#2Anyone could have explained that people don’t want to wear a Super Nintendo on their head. It seemed more like a “best we can do right now” technology testbed, or supply chain resource, than a real product. I assume they learned everything there was to know about building it and what it turned out to be good for.
I volunteered to help evaluate the HoloLens at one point. My feedback was that whatever the dream was (checklists in your field of vision, etc), you can do that yourself and get all the value, and the headset didn’t add anything.

#3Most companies don’t have the attention span for the sustained burn needed to develop a new hardware and software platform. These days Apple is just another company. Valve will show them how it’s done.

Also my experience with VR and AR for the most part.
“Do you want to do what you do now on your phone/computer except be extra tired?” is basically the sell.

#6This article is an opinion piece. It doesn’t have any substantive claims, even from insiders that this is the case. It’s most credible claim is that people are moving about to new projects which is not irregular in the least.

Setting it up with Ghost blog or whatever is the easy part.
Not getting sued or harassed by Apple fanboys is difficult.

#8It's never even been available to buy here in Spain lol. And it was really just way too expensive, and they've never really demonstrated a good usecase. I don't think the size and weight were even the biggest issue.
But I'm probably an outlier, I use my meta quests several hours per week.

#10surprisingly, the people I saw getting the most use out the Apple Vision Pro has been healthcare workers (even though that's already incredibly rare to see). There was a doctor I used to talk to at my old job that swore by it. He would pin EPIC app windows in individual patient rooms and would use the built-in microphones for doing speech dictation on patient charts.
I thought it sounded a little goofy when he was explaining it to me, but hey that's at least a more productive use case than watching YouTube videos on the couch.
