demand, or has there been no demand because of the poor UX?

#220This is pretty bad for VR.
It will most likely flop because it has no reliable input.
