Re: Apple Vision Pro: Apple’s first spatial computer
#832"The kids are playing, better record a spacial moment" was one of the most dystopic things I've seen in a long time. Same with the ad at the end, with the father wearing it around his kids. I feel like the interface demands strapping something this futuristic over your head is just... wrong. Perhaps a few years of refining the tech can lead to something that feels more natural
Agreed. As a parent, that just seemed like something that'd never happen the way it was shown. It'd be more like:
- dads enjoying a movie on the headset
- the kids come home and are immediately rambunctious
- headset comes off

#833Parent interacting with small child while wearing the headset is positively and grossly disgusting.

#836A 3000 dollar novelty trick that I couldn't stand to wear for more than 30 minutes. Big no on this.

#837The hardware is no doubt impressive, as expected, but I just can't see myself in any of the situations they keep showing in VR/AR demos. Does someone really sit on their couch, put on a massive headset, and scroll through their vacation photos? Does someone watch an entire 2+ hour movie with a sweaty headset strapped to them (and plugged into a socket) instead of on a couch with their family/friends? Would I want to…

They told Steve Jobs that no one likes to tab on a piece of glass, people want physical buttons. And yet, here we are.

#838This thing is so boring and funny

#839I will say this is not for me, but the presentation makes it look like it makes more sense than anything Meta has produced so far. I don’t want it, but I understand why someone might. I don’t care about metaverse or gaming, but they made it look actually useful.
Well said, I’m not convinced I’m going to get value out of it, but I can totally see real use cases here. Better than “you’re going to socialize” from meta.

#840I'm usually a fan of shiny new things, but this might be the first time I'll make an intentional effort to not buy something. I expect it's going to be fantastic, and using it for my development workstation would be amazing. However, I feel like this will be a net negative for humankind. My kids will plead with me to get them one, and it will be easy to say no because it's so expensive. But with each successive gener…
I was cringing at the parts of the keynote talking about reliving the memories (... because they were in la-la VR land). Just no!
However, I think this will be a breakthrough for at-home therapy sessions due to the immersive nature of the device.
