It's the focusing close that is bad, and with the lenses you are focusing further in the distance

#42I guess they had to call it a "spatial computer" in an attempt to overcome the shock that they want $3,500 for a VR headset when the competition is selling their newest generation for $500.
Yes, but what they are doing seems to be nothing like the other VR headsets, did you watch or read?

#43If this can replace the four screens attached to my corporate M2 Max by acting as virtual displays for it, then I'm buying one.

#44I really miss the authenticity of an Elon presentation. Some of the people in the Vision Pro presentation looked 3D rendered with the degree of post processing the video underwent.
When is the Cybertruck releasing again?

#45I'd rather take a vacation for $3500 than buy this.

#46I think it was Bill Gates who once said that you're not a platform until the things built using your service are worth more than the service.
This feels like it is going to be a platform.
Before the Vision Pro part of the presentation, it already felt like the best WWDC presentation in years!
For those experiencing sticker shock - think of the real estate you can free up in your bedroom-office.

#47They should have called it the Reality Distortion Field.

The focal distance won't be an inch away of course. Every headset I've seen specs for puts the focal distance at 20ft. For normal human eyes, 20ft is optical infinity, so there's no difference optically between looking into a headset and looking at the horizon.

#50Looks incredible. The cinema experience itself feels amazing.
Wonder what the long term effects of using this will be?
Apple does not mention how usage metrics, or testing for harmful effects on vision, etc.
