External battery with a cord, and even with that only 2 hours performance. This has to be improved before mainstream appeal. (and the price of course)
remember he said all day use. not sure what it mean.

#32Well it s good, this is how you make something that turns us to cyborgs. A bit pricey to become a household items (because a family needs 4 of them) but this is probably where things are heading to There is so much engineering going on here that maybe ... it's simpler to start considering retina implants or just brain implants. This was more like a work of art than a consumer device. I wonder if Oculus can steal some…
With profiles and OpticID you probably wouldn’t need one for everyone in the household. Or even more than one. Just the lenses.

#33It looks as though it can replace a laptop. Unlike the iPad, assuming the display really delivers on text fidelity, it may be a more comfortable working environment than the old paradigm.
If that’s the case, the effective cost falls considerably because you don’t need the laptop anymore. And get rid of the iPad too.

#34Apple: We're concerned about myopia from holding screens too close to your face. Also Apple: Strap a pair of 4K displays an inch from your eyeballs!!!
Theoretically the lenses could make this not a problem. We’ll have to see how it works in practice though.
Re: Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
#35I 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…
I think more iPad level. A successful product, but not something everyone will have.

#36So where does this leave Meta with the billions poured into the metaverse?
Re: Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
#37The amount of innovation packed into one release blew my mind. Apple has done it again.

#383.5k? Who would reasonably go outside with that thing-- its asking to be robbed off your body.
Re: Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
#39The optics will make or break this, but I came in extremely skeptical, but it's clear they've put a lot of thought into the possibilities landscape, the interaction modes, and the human aspects of it. It looks a whole lot more interesting than I was expecting - it's the best shot I've seen at AR so far. It's also clearly the "First" in the line - similar to the first iPhone and iPad, it's expensive and a bit unwieldy, but you can start to see the potential.

#40Name with "Pro" in it already, might suggest lower-tier versions coming in some future? Device looks promising, and I wonder if they plan to allow 2 devices to show the same content simultaneously to say watch 3D movies with someone else in the same room. Some say $3499 is a high price, but being able to carry huge design studio with you is heck of a value to me.
There's SharePlay for that
